First of all proof for reaching legend https://twitter.com/Snoodyboo/status/774934224109506562.
Ok, so the first thing you will think is : 'Well, this just looks like another midrange Shaman deck with a few tweaks than the ones from other people'. And there's no denying that, but in the end taking an already existing archetype of a deck and tweaking it accordingly to the meta is also deckbuilding.
So what are the cards in this deck and why they are in the deck.
1-Argent Horserider: So this card allows you to transition into the mid game without instantly dying to aggro. Good targets it can hit in current meta could be any tempo mage 2 drop, same for hunter or even just being annoying for another shaman. Also it has sinergy with flametongue totem and Barnes.
2-Rag over Al'akir: Since we make the deck faster with horseriders and cutting one fire ele you need to make up for it with some heavy late game pressence, so an 8/8 body is better than a 3/5, and it can also have a finisher function. Plus the meme barnes sinergy.
3- Cutting 1 Mana Tide and 1 Fire ele: this is a midrange decks with a lot of draw mechanic and value within only a few cards, like Thunder Bluff Valiant that can solo out a game , so that's why I thought I would cut the slower less useful cards and leave one copy of each , which means you probably still draw them enough on the turn you need them but don't overdo it.
I guess those are all the changes and reasoning for it. It's still shaman and it's probably tier 0-1 to at the moment, so go higroll some opponents on ladder :)
Possible changes: -1 argent horserider +1 Brann Bronzebeard if you want to go for the value route.
I played 2 matches against Malygos druid and lost them both, but since then I haven't lost even one!!!
Good deck
Damn wish I saw this deck sooner, it's so smooth for me atm and fun :D Tyvm.
Debating on wether or not I want to up vote because I don't see anyone else with this deck haha :P <3 I got you though.

(The hunter was at 2 health and only won because he topdecked Call of the Wild)
So the deck is really good against Tempo Mage, Dragon and Control Warrior, Yogg Druid and Zoolock. Hunter and other Midrange decks are okay. The only problem I have are super aggressive decks, but I'm not sure if it is me playing bad or they had just incredible draw luck.After playing more with it I totally changed my mind on this. See the stats below.
Played against Alliestrasza … and won. It is a good example how this deck destroys Tempo Mages. *click*
I switched one Argent Horserider for Brann Bronzebeard. Brann is good removal bait and he is as hard to remove as horserider. When you can pull it off with Barnes or Tuskar you get huge value and even with Azure Drake and Fire Elemental it is good value.

And the stats of rank 2 to Legend
I haven't found a good way of dealing with Rogues because they always burgle the perfect cards. And the losses against Druid were all Yogg when I already had lethal on board.
Amen, these swaps have such an impact in the 3 drop and 4 drop play, I turned the loosing into a winning streak finally. Indeed, what a struggle, but the combos within the first 4 turns are just golden.
