Mid-Range Shaman Deck, looking for constructive criticism

Since the reset I had been trying out warrior control and MurLock, but hadn’t had much success. Mostly thanks to the prevalence of taunts, and probably my own ability with the decks. As such I decided to move on to Shaman for the time being, and so far have had a lot of success. Here’s the deck I’m using at the moment:

Earth shock x 2

Forked lightning

Lightning bolt x 2

Rockbiter weapon x 2

Stormforged axe

Windfury

Bloodmage Thalmos

Flametongue totem x 2

Nat pagle

Feral spirit x 2

Hex x 2

Lightning storm x 2

Mana tide totem x 2

Unbound elemental x 2

Chillwind yeti

Defender of argus

Leeroy Jenkins

Azure drake x 2

Fire elemental x 2

The deck has been working great for me so far, with only a couple of losses, though I’m still at a rather low rank between 22-17. For the most part you just control the board with your spells and minions, and then burst 18 damage from Leeroy, rockbiter and windfury. The combo is easy enough to pull off thanks to all the draw power, and it’s not hard to do 12 damage over the turns before you use this as a finisher.

I much prefer this as a finisher over bloodlust, because despite bloodlust only being one card in itself, it does require a fairly full board to burst out the damage. Unless you can provide some pretty solid evidence that bloodlust is a better finisher I’d rather not switch to it.

But yeah, any constructive criticism is much appreciated, thanks everyone.

(Also my apologies if this should be in the Shaman thread rather than the deck building one)

That’s almost card for card how I run it, except I only run 1 Mana Tide and no Forked Lightning. Instead I use a Lava Burst and Bloodlust to give options for finishing.

I think Earth Shock is a really bad card, I would replace it with 2 Spellbreakers instead. Also scrap Feral Spirits, they usually do more bad than good, instead replace those with Unbound Elemental. Lastly if you are that totem dependent, get 1 Bloodlust (Replace Windfury).

That’s my opinion. Not much explanation needed, because I just replaced “Useless” cards for you. I also prefer 1 Bloodlust instead of Winfuries as a finisher. You might also consider getting two Gatgetzan Auctioneers instead of Mana Tide totems, because your deck is super spells dependant.

Thanks for the reassurance Tehslippery

2x Mana tide, with Pagle too, are probabily overkill. What about Al’akir instead? You play 2x Flametongue, 2x Rockbiter, he can combo easiliy!
