Voodoo Shaman

This is a deck I have worked on from last March. With GvG and some recent changes it has absolutely taken off and has done amazing in ladder. It has been easily 65-70% winrate vs everything except hunter which it has struggled against(45%ish winrate here), but who hasn’t really. I can’t post a pic from work computer but here is the list. I would love for you guys to try it out. I know you will love it. Thanks for looking.

2- Earth Shock
2- Rockbiter
1- Zombie Chow
2- Reincarnate
2- Flametongue Totem
1- Haunted Creeper
2- Nerubian Eggs
2- Feral Spirit
2- Hex
2- Lightning Storm
1- Defender of Argus
1- Gnomish Inventor
1- Antique Healbot
1- Harrison Jones OR Azure Drake
2- Sludge Belchers
1- Fire Elemental
1- Piloted Sky Golem
1- Slyvanas Windrunner
1- Al’Akir the Windlord
1- Kel’Thuzad
1- Sneed’s Old Shredder

Here is a copy and paste from my original post (on HH) for strategy.

Shaman control utilizing Reincarnate for deathrattle exploits. Even after GvG this deck is very strong in the ladder.

Starting Hand
Mulligans should always be for either Nerubian Egg, Feral Spirit, or counters like Rockbiter Weapon, Earth Shock, or Lightning Storm (if it’s rush). The only early game this deck has is Nerubian Egg and Feral Spirit ( Updated with Zombie Chow and Haunted Creeper ) so you will always be looking to counter and stall your opponent until your mid game. Don’t keep Reincarnate unless you have Nerubian Egg. The one exception to this may be if you know your opponent is playing Handlock since it is a good counter to a turn 4 Twilight Drake if you don’t have an Earth Shock.

Strategy
Reincarnate is magic in this deck and is SUPER underrated it is one of the few tempo cards Shaman gets and helps offset the Overload tempo loss- Draw and Play a 4/4 when used on Nerubian Egg, Draw and Play a 4 drop from Piloted Sky Golem, Draw and Play a Legendary with Sneed’s Old Shredder, 2 mana Mind Control when used with Sylvanas Windrunner, 2 mana “infinite” Kel’Thuzad. Gives “Mega- Windfury” on Al’Akir the Windlord. It can be used as a full heal on low hp targets. It can also be used offensively as a mini Earthshock which gets rid of battlecrys on minions like Twilight Drake and Ancient of War or other buffs which may have been applied-eg. Houndmaster.

Nerubian Egg outplays Haunted Creeper (which is more traditionally used in Shaman) because of Reincarnate and the 5 other cards that activate it. (x2 Rockbiter Weapon, x2 Flametongue Totem, or Defender of Argus). Un-activated eggs act as a soft counter to AoE and can draw early silences away from late game cards like Sylvanas Windrunner and Kel’Thuzad.

Kel’Thuzad has a ton of synergy with the deathrattle cards and has the benefit of helping in some losing positions, unlike many legendaries which are only “win more” cards. Acts as “card draw” as long as you can take advantage of the effect.

Why is turn 4 so light? Shamans are many times overloaded on 4 from Feral Spirit or Lightning Storm which where played on 3. I chose to ignore this turn in favor of better cards elsewhere in the curve.

***Updated with GvG and added Sneed’s Old Shredder for more end game synergy with Kel’Thuzad and Reincarnate. Also added Antique Healbot to overcome rush and stabilize. I did add one Zombie Chow and Haunted Creeper to help with early game. This was more of a meta call with all the rush.***

Interesting decklist. At first I thought t had voodoo doctor in it from the title and I got nervous but it looks fun.

Mind if I ask where you are on the ladder?

Currently 5. Not because I can’t get higher I just simply haven’t had the time to play. This deck will go Legend easy.
