So I'm trying this idea in an attempt to break free of the aforementioned stereotypical shaman build. Basically revolves around getting super value from blademasters, earth eles, faceless and ancestral healing/spirit. Blademaster + AH is basically better than what priests do, albeit worse against TBK. That said, they can only throw one TBK at you, so if they do bust a Blademaster (or preferably Tazdingo) with him, that means Earth Eles don't have so much to worry about. Faceless is pretty key since copying pretty much any minion with ancestral spirit is amazing value, also it makes silencing much less effective if i can pull it off. I put TBK in simply as extra removal, comboed with ancestral healing its pretty much "play a yeti and remove anything you like for 2 mana". Turn 10 you can do things like Earth Ele + Faceless, or Blademaster + AH + AS + Faceless.
Cards I'm not sure about are Rockbiter, Unbound and Rag. Rockbiter is pretty much there as a pseudo lightning bolt, has its upsides and downsides to it. I might consider Forked Lightning over it? But idk. I don't like the card a lot but its nice vs aggro, but a the same time this deck is already pretty good vs aggro. Unbound is in there because its nice value as I churn out the overload, but I wonder if having a second Tazdingo would be better so I can more reliably bait TBK and other removal for the sake of the other big guys. And Rag is pretty much there because hes a good card and sticking ancestral whatever on him and facelessing him are good value thing to do- I'd probably replace with Cairne if I had him, but for the time being my only alternative is Ysera. On one hand she basically acts like draw (which the deck lacks), and she'd be very nice to ancestral/faceless, but on the other its much easier to overload 2 than 3, so that'll suck. I've thought about adding Earthen Rings to give another card to combo with Blademasters and also serve as emergency healing if need be, but I don't think I can justify those as another 3 drop against the plethora of really good 3 drops shaman already has to choose from.
Oh and Kobold is only in there because I don't have Thalnos yet. I should probably point out I'm not anything special, I hang around rank 10ish, so I guess I'm posting this in order to see what those in higher ranks think, what can be improved, etc
Edit: Brutal opener vs Miracle
