Bro, do you Even Shaman?

So, I finally crafted Genn a couple days ago, and already I've fallen for Even Shaman. So I decided to start a thread for anything and everything Even Shaman - lists, strategies, matchups or just stories. Any insight welcome. I'm currently at 10-4 with the deck at ranks 5-4, however I rotate between two lists: one with walking fountains, corpsetakers and some extra hex action; the other with thunderheads, likkims and some extra overload cards like zap and that 4 mana BRM 'gain X attack' boy. Would love to hear from folks who run/ran either or both.

So, yeah, Even Shaman archetype. Hope this is enough to start a discussion!

  • Why aren't you running the good even shaman list? (Minus the windfury)

    • I've seen this one, but I like the Thunderhead variant more. Totemcarver is reliant on keeping a wide board of totems, of course you could highroll 8/8, but Fireguard is generally a 5/6 for the same cost with overload synergy. Don't really like Dire Wolf that much with Shaman, I feel like a well placed Zap helps me out in more situations, plus - overload synergy. Also, no Aya, so subbed Ragnaros for her.

      It's dawning on me that the Corpsetaker version, while at times cool, may be slightly slow for current Wild meta, though in this case Hex and 8 mana legendaries may be slowing it down.

      That's another thing - big, legendary goons in Even Shaman, yay or nay? I run both LK and Rag myself, but I'll let someone else speak on it first.

        Without Dire Wolf, your totems are useles

  • Also, played around with the deckbuilder, so here's my list:

  • I am not a fan of Shaman as a class, but Even Shaman is indeed the deck that best fits my abilities and my style in the game: Even Shaman is the perfect Jack of all Trades, fair chances against nearly any opponent.

    So at the end of the day, Even Shaman is one of my favourite decks ever, and my main climbing deck.

    I am just just unsure about crafting The Storm Bringer, it sounds tons of fun after the buff...

    • If I had 1600+ dust available, the smart craft for the archetype would probably be Ayaya, but I'm not sure I could resist some Storm Bringer memes myself.

        I own aya, but i still prefer Fire Elemental in her place.

        In my list, TSB would replace Ragnaros/TLK.

        • Does the elemental 'win' you situations more as the 6/5 body, or the 3dmg battlecry, what do you think?

            It's both. The 3 damage could give you that last bit of burst damage or tempo you were looking for AND you get a 6/5 body. It's a great topdeck in the lategame.

            Edit: that's why I run both one fire elemental and one Aya, cutting the aforementioned windfury. 

  • Here's the Corpsetaker/Fountain variant I've been playing around with:

  • I like Even Shaman, but when it comes to Shaman decks... honestly, I love playing the hell out Overload cards.  Especially with Thunderhead he really makes it so much easier to cast Overload cards because you get a consolation gift for locking your mana.  I hope that the next set will release another unlock card though.
