Ra-den Returns Reliquary Shaman

Reliquary Shaman is back, and it got a massive upgrade with Cagematch Custodian! It is possible to summon 12 Reliquary of Souls much more reliably with help from Cagematch Custodian to draw The Fist of Ra-den from your deck more consistently. This is one of my favorite decks this expansion, even if it only has one new card...

In case you don't know what Reliquary Shaman is, it's a deck focused on summoning Reliquary of Souls as the guaranteed 1-mana Legendary from The Fist of Ra-den. So, we've got a bunch of 1-cost spells and 1-cost spell generators alongside Hoard Pillager to re-equip The Fist of Ra-den. The original version had Bloodmage Thalnos and Speaker Gidra instead of the 2 Lightning Storm, but we adjusted the deck due to the number of aggro decks we were facing. If you're not facing as much aggro, you may consider swapping back to those two Legendaries.

We ended up with around a 40% winrate across both versions, but that was likely lower than the deck is capable since I was more focused on summoning as many Reliquary of Souls and Reliquary Primes as possible over winning... Anyways, if you're looking for a fun twist on Shaman to experiment with that got a lot more powerful this expansion, you might try this out!
