Totems Will Rise Again... Better Than They Have Ever Been!

WELCOME!

     Remember Totem Shaman archetype back in TGT? Who could have thought that this deck will rise up from its graveyard? I am so happy that I resurrected a forgotten archetype from the dusty pages of history in Wild format.

 

HOW TO PLAY?

     Swarm your board with Totems below...

 

Totemic Call Card Image

EVIL Totem Card ImageTotem Golem Card Image

Flametongue Totem Card ImageMana Tide Totem Card ImageNightmare Amalgam Card Image

 

     Then, have a look at your tools below...

 

Archmage Vargoth Card ImageWicked Witchdoctor Card Image

Totemic Might Card ImageTotemic Surge Card ImagePrimal Fusion Card Image

 

     Use them wisely, especially when you are about to close up a game. For example, when you have lots of Totems on-board, Totemic Surge will act as a mini-Bloodlust but a permanent one. Totemic Might helps your Totems resist against board-clears such as Flamestrike. If you play your spells when Vargoth and/or Witchdoctor is on-board, that will be incredible...

 

Splitting Axe Card ImageDraenei Totemcarver Card ImageThunder Bluff Valiant Card Image

 

     More Totems, more power with Thunder Bluff Valiant for more danger to your opponent! Also, Splitting Axe will duplicate your Totems on-board to boost Draenei Totemcarver.

 

Sea Giant Card ImageNightmare Amalgam Card ImageThing from Below Card Image

 

     After swarming your board with Totems, Sea Giant/Thing from Below will be super cheap. Thus, you can cheat them out with ease. By the way, don't forget that Nightmare Amalgam is classified as a Totem, so all Totem-related cards will help this all-of-a-kind fella, too.

 

     So, that's all for SoU-Totem Shaman. If you have any questions, ask me anytime. Then, have fun in Wild format!

    most cards in this deck are even, the odd cards don't seem that important.. how does those totem cards work in even shaman?

      Well, since you pointed out that way, I guess Even Shaman is way better. You can spam Totems far better here.

    Effective in that it can win some games now, largely thanks to the SoU cards. No tracker while playing it but I'm over 50% win rate. It needs a good start and that can be tricky with totems and no 1 drops. Reno/Cube locks will laugh at you. defile, lord godfrey, hellfire, and twisting nether to boot... not much chance beating them. Ultimately, basic totems are garbage and the few decent totems aren't really enough to carry the archetype. I think a tier 3ish totem deck could be possible now, though.

      Your points are clear as a crystal. Sadly, there are not so much non-Basic Totems that could carry Totem Shaman archetype but I'm glad with your average succession. Thanks for your feedback and I hope you enjoyed with this deck 😃

    Fun and surprisingly effective. Splitting Axe and Totemic Surge are huge difference makers for the archetype.

      Is it, really? I mean, I just came up with this deck as I don't have some cards to test out, ha ha.  So, can this deck compete enough against average deck according to your tests since you said this deck is "surprisingly effective"? Or, do I need to change some cards here and there?

       

      Your valuable feedback regarding my questions is needed because I may need to take a different direction. It was an honor for site Staff testing my deck and I wish you a good day, AbusingKel 😃
