That's the point he was making.

The fact he won supports the idea he was pushing (which I don't know if I agree with, btw, just explaining the thought process) that this Shaman deck is actually not bad.
Pieter Hellemans Flametongue was actually pretty decent in my elemental shaman deck last expansion. Granted, now we have Vessina, but I think flametongue could be a reasonable inclusion over one of the bloodlusts. It makes splitting axe more of a versatile play, and it's better for small boards.
@@nanowasabi4421 i prefer running 2 bloodlusts in this kind of deck, it's more reliable and your burst potential is way higher. Flametongue is a bad tempo play at 3 mana, i wouldn't run it in this deck
Just started watching the video, currently at 30 seconds in, and before I proceed I just wanna throw it out there that I've been playing Totem Shaman in wild for years. It's never been as good as now due to the powerful cards added in SoU, but still I've found it to be a hilarious deck. Much love to you Kripp for shining some light on it even in standard!
17:55 NaviOOT has 9 mana here. That was Tortolan for 8 mana into Box, into Nourish, gets the 50/50 right for 2 mana ramp, removes top three cards with Book of Specters, so Flare draws exactly Frost Nova, which he can play since he is at 3 mana now. I am SO glad you still won that game, otherwise that loss would be utter boxsh*t.
I used to play totem shaman when genn first came out. Totem cruncher and totemic might and the spell that gave totems buffed stats (forget what it was) was o.p
idk if totem shaman is a thing, but Nightmare Amalgam + Splitting Axe is a pretty sick combo that could probably fit into a deck that isn't totally totem focused.
I've been playing a Lot of totemish Shammy the last few weeks. And my deck is Marginally different to yours but overall i feel it is Comparative no Krag'wa or Vessina, and no splitting axe, in place of them i run an extra Hex, Earth Shock x2 and Zentrimo. i only opened 80 packs this expansion, but i did get lucky in so far as i got 10 Legendarys + the free 1, i AM tempted to dust the Golden Mage quest and Golden Warrior Quest
I only enjoy playing the game using self-created decks. I can't justify playing a single net deck. I have too much self worth for that. I'm proud of you Kripp.
I've been playing my own deck similar to this since the expansion came out. was able to climb to rank 5, but unfortunately was hard countered by warrior. Hopefully i can get legend after the nerfs.
cool. i found that totem thing out before wathing this. now i am researching. i played it with a Genn (1). i rushed from 15 to rang 10 in a couple of hours with a lot of win strikes. A lot of players were just pissed cuz´they didnt saw it coming. I put a giant in it. and the overload totems. Also a bad archmage.
This is why I watch out for HS content on YT. Maybe I just haven't spend much time on HS lately, but I did notice that nobody was making use of all the totem-centric cards that popped up in SoU.

Overlooked the fact that you can use totems as card draw engines and lackey generators. Whooops.
its 1 mana cheaper and spawns the most aggressive totem stats, not that bad. There were many situations where 3 mana sould of the murloc would be unplayable (aka. talismans), while 2 mana one was just okay.
@@mishil8187 sure, but you will have no mana to deal with opponents minion or make another totem or two before the cast etc. And full board of 1/1 for shaman with bloodlust is kinda okay-ish, while board of 4-5 totems might do same damage, but with additional card required.
Sergio Macias not THIS deck. But totem shamman in general. Like when totemic surge and other cards that are now wild were in standard before. Every standard I use totems
yeah. but in order to get to legend rank from rank5, using totem shaman isn't good enough hence it wasn't regarded as top tier deck. but it's a fun deck tho
@@danielmaster8776 You are kinda out of date ;p Token druid at arena was the way to play before this expansion... now you win with big druid. Token druid builds are reason why druid is at the bottom :)
I dunno if a 50% win rate with an unknown deck is that great. Any functional deck that’s unknown is gonna do much better than it would if it was popular.
Not really, it’s one of the core cards of this deck. 6 mana 4/6 get ~3 good spells can not be replaced. Some options would be far sight, storm bringer, hagatha’s scheme or lightning bolt but all of those are significantly worse. edit: hench clan hag is probably the least worst replacement to get some more minion value.
Maybe it depends on how many it eats, is awful if you have Amalgam out, and if it conflicts with a Bloodlust/Splitting Axe turn where you'd want to be wide.

Totem shaman without flametoung totem
At 3 mana it's honestly not that great
Pieter Hellemans
Flametongue was actually pretty decent in my elemental shaman deck last expansion. Granted, now we have Vessina, but I think flametongue could be a reasonable inclusion over one of the bloodlusts. It makes splitting axe more of a versatile play, and it's better for small boards.
After the nerf it's unplayable.
@Mr. Gang Banger No it didn't.
For a board oriented class it doesn't come close to the level of crap Hunters can pull.

What about the 4 mana that makes the 1/1 amalgams
Simon B Hench-Clan Hag.
Too heavy
Did you consider adding the Hech-clan Hag? (4 mana 3/3; summon 2 mini Amalgams) It adds 2 additional totems/murlocs/mechs (for Zilliax) to your deck
17:55 NaviOOT has 9 mana here.
That was Tortolan for 8 mana into Box, into Nourish, gets the 50/50 right for 2 mana ramp, removes top three cards with Book of Specters, so Flare draws exactly Frost Nova, which he can play since he is at 3 mana now.

Ive been Totem Shaman since day 1. Welcome to the party everone else.
I applaud. Any thoughts on Kripp's version vs. your own?
Ah, another intellectual.
I bow, King
as a long time player who has tried to make totem shaman work , when I saw totemic surge I knew that I could finally make it work in wild
Big Bad voodoo into necrium vial, into frost nova, praise yogg
7 totems on board, double blodlast +2 attack 0 mana thing=70 damage. Ez pogchamp combo
Gotta get to 7 totems on board though
Anyone notice how Krip is always cheery in his intros, but then goes all Severus Snape for the gameplay...?
20:16 am i the only one who is thinking about the meme when Kripp is waiting for the box to end. xD
I want to see you play the Miracle Totem Shaman deck Dekkster made
0:23 Blizzard wants us to play Freeze Shaman. How bad could it be?
the biggest thing I learned from this is it took kripp several seconds of chat helping for him to realize 7+7>12
the one that didn't get nerfed prolly pally. quest or murlocs. they both work for me.

I think including electra would be a good choice for this deck
*gets lethal on board with 3 card combo*
"wheres the win condition"
Is Vessina worth the craft? I like Shaman a lot and would like to play Shaman decks
Nightmare Amalgam + Ziliax Magnetised to it + Splitting Axe
Been playing a totem shaman list for a couple weeks now and I'm at 30% but I think it they add 1 or 2 more supporting cards then this might be viable
First they bring back Holy Wrath, now Totem Shaman... god, what's next? Mill rogue?
Nice cut kripp, stay fresh brother
wow soul of the murloc instead of primal talismans. standart sucks

Maybe it depends on how many it eats, is awful if you have Amalgam out, and if it conflicts with a Bloodlust/Splitting Axe turn where you'd want to be wide.
It's awful, since the buffs get better the more minions you have, so it's better to go wide than tall, instead I'd use Hench Clan Hag.
