Shaman in wild mode sucks!
I’m going to build a mage secret deck, because there isn’t a shaman deck that can beat a mage secret deck! I really wanted to be a shaman legend in wild mode but it’s impossible, I have everything shaman and I don’t have a deck that works against mage secret, IT’S UNFAIR!
When I get to legendary, using a secret deck, I will demand that they block the wild mode shaman class!!
The new trick for shaman is to play these three cards “ice fishing+flurgl+toxfin”
Checkout this deck, its Chinese style legend deck:

I just lost one with this deck, but I found the composition interesting! Secret Mage, has a lot of easy card draw and a lot of damage in the opponent’s face! From diamond 5 onwards there is only secret mage! I give up the shaman, I’m going to build a magician secret deck, when I’m a legend I’m going to enforce the banishment of the shaman class from wild mode! Because it’s weak and doesn’t work! There is no strong deck against it! (I look at 4 deck building sites, so I’m always up to date! I’ve already built this deck but haven’t tested it in-game… and lose now against a secret deck! Slutty!! You take your entire card library of the shaman and does not yield an efficient deck against secret mage! Who is the game designer of the class??)
good combo, but not enough to win a game
shadderwock reno with secret tech isn’t enough win against secret mage?
Murloc shaman does not suck, it bites. A version of that deck got me to platinum in wild for the first time. If a deck can make up for my lack of skill that much, it’s probably good.
You don’t play shaman and you don’t know how unfair it is! This shadderwock deck reno, I made my version and it was very strong and with it I got from bronze to diamond 10, here in this level it doesn’t run anymore! A Murloc deck made me reach diamond 5, I won 10 games in a row, I was even amazed! But I hadn’t faced any secret mage, now that I’m at diamond 5, every mage is a secret mage!
Shaman, Hunter, Warrior, those 3 for sure, and Druid i believe.
We have 0 disruption towards hand/deck.
Neutrals only.
This why our classes at first suck.
Druid’s have insane draw / with armor so they can combo, way faster than a shaman.
So Druid’s are “ok” bc they can combo to make up for them not disrupting.
Shaman’s are “barely ok” bc they can combo but slower than druid.
Hunter and Warrior are like what’s endgame? Hunter’s like what’s aggro at this pt.
I mean that’s wild.
Paladins barely have disruption if it wasn’t for OmYogg they’d have 0 shot at not-aggro.
Shaman would be absolutely S-tier if it had disruption / better draw / a way to copy shudder in hand so it wouldn’t be rat-vulnerable / a way to steal illucia from any priests out there.
Shudder would limit the class insanely hard if they balanced wild, just saying they’d have to make sure shudder isn’t fast combo bc it would be game over if you could survive well until 10 or play shudder on 6-7 consistently.
I love shaman, it’s the class about board positioning and randomness through totems and big brain things, that sadly are irrelevant in wild bc lack of balance so all those shaman things (and old zoo things like discard odds and draw odds and such) are out the window to powercreep, so the formats only about combo assembly vs disruption / aggro.
imagine if shaman had their own version of dirty rat or so, or cheaper loatheb, or 1 very strong disruption card shaman only? O man shudder would go up like 10 percent win rate or something. if shaman got faster draw non battlecry too it would up shamans game or better survival like armor. its a bit sad tho that shaman is so shudder heavy, like its no different than hunter having phase stalker and that’s it.
So I’m not that great, I used to play and recently came back so I don’t have a lot of new cards. I decided to play wild ladder so I could try to get some packs every month. I decided to try Murloc shaman. Last month I went from bronze 10 to gold 8 and then got stuck there when season ran out. In July I’m already to Gold 4 with Murdock shaman. Maybe it won’t work anymore when I get further. But for me the trick is to use the quest Unite the Murlocs, Flurgl + toxfin, and Underbelly angler. You need a few spells to cheat out the secrets. You won’t run out of minions unless you get horrible card draw. I think it’s a pretty fun Deck. I’m going to craft Gentle Megasaur. I mean you should be able to kill them before you ever even complete the quest but in case you can’t it’s a backup hand refill. Draw 9 cards that all have synergy? It’s perfect mid-game if you are down.
By the time I get further up the ladder though I may be complaining like you so I guess we will see. Flurgl is pretty OP you just have to have something saved in hand to play immediately upon revealing their secrets. Before they load up more. Anyway just my thoughts but like I said not super experienced
My current deck: ### murloc shaman21

I think the problem is the shaman class game designer, if they kicked him out of the company and put the paladin class game designer to make the shaman cards it was SUCCESS!!
Play a different class. You have access to many. Many different avenues to play them in. Focusing on one classic in one mode of a huge game… not rational.
I found a very efficient solution with the warlock class, very efficient against secret mage deck:
