Totem Shaman

Totem Shaman is one of the most interesting decks on this list. It costs 2000 dust and can be crafted by most free-to-play players. It can surprise many players with its effectiveness.

What’s fun about this deck:

• It uses one of the weakest minion tribes in the game-totems to win games and OTK opponents
• It can generate a lot of tempo through cards like Splitting Axe and Serpentshrine Portal
• It can build wide board and buff all of its minions for a low mana cost

How to play this deck effectively:

• Mulligan for Blazing Battlemage, Surging Tempest and EVIL Totem
• Try to duplicate Mana Tide Totem, Flametongue Totem and EVIL Totem with Splitting Axe and Serpentshrine Portal because these are your strongest totems
• You can include Bloodlust in the deck to make it easier to OTK opponents when you manage to build a wide board
• If you are going second and have EVIL Totem in hand coin it out as most decks cannot deal with it in the early game and it will generate you a lot of value
• Including Sludge Slurper and Magic Carpet will slightly up the cost of the deck but are worth it if you have 1000 extra dust

• # 2x (0) Totemic Surge
• # 2x (0) Totemic Might
• # 2x (1) Surging Tempest
• # 2x (1) Storm's Wrath
