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

Spell Druid

Spell Druid is the only non-aggressive deck on this list. Its game plan is to summon lots of small minions to overwhelm its opponent.

What’s fun about this deck:

It can easily OTK opponents
It can play expensive spells for 0 mana with the help of Kael'thas Sunstrider

How to play this deck effectively:

Mulligan for Wild Growth, Overgrowth, Glowfly Swarm and Fungal Fortunes
Try to ramp as fast as possible. Reaching 7 mana crystals is very important for this deck as it makes Ironbark and Bogbeam cost 0 mana, which helps with combos with Kael'thas Sunstrider and Exotic Mountseller
If you think that your opponent will be able to use a board-clear after you play Glowfly Swarm use Soul of the Forest to protect your minions and OTK your opponent the next turn
Try to reduce the cost of spells such as Gift of the Wild and Overflow with Kael'thas Sunstrider because this will give you lots of tempo or value and will win you the game in most cases

Cards:
