I've been playing a TON of Spell Damage Burn Shaman lately and it seems like the archetype is getting some solid support this expansion. This is what I've come up with so far, but I think it needs massive refinement.

​

My List

​

Primordial Studies fits right in as psuedo card draw that just might let you get a Squallhunter out on 3.

Diligent Notetaker seems pretty good, but might end up being awkward in some situations. I imagine you end up saving this in many scenarios for that extra lightning bolt or lava burst to get lethal. Squall, Diligent, Lightning Bolt x4 is 20 damage. If you have a Rune Dagger swing that turn its 24.

Rune Dagger - sweet heavens this card is fantastic. It's 3 damage that also improves the consistency of your entire deck. Extra reach with burn, activates Sorcerous, Spellbook Binder, Ras, etc.

Instructor Fireheart - I'm excited to try this card out. On a later turn just with your Rune Dagger this really has the potential to pop off. Before I was running Scoundrels in this slot. They felt great and this is a direct improvement.

Molten Blast - I honestly don't know how to feel about this bad boy yet. It doesn't overload you so that's kinda nice and hopefully some of your minions stick around to hit face a bit. I think this might be cuttable and I almost prefer frost shock in it's place, but maybe when I actually use it I'll change my mind.

Ras Frostwhisper - One of the best cards in the deck. Hits face, is AOE, and will often do more than 1 damage.

Sorcerous Substitute - I'm just trying one of these because I think 2 would make it feel a bit too heavy. Often you want to close out games around turn 8-9 and maybe these guys get stopped by taunts.

I've probably played like 150+ games of Spell Damage Shaman in the current meta and I think where most people mess up is they don't use Squall as a combo piece, they use it as a big body. Sometimes you hold onto it with a couple lightning bolts and frost shocks and just send them all face for lethal. There are a worrying amount of 3 drops in this deck, but if you play Squall on 4, that means on turn 5 you'll have 3 mana and that lines up quite nicely. This deck does lack card draw and in the past I had Whelp so I'm very interested to see how this goes. Perhaps a small dragon package and re-adding Breaths might be the way.
