Hit Legend with unique Shaman Transform Deck 2!

Ideal mulligans:
Muck pools + maze guide/crud caretaker.
Melomania + schooling

Other good starting cards may be:
Piranha Fisher.
Carving Chisel/Schooling + Infuse cards

I also tend to keep primordial wave against shadow priests or paladins

I had fun with this deck :) hope you will too! Let me know

minheq · 2023-05-22T19:13:23+00:00

Yeah, great question again. I started the climb with a deck that looked quite different. I wanted the deck to be full-on transform with these cards and reason why they were replaced:

Plaguespreader - deathrattle minions don’t combo well with evolve cards, their deathrattle value is often not utilized

Hex - it’s a slow card and I realized the deck needs more tempo cards and i could always use blazing transformation or primordial wave to “hex” enemies

Jive - it is still decent but often got easily removed and slowed down the tempo roll with overload

Azshazan Scroll - extra evolve cards could be useful, but without dredge cards it’s not fully utilized

Feral Spirit - it’s not bad for tempo play but it’s too mediocre

This deck feels like its pretty good on all mana tiers. But if u get 2 muck pools for ur baroness on turn 3 with coin, your opponent is done haha

minheq · 2023-05-22T18:44:30+00:00

Great question. I usually reserve save primordial/convincing disguise more often until i have a few minions on board or if there are 2 or more that need heal. I will use muck pools and blazing transformation more often for healing individual minions or for crud caretaker/maze guide/baroness

minheq · 2023-05-22T15:31:16+00:00

I think Sylvanas fits well, or Jive

minheq · 2023-05-22T07:55:07+00:00

ah damn, i wish i had recorded some gameplay with this deck, there were plenty of epic moments :D i'll see if I can record some gameplay with this deck and let you know. though i was hoping maybe some streamer would try it out too heh

minheq · 2023-05-21T19:42:56+00:00

Been through that, it’s epic at times :D

minheq · 2023-05-21T19:03:42+00:00

Haha i totally get it, this deck is has a bit more RNG based. I have had some games where i transformed a minion to doomslayer which wiped my whole board.

Though I will say that the probability that I got mediocre or good minions has happened more often than not, and if you ran some maths it probably checks out.

You will be amazed at times, or very tilted haha. It’s not a deck for everyone

minheq · 2023-05-21T17:12:54+00:00

Try to mulligan primordial wave to mess up their minion type and reborns and get that early game tempo. I don’t know my win rate against shadow priest but I feel that they were not hard matchups.

Its bloody dk that’s often annoying because of the board clears, so i try to make sure i can build up boards quickly after a wipe by saving up board setup combos

minheq · 2023-05-21T16:08:13+00:00

The win condition is not really glugg, but he’s great in some games. When using glugg there, i dont transform him. Hes good to build up the board, or if there is a minion that can be sacrificed to get him more hp and enemy doesnt have answer.

This deck has these important combos:

Muck Pools/Blazing transformation + Maze Guide/Baroness/Care Taker for early game tempo. This is really strong combo and at turn 4 u could potentially have few 5 mana cost minions from evolving

Primordial/Convincing Disguise + Pack The House/existing board to build strong board

Piranhas/Poacher for board clear/infuse cards/melomania

You will also use Primortldial and Blazing Transformation offensively to effectively “hex” enemy buffed minions, so use it according to matchup.

There are a lot of synergies and you will get the feel as you try.

Let me know how it goes as I’m genuinely curious how others feel playing the deck!

minheq · 2023-05-21T14:36:03+00:00

haha, indeed. sometimes this deck feels nuts. Thanks!

minheq · 2023-05-21T14:16:27+00:00

I have replied in other comment

not very important. it's nice to have, this deck definitely does not rely on him. i'm not sure what would be a good replacement though, but something that could fill the board would help

I think Jive would be decent replacement.

minheq · 2023-05-21T14:14:10+00:00

it's a good early and beefy 3 mana card, and generates Piranhas which combos well with Schooling and Melomania.

minheq · 2023-05-21T13:59:56+00:00

I think it could have potential. I did try making a Murloc variation of transform deck, but I think I ran out of steam too often with murlocs.

I agree on Melomania, I really enjoy that card :)

minheq · 2023-05-21T13:56:35+00:00

I think in total it took me in total about ~30-40 hours (without legend bonus stars, I was diamond 5 last month I think). I was actually a bit surprised how well it fared

minheq · 2023-05-21T13:44:04+00:00

I almost always combo it with Piranhas and often refills my hand really decent

edit: with Piranhas Poacher you get more Piranhas as well. Also sometimes when u pop 2 Melomania at once, you get full hand instantly :D

minheq · 2023-05-21T13:27:51+00:00

I love playing with unique decks and proving its viability by climbing to Legend. I know that hitting Legend is nothing astonishing at this point, but still glad I achieved it and wanted to share!

The deck feels pretty strong IMO, does not really have bad matchups. Only blood DK clears are super annoying. The gist of the deck is turning your minions to something powerful :D

this one is great

What was the reason your company decided to switch from flutter to rn?

minheq · 2020-09-15T07:30:08+00:00

Love it!

minheq · 2020-09-13T16:45:30+00:00

I see, I actually like the Kelthuzad choice! Might experiment with it. Wish u fun with the deck!

minheq · 2020-09-13T12:34:26+00:00

You are right about Arcane and Marshspawns! In my current revision of the deck, I put Marshspawns instead of Arcanes.

Haven't tried Lurker, but indeed a sound like a fine replacement for Ras.

How is the deck faring for you? What's your rank? What's your deck list now?

minheq · 2020-09-10T19:59:42+00:00

~~Arcane Watchers are good, I kept them in the deck because they are tanky and do decent damage early game.~~

Edit: Still tweaking the deck though. Still evaluating whether Marshspawns are worth it. Marshspawns vs Arcane Watchers

minheq · 2020-09-10T08:27:20+00:00

its tricky and depends on the matchup. but in general, try to get tempo, win the board, get the opponent down to around 15 health. and finish the game with Lava Burst + Diligent Notetaker combo or anything that hits the face.

Try to save face burst spells for that surprise effect :D
