There's a ton of decision-making to this deck, which I think is really neat. If you go up against a Quest Shaman, you have no idea what to expect until the game goes on. Are they more aggro and just run a bunch of direct damage as their top end? Are they more value-oriented with Shudderwock? Somewhere in-between? Do you run any removal spells?

There are so many good Battlecries that even those archetypes don't cover all the decisions. Like, for example, I'm pretty sure I'm the only Shaman I've seen that runs Twilight Drake. I like it, though, because of the ridiculous amount of card generation the deck has. It's basically the only solid mid-game body in the entire deck, and it also helped set up one of my favorite moments I've had so far.

I was up against a Hunter who had two Unleash the Beasts on the board and I was sitting at 6 HP on Turn 9. I played my Shudderwock, which Lifedrinker'd my opponent twice, gave itself Rush and Windfury, taunted up my other minion from that new Lackey, and put itself up to 11 health from the Twilight Drake Battlecry. I was able to rush and kill both beasts, then transform it into a 10-drop from one of the Lackeys it generated for me, which gave me lethal for next turn.
