Hey what can I replace 1 Feral Spirit with?  If i had to craft 1 of 2 cards should I make another Feral Spirit or another Doomhammer?

2nd Tuskar Totemic, 2nd Argent Squire or 2nd Argent Knowledge. But get Feral Spirit ASAP anyways.

Choosing either wolves or hammer to craft isn't really an equal trade, you're going to need both anyways. Craft the expensive one and you'll scrap some dust for a rare anyways.

this deck is pure theorycrafting. in current meta on ranked games people you usually play agaist in 3/4 of games are warriors, shamans or mages. as long as i play my trogg early game, it gets killed the next turn in 80% of cases making my whole build and idea of this deck useless. this deck was good maybe 1 week after 'discovering', now everyone know that they have to kill ur trogg instantly and it does. its really hard to break lower than rank 15 with this deck.

Face shaman is rather hard to play. You need to use your resources wisely and need to know when to go face and when to trade. When you are good in both "requirements", you will wreck your opponent very easily. The deck is very strong, and is considered to be in the top 5 decks in current meta, and is ranked as #2 by tempostorm in their last meta snapshot.

I'm 21-6 in ranked so far this season, running this deck. I'd say it works just fine. Like positiv2 said, it's crucial to know when to control the board and when to push damage, you need to be very aware of the reach you have.

I've recently switched to Aggro Shaman and have been using this list, not sure where it's from but I remember it was posted before Spirit Claws came about.

It's been working pretty well for me thus far going 20 wins to 1 loss from rank 10 to rank 4.

Yet despite this decks good results on ladder, I feel like I'm still playing a sub-optimal decklists becuase I'm not running spirit claws which are widely perceived to be super good on Shaman.

Is the aggro shaman list with spirit claws actually strictly better with the list I'm running at the moment?

Also when is the aggro shaman list here being updated?

...and when I sit down to play suboptimal and outdated decks, I am punished by the new technology in any way possible... I guess that's just my scrub karma for playing 8 hours a day.

Here is the updated list, the new stock. It's a better deck, in fact, because you can interact better, your grinding options are still there and early game damage-pushing potential is not going anywhere.
