I want to find a way to fit bloodlust in the deck, would make a nice finisher.  Maybe in place of devolve, i haven't used it yet in several games (10+), but it feels like a safety net that i hesitate to lose

If you feel like you need Bloodlust, then you probably don't need Devolve. And it's not like you can't revert the change later if it doesn't work out well for you.

Any advice on how to play this deck vs quest warrior? Maybe it's just a bad matchup, but I lose every time.

Quest Warrior should generally be a good matchup.  Generally you just want to focus on having a strong curve of midrange minions which warriors will typically struggle with.  Servant of Kalimos is also key as it allows you to flexibly pick minions for the situation, generally you will be wanting powerful minions like Blazecaller that can simultaneously remove an opposing minion and put a strong threat on the board.  Even if your opponent manages to get sulfuras, you will still be in a strong position as your hero power effectively counters them, allowing you to flood the board with totems to bait the Ragnaros shots

What are your thoughts on adding in Dirty Rat? The combo with hex is the only solid defense that I can think of against Quest rouge/mage. I just lose so many games against quest rougue, and this deck just isn't fast enough to counter them. I also don't have access to patches so I don't run any of the pirates you recommend, which could absolutely make a difference if I was able to add them in (I'm running two blazecallers and a jade spirit instead). I do have Dirty Rat though.

Dirty Rat goes against the goal of the deck, which is board domination. Dirty Rat is a hit-or-miss card, which is something you cannot afford as a midrange deck.
You can run more jades, such as Jade Spirit, or more elemental cards, such as Stone Sentinel, if you do not have Patches the Pirate.

The deck is not bad, but hasn't received much help this expansion. Luckily the meta so far is favourable for ele mid shaman, but time will tell.

We will rename the threads once we are done with conversion to the new archetype system.

Have made some changes on the suggested deck due to lack of some cards and tried it  with fair results (70% win rate).Do you think it might be used to climb up the ladder?I actually feel quite confident with a deck after trying a few of them!Any suggestion is well accepted!

The best way to find out is to try. I have been playing midrange elemental shaman today on NA and can say that the archetype is still strong. As for your deck, it should be fine. I would swap out Kobold Geomancer for Bloodmage Thalnos, but other than that it looks good.

I am wondering whether the pirate package really works in this deck? Without that many weapons, you wont get charge on your southsea deckhand, while patches wont be drawn out of your deck consistently with only two pirates. Moreover, I already switched out the two lightning bolts for two Jade Spirits, to get some more jades out, but I believe I lack some way of early clearing.


Therefore, my question is whether it would be a good idea to drop the pirate package, and add two strong one drops (mistress of mixture for example) and 1 lightening bolt instead. Do you think that would work, or am I missing something?

It could work. I prefer running the pirates for stronger early game presence, but if you feel that you need more reactive cards than proactive, go ahead. I would not use Mistress of Mixtures though, as they do not fit that much into midrange deck such as this one.

I strongly feel like the deck doesn't have anywhere near enough card draw

Shamans are a class with weak card draw overall. With the departure of Azure Drake and Ancestral Knowledge in the last rotation, the only strong draw I can think of is Mana Tide Totem, which sadly requires you to be ahead to draw more than one card. You can try adding Bloodmage Thalnos though.

I think shaman got by far the worst cards in KFT. a lot of freeze stuff that does not make up any good deck.

The only 2 cards I think which are good are Snowfury Giant if you play an Overload deck and Thrall, Deathseer for an Evolve deck, KFT offers nearly nothing for shaman at all and totally nothing for midrange shaman, maybe Bonemare and Tainted Zealot (if you don't have Bloodmage Thalnos and don't want to use Kobold Geomancer) but that's it, I guess.

Yes, I got that feeling too, especially if you compare with cards such as Frostlich Jaina. I think it massively overpowered, since it simultaneously gives armor, summons an elemental and allows the mage to easily create even more elementals throughout the rest of the match. I can't think of a proper counter to it, and this midrange deck is easily prey to it.

So would this deck get updated soon for the new expansion? I'm interested to see anything new.

      Hearthstone is taking a bold step into the StarCraft universe with "Heroes of StarCraft: The Great Dark Beyond," a 49-card mini-set launching in January 2025.
      Featuring iconic factions like Zerg, Protoss, and Terran, complete with legendary leaders Sarah Kerrigan, Artanis, Jim Raynor, this set blends StarCraft nostalgia with Hearthstone's gameplay.
      Additionally, Arena Mode is getting a massive overhaul, introducing shorter Normal Arena runs and a high-stakes Underground Arena with a game matching "re-draft on loss" mechanic, giving you the option to re-draft cards, edit your deck, and keep your run alive, after you lose.
      The year ahead promises 3 expansions, including the Emerald Dream's battle between Old Gods and Druids, a return to Un'Goro Crater, and a Chromie-led journey through alternate realities.

      Hearthstone: Heroes of StarCraft – The Great Dark Beyond Mini-Set  
      Early next year, Hearthstone is going beyond Warcraft and into... Heroes of StarCraft! This special Mini-Set will have a whopping 49 new cards across three themed factions, which show what the StarCraft universe would look like in the Hearthstone Tavern. Each faction is made up of cards that can be used across multiple classes, including an iconic Hero card. 
       Zerg 
      Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, and Warlock have joined the Zerg! Led by the formidable  Sarah Kerrigan, they will have aggressive cards that win the game by swarming the board. 
       Protoss 
      Druid, Mage, Priest, and Rogue fight for the Protoss Empire. Led by the High Templar Artanis, they will have powerful, high-cost cards that are made cheaper throughout the game. 
       Terran 
      Paladin, Shaman, and Warrior make up the Terran forces, led by the one and only Jim Raynor. They will command Battlecruisers—a special take on the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond. 
      The Mini-Set will feature a slew of StarCraft units which are sure to invoke nostalgia, as well as the Terran-armored Murloc, Grunty, and new, thematic music. You can chart a course for the Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, launching in January 2025! More announcements, details, and card reveals are coming closer to launch. 
       Major Arena Updates 
      Then, for the first time in 10 years, Arena Mode is getting a major overhaul. With that update, there will be two kinds of Arena to choose from. Normal Arena will be shorter form, allowing you to complete your runs more quickly. Competitive Arena players will be able to play in the higher-stakes Underground Arena, with longer runs and a new feature: Re-Draft on Loss. Re-Draft on Loss means that, after you lose, you’ll have the option to re-draft cards, edit your deck, and keep your run alive. 
      Ratings will also be added to both Normal and Underground Arena. Normal, skill-based matchmaking will be used for Normal Arena. Underground Arena throws caution to the wind and lets you face off against opponents of all skill levels. 
      This major Arena revamp is coming in the first half of next year. Look out for more details about this update closer to when it goes live. 
      A Preview of the Year Ahead: The Year of the Raptor!
      On top of those updates, Hearthstone has an exciting year of expansions ahead, with much-requested themes, locations, and familiar faces across Azeroth. 
      In the first expansion of the year, enter the Emerald Dream and join the battle between the Old Gods and the Druids of the Emerald Dream for the fate of the World Tree. Things will heat up even more when the Druids of the Flame light up the Mini-Set (releasing earlier than normal this year, during the 32.2 Patch). 
      The second expansion of the year will be Hearthstone’s first-ever sequel: the return to Un’Goro Crater! Join Elise on a hunt for a mythical, lost Tortollan city. When you find it, join the Tortollans in a festival to celebrate the mighty dinosaurs of the crater in the 33.4 Mini-Set. 
      In the third expansion of the year, travel with Chromie through alternate realities to recruit Legendary Warcraft heroes like you’ve never seen them before. Leading to the 34.4 Mini-Set: an epic showdown against Murozond at the end of time!
