Galakrond Shaman Deck Strategy
When playing this deck, your aim is to smoothly curve out, making use of cheap minions like Sludge Slurper, Lackeys, and Totems to contest the board. The many Invoke cards will naturally summon Windswept Elementals to help control the board. This can be further compounded with cards like Dragon's Pack and Faceless Corruptor. Having constant access to tools to control the board will allow you to grind down your opponent with any of your minions that remain, with Galakrond, the Tempest providing a huge burst in tempo if needed.
Against Aggro, you should prioritise using and playing Invoke cards as the Windswept Elementals summoned will go a long way toward controlling the board. Should your health drop low, small amounts of healing can be gained from Kronx Dragonhoof and Galakrond, the Tempest.
Against Control, you should expect games to last longer and should prepare for this by trying to maximise the number of cards you gain from Barista Lynchen and Mana Tide Totem. You should also prioritise high-cost spells from any Ethereal Lackeys you get as cards like Eye of the Storm to greatly increase the value of your deck.
