Hi fellow Shaman players,
As you all know, Priest is one of the worst matchups we can possibly face, and they are coming back into the meta because of the rise of Hunters. Priests have plenty of removal, but the most troublesome thing is Thoughtsteal (and to a lesser extent, Mind Vision), because it can ruin our games pretty hard if they get lucky and hit our Lightning Storms, Hexes or big finishers of choice. Here is why I present you the Anti-Thoughtsteal deck.
rohogok
Minion (24)
1x King Mukla
1x Lorewalker Cho
1x Millhouse Manastorm
1x Captain's Parrot
1x Doomsayer
2x Alarm-o-Bot
2x Ancient Watcher
2x Angry Chicken
2x Arcane Golem
1x Bloodsail Corsair
2x Coldlight Oracle
1x Dust Devil
1x Venture Co. Mercenary
2x Wisp
2x Goldshire Footman
2x Magma Rager
Ability (6)
2x Far Sight
2x Totemic Might
2x Ancestral Healing
A quick runthrough of the card choices;
King Mukla, Arcane Golem, Coldlight Oracle: the deck's core. They all give you an advantage when stolen (either bananas, mana crystals, or cards), and as such they are your most powerful assets against Priests. Lorewalker Cho is also great, since he affects both players but benefits you the most.
Ancient Watcher, Wisp, Angry Chicken, the pirates package, and all other minions and spells: these allegedly bad cards are also excellent targets for Thoughtsteal, as you can easily deal with them.
Millhouse Manastorm is one of the best cards for Thoughtsteal to steal. Makes our Totemic Might and Ancestral Healing free (profit!). He also has 4 power if you play it against Priests, so he's very hard to deal with.
Venture Co. Mercenary makes THEIR minions cost more when stolen. Sick tempo advantage. Only one copy, because you don't want to pay six mana for your Wisps.
Ancient Watcher and Ancestral Healing is one OP combo to deal with boring Hunter decks. Cheap Taunt minions also get the job done pretty easily.
There are no weapons in the deck, because Thoughtsteal can get our Bloodsail Corsair and pwn us, and everybody is playing Oozes these days.
