First problem of Midrange Shaman on the way to the legend – another Midrange Shaman
While some are looking for the keys to victory over Midrange Shamans with varying degrees of success (for example, using the Freeze Mage and Control Warrior), others just take the strongest deck on ladder and show good results. However, they are not always good, because in addition to a strong deck for success in the ladder you need experience, understanding of the game situation and your deck. Some players just do not understand Midrange Shaman deck, especially when it comes to a mirror match-up.

It is also much more important card advantage, and therefore profitable exchanges – the basis of your game strategy.
Usually the winner is those Midrange Shaman, who has shown more patience, endurance and understanding of the match-up. Sometimes you will have to just use your hero power several moves in a row without drawing cards until you do not have air Totem of Wind Wrath, by which you will be able to clean up the table and put your cheap creatures, for example, something from the depths.
Harrison Jones – the most important card in this matchup, as a player with a lot of cards in his hand there will be more options and chances to find an AoE effect in time. Therefore, you should not use Ghost claws just before the moment when you can not kill a creature using them. Without fear you can play Ghost claws until the fifth turn and at the stage when the opponent is close to exhaustion.
