Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
New deck I built, haven't yet playtested it against other current meta decks (Fallenstar control, Bloodtusk discard, Survival Hunter) but I like how quick it is. Essentially, it's Untargetable Rush/Myriam burn. Give me your suggestions please, contructive criticism is appreciated.
Hero: Memri the Channeler
Abilities: 28 2 Totemic Call (for all abilities but Air totem bonus :P) 3 Frost Shock (IDK what for...) 2 Healing Wave 2 Healing Stream Totem (To keep up Porto/Miriam) 2 Mana Spring Totem 2 Elemental Focus 3 Searing Totem (For Anti-Antikron, Chipper) 2 Grace of Air Totem (To slow down other Rush) 2 Lightning Storm 3 Sentry Totem (Coupled with Earthbind Totem to slow rush) 3 Earthbind Totem 2 Chain Lightning
Allies: 18 4 Apprentice Merry 3 Jeleane Nightbreeze 3 Antikron the Unyeielding 4 Porto 4 Myriam Starcaller
Quests: 15 3 Chasing A-Me (In case Myriam gets owned) 4 Dragonkin Menace (To activate Myriam during my opponent's turn) 4 Finkle Einhorn, At Your Service! (For Porto, Antikron, or possibly the right Totem) 4 Against the Legion (Possibly subbing out for Orders from Lady Vashj)
A few cards that I would really like to make room for, but can't find the space: Earth Shock Runesong Dagger Totem of Wrath

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
a few notes from my experience with Alliance Shaman:
~Frost Shock is good vs hero attackers, and as additional insurance vs troublesome opposing protectors like Antikron. ~I don't know which of your totems are Earth, Wind, etc, but you might want to consider Stoneclaw Totem as added insurance to slow attackers. Maybe sidedeck material if you're confident in how things are working for you. ~I don't see a lot of card draw. Getting more draw in your deck will make you less susceptible to discard tactics. ~You've got a lot of 2x and 3x of cards. When you test, I'd recommend going for 4x of fewer card types so you know what combos are working, and which aren't. Paying 1 less for elemental cards won't help you if you have no cards in your hand. So for example, you may want to drop Elemental Focus for 2x more Mana Spring Totems.

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
Erm...u play alliance and don't play Rescue the survivors...u play rescue the survivors but u don't play defiace brotherhood...that's like nonesense
just some advise,never trust to totems,they blow u'r in trouble
2 Totemic Call
2 Healing Stream Totem
2 Elemental Focus
3 Earthbind Totem
3 Sentry Totem
this cards do nothing,don't use em totemic call is crap i wanna see ur face drawing totemic call on turn 6 with 0 totems on the table(who will let u keep em!?).
Replace this to stoneclaw or earth elemental,1 more searing put some kulvos etc
And try to play in 3-4 copys of cards not in a lot of 2 random different crap

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
Rescue the Survivors, I can see myself playing, but currently I have 0 copies of the card. Once I get them, I have a feeling I will be swapping it in for Finkle Einhorn...
The thing is, the decklists I have seen for Myriam-based burn are much more defensive based, while I tried to turn to a more aggressive style of the deck, with the untargetable allies, making the totems untargetable, etc. etc. I think swapping in Stoneclaw totem for Earthbind and Sentry totems will help, so here goes Version 1.2 of the deck:
Hero: Memri the Channeler
Abilities: 24 3 Frost Shock (IDK what for...) 2 Healing Wave 2 Healing Stream Totem (To keep up Porto/Miriam) 3 Mana Spring Totem 4 Searing Totem (For Anti-Antikron, Chipper) 2 Grace of Air Totem (To slow down other Rush) 2 Lightning Storm ADDED 4 Stoneclaw Totem, 2 Purge, 1 Mana Spring Totem, 1 Searing Totem REMOVED 2 Totemic Call, 2 Chain Lightning, 2 Elemental Focus
Allies: 22 4 Apprentice Merry 3 Jeleane Nightbreeze 3 Antikron the Unyeielding 4 Porto 4 Myriam Starcaller ADDED 4 Vindicator Kaldel
Quests: 15 3 Chasing A-Me 4 Dragonkin Menace 4 Finkle Einhorn, At Your Service! 4 Orders from Lady Vashj
I want to find something (that I have) That's worth putting in place of the Elemental Focus. Possibly Totem of Wrath? Or another Searing Totem and another Mana Spring Totem?

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
I'd say replace Elemental Focus with either 2 Totem of Wrath or 1 Searing Totem and 1 Frost Shock.
Current Deck Ideas: Assassination Rogue Resource Destruction, Protection Paladin Control, Horde Hunter Rush, Alliance Portal Rip, Holy Priest Midrange, Enhancement Shaman Beatdown.

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
So in place of 2 Elemental Focus, I decided to go with 1 Searing Totem and 1 Mana Spring Totem, raising their counts to 4 and 3, respectively. Another card that I'm seeing as somewhat dead in the deck is now Healing Stream Totem. Maybe it's time to swap it out with Totem of Wrath or Earth Shock?
Also, seeing how helpful a turn 2 Grace of Air Totem may be, I may be interested in main boarding another 2, if not at least Side decking them against another rush deck.

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
I'd say swap the Healing Stream Totems for Grace of Air Totems.
Maybe sidedeck Totem of Wrath for when you really need to deal damage quick?

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
Okay, so I have now tested the deck against Omedus discard/Shadow Weaving, and to my surprise, I wiped the floor with it, taking at most 5 damage in a single game. I did decide that Finkle Einhorn and Healing Stream totem were much too slow, so I switched them out for 3 Information Gathering, 2 Earth Shock, and 1 more Chasing A-Me.
Also against Solo Warrior I did very well, but was kind of disappointed in Grace of Air Totem, being that it only affects allies with its "pay 1" deal, so I have decided to keep 2 in the main, and put 2 on the Sideboard. I am thinking that I will need some means of equipment destruction, but I can't find space for Chipper. Maybe I will just sideboard 4 of him in against Solo Rogue or Warrior for Grace of Air Totem.
So here we are, Version 1.3 of the deck:
Abilities: 24 3 Frost Shock 2 Healing Wave 3 Mana Spring Totem 4 Searing Totem 2 Grace of Air Totem 2 Lightning Storm 4 Stoneclaw Totem 2 Purge 2 Earth Shock
Allies: 22 4 Apprentice Merry 3 Jeleane Nightbreeze 3 Antikron the Unyeielding 4 Porto 4 Myriam Starcaller 4 Vindicator Kaldel
Quests: 15 4 Chasing A-Me 4 Dragonkin Menace 4 Orders from Lady Vashj 3 Information Gathering
Sideboard: 2 Grace of Air Totem 2 Chain Lightning 4 "Chipper" Ironbane (and I need a good suggestion for 2 more Sidedeck cards, was thinking either Earth Shock against heavy control, or Totem of Wrath.)
Thanks again to everyone for all their help.

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
'Kay, so I have figured out the side deck. Expecting at least a couple of mirror match-ups again untargetable rush and/or Myriam burn at the next Realm Qualifier, I have decided 4 Fire Nova totem will be key in on the sideboard. Swapping them out for Lightning Storm and 2 Searing Totem will be great for blowing up their untargetable allies.
So, the side deck looks like: 4 Fire Nova Totem 4 Chipper 2 Grace of Air Totem.
I'm now quite confident in this deck. Anyone have any other suggestions to make?

Re: Memri the Channeler, Myriam burn.
The Untargetables are for early game damage, until turn 4 or turn 5 when Myriam comes into play. If they have protectors before this point, I don't really sweat it. Myriam does her job just fine.
Soo... To answer your question... Antikron, Stoneclaw Totem, and Myriam (with Dragonkin Menace/Vin. Kaldel.)
