you can combo them at a pretty good rate if you're playing two copies of The Illusionist, but I think you're diluting your deck too much. I have tried playing with one Illusionist but the combo is more dream than reality. in any case, Fool's Bane is really good even taking a ton of damage my opinion. so the easiest way to lose against Shaman is that you were forced to brawl because they spam the board and then they drop Thunder Bluff Valiant after the brawl... you need an answer to this immediately. Fool's Bane you take 8 damage to clear it but the mid-range decks usually don't have burst. The aggro Shaman aren't running Thunder Bluff Valiant in the first place. As control warrior the matchup against a more classically aggressive shaman is much easier to defeat then the spirit claw version. Don't really need a tech vs them other than Justicar, although I've decided to run Harrison because all I'm playing against is Shaman, Hunter, and other Warriors.
I would really prefer not to grind to Legend with control Warrior, just because I've done that a few times already. But I want to get there this month, so with time running out it might force my hand.
I can't believe that I steam rolled from Rank 3 to rank 1 with mid-range shaman and then fell back to rank 3 the next day, LOL. Whatever.
