Hi Youngjeezy,

It sounds like you've had a lot of experience dualing with your mage and that you've found effective ways to counter strategies that a shaman might typically use.  I'm not experienced enough to intelligently critique your strategy(I've had virtually no experience with mages) and have no intention of doing so.  I'm simply interrested in learning more about the strengths, weaknesses and practical tactics involving shamans. 

So my question to you is what strategy would YOU use to counter a mage who knows what they're doing?
