Wouldn’t replacing Rasha’s with Thunderclap and I guess Shroud with Blood of Air (after the expansion, obvs) make this pretty… nice?
Fun with Sajj - Bloodfire Totem Deck

Noooooooo…
I managed something almost as bad in an actual ladder game some time ago.

Yup! Exactly why I reposted this, it seems like a fun subarchetype and both thunderclap and blood of air would be an upgrade. I intend to try it out, and then, if it becomes kinda popular, both me and @ancientmage get credit for coming up with it!
(I’d actually replace the entropic with BoA)

Okay I can’t wait to see this on ladder (or if I have enough dust for all dem expensive artis, play it!)
Once the expo drops (or even now if you want) I don’t mind playing a friendly or two with you so you can see the deck in action!

I’m disappointed not drawing any of my Darkfire Sacrifice to deal with those pesky Bloodfire Totem, usually it’s a pure joy

That is one hella ballsy deck. It’s like Obelysk Sajj with Artifact Finishers

Hey, as long as it works, right? It got me to gold 9 (which is currently my highest because I’m a scrub)
Oh, and depending on how I feel sometimes I throw out Spark and throw in Stone to Spears and/or remove one each of Pax and Ethereal for a pair of Shrouds.
Because sometimes it makes the voices quiet down
I’m on a 6 game win streak in gold 9 right now lol. I’ve won with this deck in Diamond, best feeling ever. (Almost as good as the time my Replacetruvian deck pinged off 2 Arclytes vs Tempo Argeon)

So I want to use spinecleaver and thunder clap in the same deck but I’ve come to a sobering realization. So at first glance it looks good kill the enemy summon a blood totrm in its place and a copy of it near you… But what happens when they play a minion behind the blood totem… To u kill that blood totem your gonna summon a blood totem next to you and that suckered yours.
True, yeah… welp. I guess we can’t do that now lol
Or only use Thunderclap in melee range.
Either way, I was gonna look into resurrecting SaboSajj with Thunderclap.

I ran a highly similar deck but that was a bit outdated. I stomped my way through the ladder till Diamond during the Shim’zar period (but anything could happen below Diamond so my opinion may not weigh as much as yours).
I have 1~2 Repulsor Beast, Saberspine Tiger and a 1-off Bone Swarm. Pulsor sets up good Ankh hits, Tiger takes care of troublesome low-cost high-priority targets like Obelisks, Kobeholder, Heartseeker .etc, and Bone Swarm is a nice little surprise to mess up with Reva and artifact holders. Oh and you desperately need Scorn for the 1 damage pings.
I use Lightbender instead of Shroud. Lightbender could backfire, but that’s very rare for myself. On the other hand, Lightbender is more potent as it packs a stronger body and an AOE (as opposed to single target) Dispel, so it wrecks Cassy, Songhai, Lyonar & Vets.
Also, I like Silhouette Tracer over Incinera because 1. Tracer is 1 mana cheaper; 2. Tracer has 1+ range over Incinera; 3. you have greater degree of freedom and versatility with Tracer (get yourself out of Provoke range; teleport after attack); 4. the minions in the deck is so weak that I can’t afford a backline value generator (Kelaino, Incinera, Zephyr and likewise) and 5. most of the time, I only need the increased mobility for 1 turn only, so no need to get Incinera over Tracer.
I include quite an amount of “casual” minions, like Azure Herald and Primus Fist, to end my games quicker. My 2-drop list is: 2 Pax, 2 Fists, and 2:3 Mystic-Herald (or the other way around, can’t remember too well). Herald is actually terrific with First Wish, as you get a 5 health body.
I didn’t run decay nor CoD. Decay is too clunky, and CoD is too slow. I didn’t run Rasha’s because there wasn’t much artifacts in the meta when I was active in this game, and Bone Swarm is kinda a replacement for Rashas. Maybe the current state of the game is slow enough for CoD, and there are enough artifacts to justify Rasha’s.
I’d shave of 1 dispel, 1 Pax, 1+ Rasha’s ,and maaaybe 1 Zephyr and 1 mobility (not sure about the latter two), but that’s just personal preference. You can fill in the remaining spaces with staple minions like Azure Herald, Scorn, or Dancing Blades .etc. Bringing in some 1-off surprises (Nimbus and Bone Swarm for me) actually worked quite well for me.
Oh and also CARD DRAW. I used to run L’Kian only because I had no other options. L’Kian is clunky because you can’t play her when you have a fulll hand, and you won’t draw into her when you are running out of steam. Now that I’ve crafted Spelljammer, but I can’t really say Jammer is superior because Jammer doesn’t draw as “fast” as L’Kian. I don’t like Sojourner because I don’t want to bear the risk of getting my card draw cucked by dispels, but still, you can go Stalin style (running so many dispel-demanding targets that your opponent runs out of dispels) with Soj. Lastly, Divine Spark/ Astral Flood in 2017 LUL
Again I’m only a mid-low Diamond dwelling skrub AND I’m not too up-to-date with the current (post RotB) meta, so my opinion may not worth much.

Nice deck there Phayze, it is a meme deck after all 
. I climbed to diamond last season with a similar meme deck except I was extra greedy with incinera and used autarch’s gifts instead of spinecleaver (how many times I wished I had spinecleaver instead). Glad to see I’m not the only person who appreciates Nosh-Rak doubling the totem’s damage.
