This deck is an attempt to make Ancestor's Call a viable card. I played it pre-TGT and it was quite fun but rather underperforming, but with the addition of Healing Wave, Ancestral Knowledge and Elemental Destruction it shoud become much more competitive.

Philosophy:

-in order to make [card] Ancestor's Call[/card] a consistent card there are no small minions and an abundance of big ones (8) - the idea is to be able to cast it as soon as possible, with no risk of it pulling an undervalued minion (no battle cry minion included as it won't trigger),

- best spells of shaman arsenal complete the deck, 

-no reliance on a combo, although pretty big combo potential is included,

-two Healing Waves allow to trade with Stormforged Axe and Doomhammer, the lowest cost mionion is 5 (average 7,25) so it usually will heal for 14,

-early rounds are removals, Stormforged Axe and Feral Spirits,

-mid rounds are Ancestor's Calls, [card]Doomhammer[/card], Earth Elementals and [card]Sylvanas Windrunner [/card](also good targets to be called),

-late rounds is strong legendaries' list, rivaled only by ctrl warriors.

As for legendaries included:

-Al'Akir the Windlord - immidiate effect on the board, combo potential,

-Foe Reaper 4000 - possibly monstrous if played early, huge stats and effect,

-Malygos - hard to remove, ultimate combo potential

-Ysera - hard to remove, immidiate value.

-Icehowl - immidiate effect, enormous stats, can be silenced with Earth Shock next round after play.

Notable mentions:

-Ragnaros the Firelord - even though his effect is immidiate it will usually pwn some random, early game, small minion,

-Emperor Thaurissan -for further ramping, possible replacement for Sylvanas Windrunner, but usually he won't discount too many cards,

-Mekgineer Thermaplugg- combo potential with removals,

-Sneed's Old Shredder - trades well if played early, leaves another legendary.
