The only deck we have seen from Frodan's lineup in Seatstory V. He sweeped both Strifecro and Current World-Champion Ostkaka 3-0 with this deck only.
Creatively named 'BogChamp' as in the words of Frodan himself "You have to yell BOGCHAMP when you throw down a Bog Creeper!"
The deck has an interesting playstyle and was designed to hard counter Yogg Druid and Aggro Shaman in the Seatstory V cup, which so far, it has not failed to do so. Typically you will win the game due to having plenty of shaman's incredible removal such as Elemental Destruction & Stormcrack and exhausting your opponent with the insane value of cards like Bog Creeper, Earth Elemental, Thing from Below & Cairne Bloodhoof especially when combined with the brilliant effect of Ancestral Spirit & Faceless Manipulator. You also do not lack in the healing department with Healing Wave & Hallazeal the Ascended.
Combo ratings:
Earth Elemental or Thing from Below or Bog Creeper + Ancestral Spirit:
- Excellent Vs. Aggro and Zoo due to silence being at an all time low causing these types of decks to throw their burn / board into just 1 minion.
- Decent Vs. Control and Midrange due to creating a strong board presence that is hard for most classes to deal with. Priest being an exception to this rule.
Cairne Bloodhoof + Ancestral Spirit:
- Decent Vs. Aggro and Zoo, Since by this point in the game if you are alive with cards to spare, you are in a great position Vs. Aggro and against zoo this is a really tricky piece to take board control from as killing it results in Baine Bloodhoof being summoned and Cairne Bloodhoof returning, a sort of Matryoshka doll effect...
- Excellent Vs. Control & Midrange since again it is a strong, super sticky combo that most classes lack the tools to deal with in 1 turn. Again priest being an exception to this due to Entomb
Either of the above combos + 2nd Ancestral Spirit:
All around incredible vs any type of deck if you pull this off since it such an insane sequence to pull off. Again, not as good vs priest due to Ent-- ResidenSleeper
Either of the above combos + Faceless Manipulator
Vs. Aggro and Zoo you are literally never in a bad place (unless already dead) if you pull this off on one of the taunt creatures as you start to create the ultimate Matryoshka Doll of taunts
Vs. Control & Midrange you are literally never in a bad place regardless of using it on a taunt or Cairne Bloodhoof AND It's actually effective Vs. Priest since unless they pulled off Emperor Thaurissan while 2x Entomb in hand and they have 10 mana, then can not deal with deal with both your ultra-stick minions during the same turn, giving you an extra turn to hatch one of the minions creating even more!
Also chances are you wont be able to pull it off but the ultimate (Exodia) combo of the deck is pulling the above combo and then using ANOTHER Faceless Manipulator to create 3 'Egg' threats that will almost guarantee your board being filled with 7 Cairnes or high-value taunts...
As I am new to the concept I couldn't wager a guess at the full matchup winrates but from what I've heard, it's favoured heavily vs aggro shaman and yogg-druid, pretty good vs most control decks. And weak to 2x Shadow Word: Deaht 2x Entomb control priest.

Saw Frodan sweep 2 3 game sets with this, really powerful against aggro, saw Garra make some sick plays with ancestral spirit on a doomsayer against Chakki's Zoo deck, RIP Zoo! Thanks Frodan great stuff!!

using it vs strife cro
Nice to see a touch of originality rewarded. Rooting for Frodan to win it all now.
At the moment 8-3 with this deck on rank 5-4. Great vs. zoo, tempo dragon warrior, good vs. aggro shaman. In the current meta the deck is awesome, although I am sure that very soon people will start to adjust - adding silence for example should counter this deck very effectively.
