Hello everyone! I present to you:

"The flying Giants extravaganza" 


As many mid range-y or even Control Shaman lists uses the Jade Package to get additional value and overall fit the Elemental theme better, we will be utilizing a different spectrum of cards to get to where we want.

The goal is "simply" to use more Overload cards in the early to mid game in order to reduce the cost of our Snowfury Giants. I have added a handful of more non - traditional tools in order to make this work:


Bloodmage Thalnos cycles a card, and is great with the removals.

Stormcrack early target removal.

Stonehill Defender is good because Taunt, and it also allows you to occasionally find yet another Earth Elemental. Other good hits are: Thing from Below, White Eyes, Stonehill Defender, Al'Akir the Windlord

Jade Claws is a great weapon that still fits the theme. Good for early game spot removal and that extra reach.

Doomsayer will buy you a turn in many scenarios, and allows you to stall until hitting your late/mid game threats.

Lightning Storm great and cheap AOE for those tempo matchups.

Volcano if you ever need a proper clean up.

Earth Elemental is just amazing in this deck. Often it eats up your opponents board and works really good with Ancestral Spirit as well.

Eternal Sentinel in case you fall to far behind on crystals. Also playable on turn 2 if you just need something to contest on board.

One little fella who's gonna have a lot of fun is Unbound Elemental which grows bigger every time a crystal is overloaded. 

Fight Promoter works surprisingly well in this type of deck. You'll be surprised how often this card gets value.

Edit: With the 
addition of the Lesser Sapphire Spellstone the potential of this deck is incredible. And let's not forget Crushing Hand aswell. Hard removal has been a problem here, and this will just might make this deck viable! (Semi - viable) hehe...

Imaging having a Snowfury Giant with the Ancestral Spirit buff on it. On the SAME turn you can turn that in to 3 by using the spellstone. That is very hard to deal with, if not impossible. And then the windfury the turn after.... Bojjaa :p

Ancestral Spirit are mainly for the Earth Elementals or the Snowfury Giants, because we want them to stick on the board. 


After carefully calculating (not) all the Overloading, the Snowfury Giants will cost close to nothing or 0 mana. Combined with Ancestral Spirit it's gonna be hard to deal with. 
The bane of this deck is obviously hard transform/removal spells like Hex and Polymorph. These cards are not that popular on ladder now, but they appear once in a while. When playing against these decks, it's important not to go all in and risk having nothing to follow up with. Try to bait the removal out as good as possible, in order to play a threat more safely in following turns.


Feel free to try it out! It's really something else.

(NOT RECOMMENDED ON HIGH RANKED LADDER)

Cheers :)
