Galakrond, the Tempestis Shaman’s version of the card. His Battlecry summons two 2/2 Storms with Rush, but can be upgraded to summon two 4/4s or 8/8s if you Invoke him enough times.
Galakrond’s Fury is the Hero Power, and the effect generated when Invoke is triggered. You summon a 2/1 Elemental with Rush each time, so you’ll be able to keep an immediate threat to enemies when they try to take control of the board. Remember, whenever you play an Invoke card, Galakrond’s Fury is triggered, so it’s worth playing Invokes aggressively to take down enemy minions.
The rest of this deck plays like anEvolveShaman archetype. Aside from Galakrond, you’re trying to get your minions upgraded with the likes ofBoggspine KnucklesandRevolve, boosting their stats when possible.

General strategy
You’re aiming for a control gameplan, surviving through the early game and taking out your enemy with big-time plays later on. Here’s how to pilot it successfully.
Early Game: Try to keep the board clear of aggressive threats. You’ll want to mulligan accordingly if you suspect an aggro opponent, withSludge SlurperandInvocation of Frostbeing excellent cards to play early and avoid the opponent getting too far ahead. Remember - Invoking Galakrond summons a 2/1 with Rush, so you can castInvocation of Frostto freeze a minion, and send the 2/1 to kill another minion.
Try to survive as long as possible with your early drops and you should draw out your bigger ticket cards.Invocation of Froststalls out the enemy and gets you a 2/1 with Rush, andCagematch Custodianallows you to draw out your BogspineKnuckles.
Late Game:Galakrond, the Tempestcan bring you right back into the game. The fully upgraded version summons two 8/8s with Rush, offering removal alongside a scary board presence. Finally,Kronx Dragonhoofcan be played out after you transform into Galakrond, and unleash a Devastation on your enemy, stamping out any final hope of them getting back into the game.
