AncientRodCalls

I finally got around to craft a playset Call the Ancients and started brewing with it. After a lot of experimenting this is the first reasonably successful list.

The deck is for the most part an Elysian Midrange deck, that is relatively light on removal cause it aims to go bigger than the opponent thanks to cheap Units with very high stats and Xenan Obelisk. It includes the Infinite Hourglass + Divining Rod combo to pull out Titans, either the ones created by the Call (always thought they'd be called Ancients) or the Sandstorm variant, but also works well with Cirso + False Prince and/or all the Flyers in the deck. In addition to that there's a lot of card draw in the deck, aswell as Excavate as a sort of multi-tool, allowing to play more Calls, setting up guaranteed hits with the Rod, fetching cards discarded by Rod (or which got killed or already used, as it always does).

The deck is fun to play and in my (limited) test games so far it has been quite strong against anything I came across.

Good Luck, Have Fun \\(^o^)// Dish

Edit: Just a few finishing touches.
-Exchanged one of the Hourglasses for a copy of Accelerated Evolution, which does a similar job and actually is a bit more flexible, cause Hourglass is terrible in multiples.
-Added 2 Twinning Rituals cause copying a Call Titan and playing one or even two in the same turn isn't hard, and it's just a very useful card with a lot of the Units in this deck. Those came in for 1 Excavate (wonderful in the deck, but 4 is too much) and 1 Strategize (it's good, but since Call and Excavate create card disadvantage, the other draw effects are more important.)

Edit2.1: Final finishing touches (really), since I got a lot more games in now.
- I completely replaced Hourglass with Accelerated Evolution, since it's so much more flexible, provides extra stats and provides the option to turn almost every Unit into a worthwhile Rod carrier.
- I took out a Wisdom of the Elders. With the additional cards from Accelerated Evolution to pitch for Strategize a 3/3 mix seemed reasonable.
- I replaced one of the False Princes with another Champion of Wisdom, cause Prince is a BAD target for most of the spells, especially Evolution and Twilight Hunt, while Champion is a very good one. Also never can have too many big beefy flyers.
- Also took out one of the Divining Rods cause it showed up more often on my early hand than I appreciated and while it's often doing a great job when I get to play it, it rarely gets more than one additional Ancient Titan on the field, so I...
- ...filled the two open spaces in the deck with Mating Call, which isn't only much cheaper to play, and in result easier to combo with an Ancient Titan, cheap enough even to pull the killed Titan you just put with Excavate onto the deck, it also searches a lot more cards for those Titans and sometimes (provided you played Call more than once) slams 2, 3 or more onto the field. Keep in mind though: If you only ever played Call the Ancients once, and one of those 4 Titans it created is the one you're playing Mating Call on, your chances to hit even one of the remaining 3 in the whole deck are really slim!
However, the combination of Mating Call and Divining Rod works in my games so far a lot more consistent and effective than relying on the Rod alone.
- Played around with the powerbase a little bit, i.e. adding Amber Waystones to the mix to last a bit longer against rush decks.
- Changed the name of the deck ;P
