Wind ! Obey My Command !
Like Swatting Insect !

For those who seek for some fun on HS, this is a deck for you. Don't expect to go very far with this one, but be ready to pull-off some combo !

The deck is basically made of draw, board clear, heal, and the combo.

Draw :

2x Ancestral Knowledge
2x Far Sight
1x Mana Tide Totem
1x Bloodmage Thalnos

 Board clear :

2x Doomsayer
2x Stormcrack
2x Lava Shock
2x Elemental Destruction
2x Lightning Storm
2x Hex

Heal :

2x Healing Wave
2x Antique Healbot
1x Hallazeal the Ascended

Combo :

1x Emperor Thaurissan
2x Ancestral Spirit
1x Reincarnate
1x Ancestor's Call
1x Al'Akir the Windlord
1x Baron Rivendare

How does the combo work ?

The combo is made of 6 cards for 14 mana. You'll have to use Emperor Thaurissan on at least 4 cards (Al'Akir the Windlord not included because you want him to come on the battlefield through Ancestor's Call).

1 : Play Baron Rivendare
2 : Play Ancestor's Call to pull-out Al'Akir the Windlord and attack
3 : Play 2x Ancestral Spirit then Reincarnate

That's it, you have 5 Al'Akir the Windlord on the board !

How to play this deck ?

Even if the deck isn't supposed to be competitive, here are some advices on the playstyle, if you want to last long enough to do the combo :

Mulligan : Agressively mulligan for one Doomsayer. The best cards to keep are Doomsayer, Mana Tide Totem (if Doomsayer in hands), Stormcrack.

Early Game / Mid Game : This is where you want to make value trade with your spells and draw a lot. Be extremely careful with your removals, they are limited. If some of you know how to play Freeze Mage, this is a bit similar. You have to accept to take some damage so that you can optimize the effect of your AOE's. Dont waste an Elemental Destruction on T3 if your opponent has 2 or 3 small minions. Keep it until you have no other choice. You have a lot of heal to stay alive, so you have to play a bit greedy with your removals. Best thing to do is obviously to wait for T8 and play Hallazeal the Ascended + Elemental Destruction (or T10 to unlock mana crystal with a Lava Shock if you can).
Emperor Thaurissan should be played only when you have 4 cards of the combo in hand.

End Game : If you have survived until now, it's time to OTK your opponent ! Be sure to not have other minion than Baron Rivendare and Al'Akir the Windlord in hand, then play the combo has described before !

And finally, here is some high-skilled R20 gameplay, for you to see how the deck is supposed to work (and for the most experienced of you, to remind you how good it felt to play at R20 without those pirates ****)
