Strategy
Ancestral Spirit is a very versatile shaman card. It can be used on a minion with Deathrattle, such as Cairne Bloodhoof, to both make use of the Deathrattle and bring the minion back, so that the Deathrattle might be used again. It can also be used for keeping important Taunt minions in play to keep protections up, or to keep your heavy hitters from going down too easily, such as Dust Devil.

Keep in mind that Ancestral Spirit works by granting the target a Deathrattle, so the minion you play it on is still vulnerable to Silence or transform effects. Because of this, the card is best used just before the minion dies, either through trading with the opponent's board or through combos such as Reincarnate.
