Copying Kazuul Warlord for two mana? I could get into that.
@kronos539: No. Her ability would activate, but seeing as how she's still coming into play, and they're all entering play simultaneously, there are no creatures in play at present; thus, the ability would fizzle, she'd come in as a 0/0 creature, and unless you had something to instantly increase her toughness, she'd die immediately. Ghostway would be a very good idea for an Ally deck, however, since they would all power each other up simultaneously while coming back...

@Kronos539
I just despaired for the same thing realizing all my shapeshifters would die if I Ghostwayed them away. Fortunately there are a couple of answers:
1)Play another Ally after you play the ghostway. This doesn't work if you did not ghostway during your main phase though so it is of limited use (unless you have something like Vedalken Orrery or Leyline of Anticipation...which actually aren't a bad idea in an ally deck) .
2)The Changeling Champions: Changeling Berserker, Changeling Hero, Changeling Titan. This works even at instant speed so long as the changeling championed a non-jwari Shapeshifter ally. Unfortunately this is ineffective if you are using Ghostway to try to dodge a wrath or if your opponent just removes the formerly championed creature after Ghostway has resolved and before the end of the turn.
That's all I got really. At least the... (see all)

@FU1345000 - You wouldn't need the second one. First of all, Oblivion Ring is an enchantment and couldn't cast in response to your creature. Second, this doesn't target so I'm not exactly sure if your choose the creature when you cast it but it has to happen before she hits the battlefield, so you would choose what she's copying before they have a chance to respond. However, removing an ally on the field before she does hit it would still cause any triggers that count the number of your allies (such as Hagra Diabolist) to be one less.

Two questions:
1) If this card is exiled by Venser or a similar effect and then returns to the battlefield will he retain the aspects of the card he originally copied, or am I correct in thinking he'll be able to copy another target Ally since it's as if he was just summoned?
2) If he comes into play simultaneously with another Ally due to a spell/ability such as Genesis Wave would he be able to copy that other Ally as they both resolve, or would he need to copy an Ally who was already on the battlefield?

@Cowology:
1) once a card has been removed from the field, whether it gos to your hand, deck, graveyard, or gets removed from play, will forget ever having been on the field. Thus when it comes back into play, it will be Jwari Shapeshifter again.
2)As stated before, it copies a creature as it is coming into play. Since Genisis Wave is bringing them all into play at the same time, you would not be able to use it to copy a second ally joining it on the merger into play. Thus you would have to have at least one Ally on the field for it to copy.

@Eved , well, It might work if you already have a deck using amoeboid changeling and imagecrafter.
