I love the deck idea and theme! I'd remove the Gigantomancer and Masked Admirers, adding some kill spells or a Deathrite Shaman . Either way, I want to build this!+1

You're probably right about the Gigantomancer , but I wont remove the Masked Admirers . I just need that bit of card draw, and I can get it back if I discard it with Fauna Shaman . If I had Deathrite Shaman s I would definately play them. My kill spell is Nameless Inversion .

I would suggest going red over black.

One card makes red infinitely better than black. Rage Forger . For kill spells you have Lightning Bolt . You also get Burning-Tree Emissary .

I actually won a local tournament with R/G Shaman if you want some help or to see my old list. I'll just have to rebuild it.

No.

Why do you not want red over black, what does black give you that makes it better than Rage Forger

Black has Deathrite Shaman , it has Vampire Nighthawk , It has kill spells and Drana. I think Black is more reliable that Red for this style of deck. You could go three colour, but I never recommend playing Burning-Tree Emissary as I hate that card =p

But can those act as mini Hellrider s and you have kill spells in red in the form of Lightning Bolt , which kills everything Nameless kills but for 1 mana. You can't even recurr nameless meaning the best you can get is -3 to a creature for B, compared to 3 damage to a creature or a player or walker for R.

Deathrite shaman is G/B so you can cast it for G and if you splash a tiny bit of black with fastlands and fetches you can use Deathrite's damage ability too.

Drana is a bad card for modern simply because she is so slow when shaman want to be an aggro deck.

I currently play black for:Vampire Nighthawk , Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief and Nameless Inversion .

Vampire Nighthawk combos with Thornbite Staff , to kill things for two mana.

Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief kills stuff, kicks for heavy damage and is one of my few flyers. She may be a bit slow, but this deck has some acceleration (a playset of Sakura-Tribe Elder and Oracle of Mul Daya ).

Nameless Inversion is an awesome kill spell. It kills more creatures than lighting bolt, and it is a Shaman. For the ones of you who didn't notice: all my spells are shamans! Because it is a shaman, I can sometimes cast it for free (Leaf-Crowned Elder ) or for just one black mana (Bosk Banneret )

This is why I won't drop black for red. This is not an aggro deck, this deck just spams shaman spells and kills a lot of creatures. I playtested this deck, and it works this way. I would like to make it even better, but not entirely different from what it does now. It may not be suited for tournaments, but I have a lot of fun beating my friends with it.

a love a fun tribal deck... +1

Waw hey ! Nice deck idea !

I love your mini-combos, and i think this will be greater with a 4th Leaf-Crowned Elder , because this card makes you win ! =D

After playtesting i thought Drana needs too much black mana.

Great job on this deck ! =)

If you need a card that kill faster your opponent, you can try Sapling of Colfenor , Thrun, the Last Troll or Troll Ascetic . Korozda Guildmage may also help you to deal some damages with intimidation.

I think Elvish Visionary may be pretty good for this deck too.

For more control of your top of library, you can try these ones Fa'adiyah Seer , Gilt-Leaf Seer , Llanowar Empath and/or Mul Daya Channelers .

Deathrite Shaman ?

Thanks alot. I will consider adding a fourth Leaf-Crowned Elder . I really hope the next set in theros will have G/B scrylands, so that I will have more black mana, and I can scry to make kinship work better.

You're right, scry'll make beautiful things !

And i saw born of gods will include the 5 other bilands Temples, so i hope you could drop some ;)

Thornbite Staff would be a crazy good equiptment here, especially on Vampire Nighthawk . You can machine gun as long as you can pay the mana. Either way it equipts free on anyone you play.

Nvm, didn't see you already had it in your deck =p

too many shamans, didn't read.

Did you ever get a sideboard built for this deck?
