Shirei is a very interesting card, one that demands to have (and has had) a EDH deck built around him and his bizarre ability. Creatures in this deck tend to be below 1 power and have abilities that trigger either when sacrificed or when they enter the battlefield. No worries about letting them be killed: Shirei can take care of it and have them up and kicking in no time at all.

This was one of my more successful EDH decks once it got going. Then Shadowborn Apostle appeared and suddenly the meta for this kind of deck changed. Since Apostles are nearly $2 each and a super viable deck would have over a dozen of them, I'm gonna stick to the old strategy and keep it to fun tricks with 1-power creatures.
