Decks with Deathrite Shaman in them are saying that they're modern legal. For instance: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/5-color-doran-1/

Tappedout checks the legality of cards when it is updated. Since this deck was last updated more than a year ago when Deathrite Shaman was legal, it shows up as that. If they updated it again, it would show the new banned list.

Oh, jeeze! I just thought that Deathrite Shaman got unbanned or something..... I almost got a heart attack here!

It was really, really bad! I might be disagreeing with some people here, but that card was so frustrating to play against! All the time I lost because of that card!

Deathrite Shaman probably shouldn't be unbanned right now. It was the main reason why Jund performed so well, and it is way too efficient for a 1 drop. I'd rather see Bloodbraid Elf back before I would want Deathrite Shaman.

Wouldn't Deathrite help balance the power of Treasure Cruise?

Not at all. He can only exile one per turn which is far too slow to make a difference to a deck that can cast many many many spells in a single turn.

Well my heart just took a pounding. You think I'd learn. "Gifts Ungiven legal in commander!" clickbait HOOOOO!
