Much Abrew: Shaman (Modern)

by SaffronOlive // Dec 25, 2017

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Last week, we had an interesting scenario as far as our Instant Deck Techs were concerned, with Modern Shaman and Legacy Curses (which is apparently called Nyx Fit) essentially being tied for most popular. So, how do we resolve a tie? The correct answer is, we don't. Instead of playing one deck or the other, we're actually going to have two episodes of Much Abrew this week, with Shaman today and then Legacy Curses (aka Nyx Fit) coming out on Tuesday. It's a Christmas miracle!

As for our Shaman deck, I'm pretty excited to try it out because we played a budget version of Shaman a long time ago, and even on a budget, the tribe felt pretty good. Without the budget restriction, we not only get Metallic Mimic, which is the perfect lord for a tribe that cares about +1/+1 counters thanks to Rage Forger, but Collected Company as well! Do Shamans have what it takes to compete in Modern? Let's get to the videos and find out; then, we'll talk more about the deck.
