Instant Deck Tech: Shaman (Modern)

by SaffronOlive // Dec 11, 2017

Instant Deck Tech time! A long time ago on Budget Magic we played All-In Shaman, but sincethen the deck has gotten some big improvements, mostly in Metallic Mimic, which is the perfect lord for a tribe that cares about +1/+1 counters. What does a non-budget, upgraded version of Shaman look like? Let's break it down!

Don't forget, if you want to see this deck made into videos, you can vote by liking, commenting and subscribing to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel!
