Remember to hit reload every day or else the new card may not load!

Not all of the old Card of the Day files are working right now. All of the old files should be running within one month. About 60-75% are working now. Sorry for the delays getting new cards done too. Things are getting back to normal slowly--read story below if you're interested.

In this web page, I hope to present to you strategies, combos, and obscure uses for a new Magic: The Gathering card every single day.

The Card of the Day is...

Bone Shaman

Ice Age Common
2RR Summon Giant

3/3
"B: Any creature damaged by Bone Shaman this turn cannot regenerate until end of turn."


A brief rundown of the card:

Sick and tired of trying to get rid of such regenerating irritants as Uthden Troll and Drudge Skeletons? Bone Shaman might be your man. Bone Shaman is kinda like a beefy Whippoorwill. Regeneraters can be a huge problem against most creature based decks. Unless you have tramplers, one stinking Will O' The Wisp can hold off almost every creature in the game. Bone Shaman isn't a waste at 3/3 for 2RR--not too bad. Here are a few ways to help your Bone Shaman dispose of regenerating nasties:
  • Fire Whip
    If your Bone Shaman can't get into combat with a regenerater, Fire Whip can allow your giant to deal damage to a creature outside of combat. If one point of damage is not enough to fell the regenerater, add some cheap direct damage to your deck also. Remember...even if the giant's damage is not enough to kill a creature by itself, it still can't regenerate that turn. This is often all you'll need.
  • Melee
    If you don't like how blocking is announced by your opponent, override their decision on how to block with Melee. This nifty card allows you to decide how your opponent's creatures will block yours for a turn. "No, I don't think the skeletons will block my Scaled Wurm--they'll block the Bone Shaman. The Scaled Wurm will be blocked by your Marsh Viper instead." HAHAHA. I love Melee. It's won me lots of games.
  • Arena/Triangle of War
    Both of these cards allow your creatures to deal damage to an opponent's creatures without having to risk combat. With some careful timing, either of these cards should allow you to dispose of regeneraters with your Bone Shaman fairly easily.
