Creature (88)


Needing help/advice. My maybe board is long, (there are a lot of shamans to choose from). Going for Sek'kuar shaman tribal and token/graveyard combo. Seeking feedback on running this deck as shaman tribal with some combo elements. Main things I'm wanting help with are:

  1. Should I put more tribal support in? Descendants' Path, Coat of Arms, Door of Destinies, etc, in order to make it function more as a combat creature deck, or keep it as is with some combat potential but mostly through combo?

  2. Advice on the shamans I've left out, (in the maybe list or if you know of others, please let me know)

  3. Any obvious cuts you can see? Would I benefit from more draw, ramp, etc, or does it seem balanced enough?

I am attempting to keep this deck almost entirely tribal, please no suggestions of staples, straight up jund goodstuff or pieces outside current combos. Example: Kiki with Lightning Crafter is fine, Zealous Conscripts is not. I would like feedback mainly to streamline my choices to have the shamans containing the most fun abilities and unique uses, while still being somewhat practical. See maybe list. The below lists are notes of combos I have considered or are already included. Thanks

Biggest all stars include: Thornbite Staff, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker/Splinter Twin, Purphoros, God of the Forge, and Goblin Bombardment

World Shaper in play + Life/Death + Sek'kuar/Pawn of Ulamog and a wrath/sac outlet = Many 3/1's, ETB/LTB triggers, plus you get your lands back! (could use natural affinity if wanting to take others down)

Kiki-Jiki + Thornbite Staff + Sac + Sek'Kuar/Pawn of Ulamog = Infinite Tokens

Sek'Kuar + Thornbite Staff + Splinter Twin = Infinite Tokens

Hell's Caretaker + Thornbite Staff + ETB/LTB in graveyard + Any other creature in play + Sac = Infinite ETB/LTB next upkeep

Kiki-Jiki + Any creature in play, Changeling Berserker + Sac = Infinite ETB/LTB

Kiki-jiki + Lightning Crafter + Sac = Infinite Damage

Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin + Any creature + Thornbite Staff + Goblin Bombardment = Infinite Damage

Felhide Spiritbinder + Thornbite Staff + Sac - not infinite but fun combo similar to using Kiki to keep untapping and making copies of things, (any creature on the field), as long as you have mana to do so. Works best with Phyrexian Altar for the colored mana sac but if you even have a few red available it's value. Look for things with sweet ETB/LTB effects for max effect, best included in this deck I've seen so far include: Fanatic of Mogis, Thragtusk, and Mindclaw Shaman. Pair with any of the ETB/LTB damage effects for extra bonus.

Rakka Mar + Thornbite Staff + Phyrexian Altar = Infinite Tokens/ETB/LTB

Kazandu Tuskcaller + Thornbite Staff + Sac = Infinite Tokens/ETB/LTB

Other options: Thornbite Staff + Agadeem Occultist + Sac = Infinite ETB/LTB and whatever ETB/LTB the creature has if opponent has a 1 drop, (could be higher CMC if more allies are in play)
