Main Deck

• Harmonic Prodigy is the key creature that will double all your triggers (unfortunately not a shaman). It also has Prowess, that will activate multiple times if you have more than one in play
• Rage Forger is part 2 of the combo. Have a Harmonic Prodigy in play and a bunch of shamans, then play Rage Forger and attack, you get double +1/+1 counters and double attack triggers
• Elvish Visionary and Clattering Augur for card draw
• Burning-Tree Emissary can be explosive with a Harmonic Prodigy in play adding a lot of mana
• Ignoble Hierarch for ramp and double exalted triggers if you attack with one creature and have a Harmonic Prodigy in play
• Eternal Witness for recursion. It works great if Harmonic Prodigy is in play as you get 2 cards back. Your main target to get back is Collected Company. Remove it if opponent is playing graveyard hate.
• Flamekin Harbinger works basically as 2 extra copies of Rage Forger. Even when you already have a Rage Forger in play, getting an additional one will double the attack trigger
• Magus of the Moon mainly because Urza's Saga exist. Usually to sideboard out if opponent is not playing tron or Urza's Saga. I much rather have something else in this slot, but I currently find this card extremely useful
• Lightning Bolt for removal and occasionally kill your opponent. Remove it if your opponent's deck is light on creatures
• Collected Company because it is awesome!

Sideboard

• Reclamation Sage for artifact hate
• Essence Warden for burn
• Nihil Spellbomb for graveyard hate
• Void Mirror for cascade and any deck playing free spells like Living End, any Incarnation or if you hate Force of Negation
• Fulminator Mage for land hate, mainly Tron. Works great with Eternal Witness as a repeatable way of destroying lands

SOME TIPs:

• Whenever you play Cavern of Souls you will obviously name “Shaman” as your creature type. However, when you play your 3rd cavern (sometimes your second) I recommend naming “Human” because the only 2 non-shaman creatures are Harmonic Prodigy and Magus of the Moon, both human wizard. There are no other wizards in the deck, but there are some humans such as Burning-Tree Emissary and Eternal Witness.

• Be aggressive and do not be so concerned about removal! Your creatures will get destroyed, but the objective is to kill your opponent in one or 2 attacks regardless of whether you actually get damage through or not. Rage Forger triggers on attack and you can always get your creatures back with Eternal Witness.

• Try to play around conterspells when you cast Collected Company by casting it when your opponent is tapped out.

• You almost never sideboard out Harmonic Prodigy, Rage Forger or Ignoble Hierarch. These are the core of the deck.

UPDATES

• I had to remove Flamescroll Celebrant   and replaced it with Clattering Augur and an additional land. Since there was some change in the metagame, Flamescroll Celebrant   was less useful and I found myself sideboarding it out most of the time. Clattering Augur helps with the card draw, but be aware that the black mana and the life loss can hurt on rare occasions
• I updated the sideboard to be more consistent (just a personal preference)
