Naaahh that's not right. Where is the damage coming from that you are redirecting from Shaman?
It still ends up working, I'm not 100% sure on how it can be explained technically. But it's a known combo, I never looked it up online, just added it into my deck, then came across it later when people said it wouldn't work I had to look to make sure it did, and it does.
Here's another example of one of my fun combo's, this one I havent seen out and about, but a lot of people have worked with Altar of Dementia combo's.
Then add any generic 1/1 1 mana generic black zombie (or cleric if you want). The deck is hit or miss though, its a low mana cost combo, I got dark rituals, counter spells, creature kill/bounce, and search cards. Sometimes it can set off turn 3 othertimes I just end up a card short, nice thing about it setting off is, doesn't matter how many people are in game, they will all be decked. The other nice thing about this combo is you could change out the altar for other cards.
Here's infinite colorless mana (could be used for burn, or many other things)
Theres more uses for it, but I don't think any are quiet as good as those 2. Also if someone is playing with
I have, these to deal with it, if they force me to I will recycle their library into their graveyard enough to gravestorm and remove everyones librarys from the game flat out, lol.
Could someone explain to me what plainswalkers do and how do you play with them?
No problem, here's an example of one.
You cast him whenever you have the 4 mana, just like a normal card. Now you see that "3" on the bottom is pretty much like his life (compared to a players life) or toughness (compared to a creatures toughness). And those abilities that say "+1" or "-1" or "-4" all add or subtract to his toughness, they can only be played as Sorcerys also. And he is treated as a Legendary permanant, so you can't have 2 of them.
Thats all the easy things, now it comes to, how to kill a planeswalker. They are pretty much considered a player. So lets say I have out Garruk and you want to kill him, when you declare you attackers step, you assign creatures towards him (like a player) and towards me. Now here comes the annoying part, you have to assume I am going to block if I have blockers.
So if you wanted to kill him and do damage to me, thats not always possible as you might have to send overkill at Garruk, otherwise I could block and he would live. But then if you send overkill at him assuming I am going to block, I then would not block as there is no point in having some of my creatures die when the end result of Garruk dieing would still be the same. So now you have over extended your forces, so sometimes it can be very hard to kill a damn planeswalker.
