Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
As Aaron so recently reminded us, creatures with nontapping and
nonmana abilities are a tremendous luxury. Rootwater Shaman is a bit
like True Believer, Meddling Mage, or Nightscape Familiar in its effect.
That is, the rules of the game change in your favor as long as these
creatures are alive -- they're sort of like enchantments on little
cardboard legs. Add to the fact that Rootwater Shaman isn't a horrible
deal as a 2/2 for , and you have a very intriguing medicine man.
The ability to play creature enchantments at instant speed might not
curl your toes at first. But think about the implications. You can play
Rancor on whichever creature it will most help after blockers are
declared. Abduction nabs an opposing creature as surprise defense.
Ghostly Wings becomes an emergency creature-pumping-flying-Unsummon
whenever needed. The list goes on and on. Pariah and Pattern of Rebirth,
in particular, have evil implications when played as instants.
Probably the most impressive effect you'll find with the ability to play
creature enchantments as instants is that Rootwater Shaman makes a
typical Enchantress deck even wackier. Sure, the deck needs to support a
lot of enchant creature cards instead of more global enchantments, but a
Whip Silk played several times for several cards during an opponent's
end step sounds pretty tasty to me . . .
