Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Finally, and my personal favorite, rather than use Shaman's Trance
as the centerpiece of a deck, use it as part of a whole “steal your
stuff” theme. Spelljack is perfect for a deck like this, as are
Planeswalker's Mischief, Desertion, Bribery, and Grinning Totem.
Sometimes Shaman's Trance will be useless in a “stealing” deck, but your
opponent will be so bewildered looking at his own cards killing him that
the Trance will largely go unnoticed.
However you use Shaman's Trance, if you are counting on playing opposing
spells then you need the mana to play those cards. Fellwar Stone,
Quirion Explorer, Birds of Paradise, City of Brass, or just cards like
Harrow can give you access to the colors you need. The other bonus of
these cards is that they act as mana acceleration, because Shaman's
Trance decks will universally need a ton of mana.
Below are three stabs of mine at using Shaman's Trance in a deck. The
most interesting of the bunch is the OBC deck, which looks to build
hordes and hordes of mana for either Shaman's Trance, Crush of Wurms, or
Time Stretch. Thanks to Gianpaolo "GP" Baglione for providing the
initial inspiration here.
