I've had 4x FBB Nether Shadow sitting in a binder for years. They've been staring at me ever since I got into Old School. Back in the day, I thought that card was so cool. I always wanted to paint out the shadow so that it only had one leg instead of two, but otherwise there was just something about that artwork!
Over the years, I tried making it work in a Lord of the Pit deck as a sac target. I've tried it in a grindy deck. Back when I actually owned Bazaars, I tried it there, too. Its never found a home for me, but I thought I'd give it another try this month.
This deck was not a wild success. I splashed a green for Sylvan Library a Regrowth and a sweet, sweet signed Elves of Deep Shadow. I really wanted to get Library and Tower going, but didn't pull that off in the few games I played this month. I'd like to revisit this deck and see if self-milling and a Lord of the Pit or two could make this pop off.
