Shahrazad Shahrazad is one of the most unique cards in the history of Magic: The Gathering, and is an example of a wonderfully flavorful design going horribly wrong in practice
First, the Shepherd can be very sweet in Panharmonicon decks with a sacrifice outlet, like Yarok, the Desecrated, where the value of the creatures are in their ETB triggers, not their power/toughness: for example, evoke Mulldrifter, draw 2 cards and sacrificing it, then make a token copy drawing another 2 cards
Instead, all damage dealt to you is dealt to Anti-Venom, which then turns it into +1/+1 counters
This means youre getting four mass-flickers per turn cycle with no additional input, provided you can find the correct cards
