Deadbridge Shaman is a three-mana 3/1 that makes your opponent discard a card when it dies — a modest enter-the-battlefield-adjacent trigger stapled to a body that trades with almost nothing relevant. The cost is real: the effect only fires on death, the stats are fragile, and in a 100-card singleton format full of better discard engines, it rarely earns its slot.

Deadbridge Shaman is bulk-rare territory in every format it touches. In Commander, dedicated discard decks — helmed by Tinybones, Trinket Thief or Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger — will occasionally slot it in as low-cost redundancy, but it competes with strictly better options like Liliana's Specter and Burglar Rat that trigger on entering rather than dying. In Pauper, the format's aggressive discard shells want the effect on a cheaper or more resilient body, and the 3/1 statline dies to nearly every common removal spell before the trigger can matter. Legacy and Vintage don't give it a second look — the effect is too slow and too conditional for those formats.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Deadbridge Shaman is deep bulk — the kind of card that shows up in bulk lots and draft chaff binders. It holds no financial upside; demand is low enough that the price is unlikely to move in either direction.
