Shaman en-Kor card art
Shaman en-Kor redirects damage dealt to it onto any target creature you control for zero mana, as many times as you like — that's a repeatable, instant-speed damage-routing engine on a one-drop. Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer and Monk Gyatso both exploit this to lethal effect, and the cost is a single white mana.

Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer turns every point of damage Shaman en-Kor redirects into a poison counter on an opponent, converting a defensive ability into a kill condition — the Shaman becomes the activation engine that lets Anti-Venom close games without combat.

Shaman en-Kor is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and sees essentially zero Legacy or Vintage play — the damage-redirection loop is too slow for those formats and lacks a self-contained payoff. Commander is where it lives, specifically in decks built around Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer or similar damage-trigger commanders, where the free, repeatable activation becomes a combo piece rather than a defensive tool. Outside of a dedicated engine, Shaman en-Kor is too narrow to justify a slot.
