About Frozen Shade

Frozen Shade, Creature — shade, designed by Douglas Shuler first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 13 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.09.

A deck focused on black mana and creature combat would benefit from including Frozen Shade, as it offers a versatile ability to pump up its power and toughness for a low cost. However, there are better options available in Magic: the Gathering for similar effects, such as Nantuko Shade or Nightmare, which provide more impactful abilities or stats for their cost. While Frozen Shade can be a decent inclusion in budget or casual decks, it may not see play in more competitive or optimized strategies due to stronger alternatives.
