This card is exceptionally powerful in EDH, especially with cards like Mimeoplasm or Lord of Extinction. You can fill the graveyard with creatures from your hand, while pumping other creatures you control and giving your commander options. All the while you are filling your hand with creatures you want! Makes Living Death or Grimoire of the Dead both devastating and brutal.

combine this card with madness: you get a creature onto the field AND get to pick one for your hand. that or reassembling skeleton, it's roughly the same

This is an amazing yard feeder in a {B}{G} or {B}{G}{W} reanimator deck.

Fauna Shaman, how I love thee... very hard not to include her in any Gx deck with a fair amount of decent creatures, given that she can find you exactly what you want at a given time, and isn't too hard to abuse given that she can search for cards to abuse her with (Squee and Genesis, I'm looking at you!).
It's also pretty boss having her on the battlefield in a UGx deck with Mystic Snakes, and having 5 mana open and cards in hand. Your opponent knows that if they play a spell you really don't want to resolve, as long as you've got *any* creature in hand its getting countered. Such is the power of the Shaman.
Plus, of course, pitching stuff to the graveyard opens all kinds of reanimator shenigans. As if simply tutoring stuff to your hand wasn't powerful enough.

@Emperorerror
How? Loxodon Smiter says "If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard Loxodon Smiter, put it onto the battlefield instead of putting it into your graveyard." If you discard your own Smiter with Fauna Shaman, it'll just go to the graveyard.
