More cards in the "Shamans matter"
theme of W/U. This time I introduce the Shaman Token and a couple of
places where it gets made.

Sly Charlatan is not a Shaman himself,
but manages to trick real Shamans into believing he's worthy of being
followed. Mechanically he's just two Shaman tokens, one at cast and
one whenever you feel like chump blocking (like the way Doomed
Traveler works with a bonus on cast).
Drove Caller is the real deal, fighting
the good fight and calling Shamans to his aid.
Blinkered Push is
more of an anti-blink effect, where, instead of removing a creature
from the battlefield and putting it back, this one puts it down and
immediately brings it back. This allows you to take advantage of
enter the battlefield effects, or, in the case of Sly Charlatan,
leave the battlefield effects as well. You could use Blinkered Push
on Sly Charlatan, get two tokens, then cast Sly Charlatan and get a
third token. You could also trigger enter the battlefield effects on
a card in your hand that's too expensive to cast immediately, but
still has a relevant effect.
