Ruin of Seffala – White & Green Removal

Burst of Ferocity is a simple fight spell that gives an enormous P/T boost, making sure whatever you target is almost certainly going to survive combat. And, if you just removed the only blocker, you can then swing in hard.

Pillory is a take on the Pacifism spells, but the creature must be untapped simply for funny flavor reasons—in a pillory, you're stuck standing up. However, since it includes the clause that the enchanted creature can't tap or be tapped, it turns off all activated abilities that require tapping, yet keep the activated abilities that don't.

Dutiful Constable is the Banisher Priest of the set, and, like other non-shaman humans, it fills out the flavor of the world of humans who decided not to join the Drove. The Dutiful Constable wants to maintain the order of the old world, whether the power structure is in place to enforce it or not.

The flavor of Crazed Moose Pack is that it is so rabid that if you want it to attack something outside of combat, it has to go crashing through the forest so hard it destroys the trees on its way.

Drover's Salvation is enchantment hate, but it's also enchantment love if you built your deck to have many enchantments and your opponent isn't playing any threatening ones.

Volanti Jinx, Restless Predator, Tribunal, Dizzying Canopy, Miraculous Invocation

Volanti Jinx is another enchantment hate card, while also being a Shaman tribal card to boot.

Restless Predator is the only card that untaps itself, a mechanic I'd like to revisit some time. (You can see, of course, that it can be locked in the Pillory and can't untap itself.)

I count Dizzying Canopy as a bit of a removal card, because the opponent might think they can freely attack with their fliers, like Shaman or Djinni, and then after attacks, you can play this and knock them all out of the sky so you can block and kill their creatures.
