Bayou Shaman

Banalitybob - 3/5 - Bayou Shaman has a lot of icons for a two drop, has a relevant character type, and an action that, while it’s definitely slow and is card disadvantage, can recover a good card that had to be buried in a domain early in the game. He’s something I would consider for pretty much any deck running Shub, but I’m afraid he’s also something that would usually be cut first if I needed room for more proactive cards.

Danigral - 3/5 - While Shub definitely has better characters in this cost range, it’s also hard to pass up multicon arcane. He will fit well in a deck that plays the long game with more expensive cards to avoid crippling yourself with early-game resourcing.

dboeren - 4/5 - Nice early icons and you can trade him in if you’ve got no further use for him later on. Works particularly well if you have cards that work off the top card such as reveal effects or Book of Iod which helps speed up his card advantage and makes it easy to seed your domains with the Black Dogs and Events because you can retrieve them when needed.

Kamacausey - 4/5 - I am a big fan of versatile characters like the Bayou Shaman. He has decent stats for his cost and an extremely relevant ability. We all know how excruciating it can be to resource some of your best cards early but with him you don't have to worry as much because he can go fetch them later in the game when you need them most.

mnBroncos - 3/5 - Solid icons and skill for a 2 cost character (also cultist does have some synergy) the action won’t always be used but it can get you a card that you didn’t need early game when you want it. I played the Syndicate character before that you could spend a resource to replace a card you have resourced with top card of your deck and I find this guy more versatile.

Reckoner - 2/5 - The Shub 2 cost slot is really bursting with options and in most cases you are probably going to choose another option. I would have been much more impressed if the card went to hand, but really the biggest thing going for this guy is the arcane icons.
