I think Big Game Hunter is the correct option to deal with Emrakul and friends.
It doesn't interact as well as Shriekmaw with recursion from Meren, but it can
target Griselbrand for instance. I also think that if I were to untap with Fauna
Shaman and look for a way to handle a flipped Delver I would just tutor for
Scryb Ranger instead who has its other uses. Baleful Strix also works but these
2 can be bolted so they don't exactly replace the goblin actually. In the
Breakfast version, I would just make a Griselbrand anyway and eat 3 damage a
turn as long as I can I suppose.
I would like to try that someday, see what's the most compact package for Aluren
where drawing a Recruiter of the Guard just win on the spot but with not too many "dead"
creatures that are not good enough on their own.
It's really that stupid, with no long-term way to "reorder" the graveyard like
Psychatog used to allow (Scoose costs G each activation) I think Necrotic Ooze
is the better synergy but they both work indeed. It just so happens that Phage
requires Volrath's Shapeshifter. Its last ability really has become relevant
since we're now usually limited to one activation of the Fauna Shaman per turn.
I agree with TNN outclassing other alternatives, but Infect with Atraxa is yet
another angle ;-)
