The new super shredder is a powerful card with not too much attention. After giving him a spin in standard brawl he has played pretty well. Shredder is similar to [[Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER]], but you can use non-creature permanents, and exile removal. Shredder incentives you to go deep on playing to the board, and then sacing it for an explosive combo-y play.

Cards that help build up a board that Shredder likes on addition to the usual creatures are things like: [[Nowhere to Hide]] [[Impede Momentum]] [[Tithing Blade]]

Creating non-creature tokens: [[Homicide Investigator]] [[The Ooze]] [[Raven Eagle]]

Sac-outlets that also eat artifacts, and/or non-land permanents: [[Fanatical Offering]] [[Joo Dee, One of Many]] [[Tarrian's Journal]]

The big comboish cards for Shredder are spells that allow you to mass sac permanents or give a strong pay off for sacing things: [[Pitiless Carnage]] [[Pox Plague]] [[Rottenmouth Viper]]

Shredders ideal build is probably an aristocrat aggro shell that greedily gets on board with as many compact permanents as possible while Aldo being heavy removal, and sac outlets. These give you the greatest density of shredder triggers. I think he is a fun alternative to Sephiroth but he is not as good as he doesn't provide any card advantage or lifegain.
