Shade is a mainly black creature type used for cards that depict powerful spirits, typically employed by evil wizards who wield large amounts of black mana. Shades are shadowy ghosts of dead people which linger on earth. The cards usually have "pump" effect ({B}: ~ gets +1/+1 until end of turn.) The first card to bear the type was Frozen Shade in Alpha.

- Another Frozen Shade was summoned by Aldon using the Dark Amulet, along with a vampire and bog wraith. The shade needed to feed on flesh or would dissipate, so joined with Dreygar in convincing Aldon to attack Dreygar’s Castle. When Dreygar was killed, the bog wraith remained as an advisor to Aldon.
