I will admit that my hatred of them is irrational, but hear me out.
I was young. I had just spent my life savings on a box of Fallen Empire. I had wanted Revised but the store owner was out of it, and told me that it was the same thing.
Finally, after that financial set back, I was able to get enough money to buy a pack. A new set had just come out, Ice Age. I waited till I was on the school bus, in the morning, before I opened it. I was hoping to get one of those powerful Jester's Masks I had heard about, or even that one creature, which I did not believe existed, that could bet up a Leviathan.
When I opened the pack and carefully counted cards to my rare and found this. All of my hatred for the store owner that had cheated me out of my life saving came back as I read this Fallen Empire worthy card. In that instant(not Interrupt) I knew I had to get all of these "Shyfts," and destroy them. (I mean if I wanted to get past my brother's CoP:Blue there was Dream Coat which could be put on a Mahamoti Djinn. Shyft would just die to his Order of Leitbur).
As I grew older I saw the impossibility of my task. For every Shyft I wiped out, two more would appear in someone’s binder the next time.
My only hope is that some day wizards will go back and revise this card and make it no longer a shyft. Then Mistform Ultimus will have the taint removed, and the shyft’s will finally be utterly eradicated.
Um...I've never had any real problem with it. I got into the game shorly before Fallen Empires and spent a lot of money on it as well, but that doesn't mean that I now have an irrational hatred for all the bad cards I wasted money on - quite the opposite, actually, as I always get a pleasant sense of nostalgia when I sort through my older cards and remember how much fun I used to have with them, as horrible as they were.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
I should start collecting Shyft now and then taunt you with a binder full of them.
lol. Seriously. I don't see any problem with the card. Sure it isn't a power house, but there isn't anything horrible about it. I mean it isn't a One with Nothing...

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.

Anyways, It's certainally a lot better then that crappy Polar Kraken you wanted. It isn't the worst card. A lot of things deal with colors, so it could be used in a deck somewhere...

Oh, why do people say that? I used him in my reanimater. 3 lands for 22 trample damage?(well first it was 20 with animate dead, then 22 with necromancy) When I was 14 it was the best combo ever! Dang IT! It seems Shyft has bested me again! Everywhere I turn people will side with it over me! I bet wizards will end up reprinting it in Cold Snap, or in one of the per cons! Or (even worst) they will make a whole race of them, instead of just the one. I will start losing to them in limited!
Oh Shyft! Oh why? Why must it always have the last laugh? I feel like Agrajag.
You don't have to worry about seeing it in CS or any of the precons. It is an ice age rare, so it won't be in CS. That would be silly. And the precons would want to show off the new set with new rares, not old rares. The best we are getting from IA/AL in the precons are commons or uncommons.

Current Fallen Angel (Anson Maddocks art) Count:449!!!
I don't get it man...do you ever get laid? Not only is Shyft one of the coolest, and most practical, never mind useful, card of all time...it allows for so much creativity!!! Is he going to be black? So you cannot destroy him with new cards like Seize the Soul? Is he going to be black and red? The possibilities are endless...Perhaps you don't get it Soron...shyft can be ANY COLOR! It can be Magenta and Cyan even. It can be PURPLE. It can be Robin's Egg Blue...oh my god...what a revalation! He can be all of the Crayola colors. That would be neat as hell. Now who the hell are you to say we must be denied of such fun and just, an awesome card in general. And besides...Polar Kraken SUCKS...So what do you say to that Soron...because I am pretty sure you just got OWNED.
I wouldn't say we are shyft lovers. At least I am not. I am just indifferent towards the card. so it is a 5 mana 4/2 with a randomly useful ability. There are plenty of worse cards to go on a Crusade against.

Over Costed?!?!?... Um... Look, that is not what I am saying, but we are getting off topic. We are discussing Shyfts, not my linage. Start a different thread for that.
While emanuel, joint-smoker, Reject, and, of course, myself have come to our senses and voted to whip them out. Not the allies I was hoping for, but a general goes to war with the army he has.
Those of use that wish to eradicate the race known as “Shyfts” I recommend we ally our selves with the Shyfts natural enemy, the Shapeshifters. They are tricky, but not evil, like the shyfts. I also recommend we find this Tsabo Tavoc and have her make a decree of some kind.
We cannot, under any circumstances, allow a Shyft-illusion alliance to form. I have had a nightmare of Mistform Ultimus holding Konda's Banner and leading an army of 6/4 shyfts into battle.

I think you may need a hobby.
Good luck obtaining the entire print run and/or altering history so it was never printed. Otherwise, you may just have to deal with the fact that it exists.

I'm gonna have to agree with Photon Eater. Shyft is not a game breaker. Hell it's hard to break on its own. But the flavor of a creature that changes colors but is not a shapeshifter (which is overplayed) is cool. I'd love to see the creature type Shyft return.

Races get eliminated all the time; Why just in 9th addition alone the race of Nekrataals, for whom I shed a tear, was wiped out. This task is far from impossible.
WotC eliminates races all the time; Why just in 9th addition alone they wiped out the race of Nekrataals. This task is far from impossible.
So why not just shut yer yap and let Shyft be; when they reprint it, it might just become a shapeshifter or something. E-mail Wizards, don't piss on us about it.

The only problem is that you AREN'T WotC. Your post implied you either wanted to force the card and type not to exist anymore, or somehow gather them all up and destroy them.
You could always petition that WotC gets rid of the type, but I seriously doubt they are going to be like "Oh look, a guy on the internet! With OPINIONS! Let's do the next thing he says, okay?"

I think Shyft is utterly awesome, if only for its name.

I mean come on, at least get that straight. it would obviously rape your mother and kill your father.
but hey, I'm always up for card burnings, I even started my own little akki lavarunner crusade once. although I gave up cuz no one had any.
HAve fun killing Shyfts!
Shyft can only be one of the 5 colors of magic. So unless someone makes a Purple colored magic card, it can only be blue, black, red, white or yellow... umm.. I mean green.
So much for making a KILL ALL THE SHYFTs clain, gosh darn heck Shyft lovers!
