Is there really any point to Far Sight? It feels like Innervate, except there's a tradeoff of "it randomly decides which card you have to play, whereas Innervate can be spent on something of your choosing", and "Far Sight draws a card for you meaning it doesn't shrink your hand size, whereas Innervate + expensive creature or spell means you're down 2 cards for 1 effect".
Potentially it means you could play out like, an early game Fire Elemental or something, or you could combo it with Violet Teacher or Gadgetzan Auctioneer or something if the Far Sight happens to draw you a spell that gets cheaper, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone play it. I don't know how you buff Far Sight, because if it lowers the mana cost more than the price of Far Sight itself, that's a little too good.
Also, while we're talking Shaman, I'm not sure I've ever seen someone use Doomhammer in Constructed, for whatever reason. It doesn't seem that bad, though obviously it's not ideal for taking on bigger, late-game creatures. Prime target for Acidic Swamp Ooze, I guess, since it takes so long to use up its durability.
Doomhammer with Spiteful is pretty terrifying.
