Yes unless you play some fun drunk + shatter deck, to trigger your drunkard units to get buffed when their brew are shattered and then buff them again with another brew.
I tried an aquatic bg with IS once, I chose the water ability while doing this. I do not really recall what I was up to with aquatic/IS.
if you have no other shatter sources actually shatter is viable. but in pala you have squire, in dwarves brewmaster, so maybe in barbs you can go shatter
In my regular barbs I just used Conscript if a negative equip was too oppressive and I hadnt drawn Squire.
