I've been wanting to make a Fetching Shadowcaller and have a question regarding the monster substitutions for the Summon Monster class ability. The summon monster spell description says those marked with an '*' apply a template based on the caster's alignment. The shadow caller class modifies this to instead apply the shadow template to those creatures. It also modifies the monster lists to include more monsters from the shadow plane and monsters that fit the theme (like Cloaker). My question is, since none of the subs are listed with '*', do none of them get the shadow template? Was it an oversight? I checked the erratas and they don't seem to address this.

Both Emerald Codex and the Charmed Red Dragon have been favorite cards for me, though I did use EC's banish power last game to pull Scrying and Mass Cure into my hand (third spell was blah but my group has been needing the other two for a while now).

Restoration worked out really well last game too and is quickly climbing the list of favored cards for my cleric.
