Teamfight Tactics - why you need a shovel + combo

The Spade in Teamfight Tactics is a mysterious item that drops from neutrals. The description does not provide any helpful hints, but it is actually the best and most useful thing in the game. Like any other item, combining with another item creates something new. However, unlike other items, most of the things a Spatula can create affect the bonus. class or race unit.

Thus, if you have a Shovel and combine it with Ultimate Sword, you get Yomuu's Ghostblade, which can give any champion an Assassin class bonus. Want to make your Tristana an Assassin? Give her Youmuu. Similar combo useful for every item in the game, and the Shovel is the key to all of them.

I have compiled a complete list of all the item combinations with the Spatula currently available:
