Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa
$0.31
$0.31Legendary Creature — Dragon Spirit
Five-color flash value that protects one key permanent with indestructible and finishes with a flying Kyodai pumped for five mana at a time.
Read more
Kyodai is a 3/3 flyer with flash. When it enters, another target permanent gains indestructible for as long as you control Kyodai, so you can flash it in to save a creature, an artifact or a land from removal. For {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} it gets +5/+5 until end of turn, and that can be activated as often as you have mana. Decks run it as a five-color shell with ramp, removal and a big mana finish where Kyodai becomes a lethal flying threat.
In the recorded games, builds varied a lot, from tempo control to dragon and spirit themes. Common pieces were Cyclonic Rift and Austere Command for board control, The World Tree and Life from the Loam for land value, and Roaming Throne naming Dragon to double triggers. Kyodai often protected a key artifact or creature rather than attacking. The deck was slow, and land destruction or repeated removal kept it from ever casting its best cards. Fast aggressive decks pushed it into defense. Treat it as a flexible value pile more than a focused plan.
