Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa
Harness the power of 5-color Spirits by combining Kamigawa spiritcraft and soulshift recursion with Innistrad disturb mechanics and Lorehold spirit synergies. Kyodai protects key legendary spirits while your army overwhelms opponents in the air.
Asked for“5 color legendary spirits. Kyodai as commander. Soulshift, tribal support, lorehold spirit support, disturb.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
