This deck is designed to be a flavourful Kami tribal deck. Most of the cards are from Kamigawa block.

The main feature of the deck is its large amount of Soulshift cards. A card with Soulshift, when killed, will allow you to add a Spirit from your Graveyard to your hand with a Converted Mana Cost less than or equal to the number. Usually this number is 1 less than the Converted Mana Cost of the card. Although this mechanic saw no competitive use, it can create some fun situations with long chains of Kami.

The deck's commander, O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami is chosen for flavour reasons. Morophon, the Boundless probably is a better competitive edition, but I prefer O-Kagachi. It's usually better to leave him in the Graveyard, has he can be quickly returned by Pus Kami, Kami of the Honored Dead, Vine Kami, Thousand-legged Kami and Body of Jukai.

Another feature of this deck is The Unspeakable. Your usual way of getting out The Unspeakable is with the Reach Through Mists, Peer Through Depths and Sift Through Sands combo. Although I am yet to actually achieve this. I found myself drawing The Unspeakable a lot, so I included Scroll Rack to put him back. I found Scroll Rack to be a really fun card to use, and I like that it places the cards back on top of your deck instead of just shuffling them in. You can also use Jace, the Mind Sculptor to place back The Unspeakable. Although that's underselling Jace's power.

Sanctum of All is awesome. It allows you to get out your Honden! For this reason, I also included Laboratory Maniac since Honden of Seeing Winds is not a may, it is a mandatory effect, so it's been included as a last resort if you're going to die of overdrawing.

The deck is not particularly competitive, nor was it designed to be. It's meant to be a fun Kami deck! It's particularly susceptible to Graveyard hate, so be warned!

The maybes are cards that have some potential synergy with this deck, and generic cards I left out.
