Oyobi, Who Split the Heavens

Skyfire Kirin or Bounteous Kirin

All of my suggestions (except the last) are decks I've built in the past that EDHREC has less than 100 decks on record for. I really enjoy Kamigawa stuff, and there's some room there to build really interesting things.

One suggestion: Why is Skyfire Kirin in this deck? You only have one other card that'll trigger it ( Keiga, the Tide Star ).

Incorrect, Sousaphonist.

Summoning sickness refers to the rule that a creature cannot attack or use activated abilities with the or symbol in their cost if it hasn't been continuously controlled by a player since the beginning of that player's most recent turn. (See rule 302.6)

So say you cast Llanowar Elves on turn one. It has summoning sickness because you haven't controlled it since the start of your turn (beginning of the untap step). Three turns later, I use Act of Treason to take control of it during my first main phase. Now I control it. I haven't controlled it since the start of my untap step, so normally it would have summoning sickness, but Act of Treason gives it haste. I can use Elves' mana ability or attack with it this turn.

Now let's say that on the next turn, I steal it again, but this time with Skyfire Kirin 's ability. Again, I haven't controlled the creature since the start of my untap step, but unfortunately in this case, Kirin doesn't give the Elves haste. I can't actually use its mana ability or attack with it this turn unless I've got something else to give it haste.

A creature will keep regaining summoning sickness if control of it keeps getting interrupted. This could be control-changing effects like the above, but it also includes zone-changing effects (such as flickering with Ghostly Flicker ). This is why so many short-term control-changing effects (usually in red) add haste, so you can use it before you hand it back to its previous controller. Skyfire Kirin is an odd one out.

Summoning Sickness is a creature-specific condition which goes away when the creature's controller experiences an Upkeep Step, regardless of who cast it. Skyfire Kirin takes control of a creature, but it never leaves the battlefield.

If the creature you target with Skyfire Kirin 's ability had already lost Summoning Sickness, you gaining control of it will not cause it to regain it.
