Champions of Kamigawa common. Some cards in Kamigawa block???such as Rend Spirit and Rend Flesh???play specifically into that set’s conflict between the spirit world and the mortal world. Others, however, are more subtle. Red’s Shaman-centric subtheme in Kamigawa of removing creatures from the game???also seen on Kumano, Master Yamabushi, Yamabushi’s Flame, Frostwielder, Yamabushi’s Storm, and Kumano’s Blessing???was a hoser for the Spirits’ signature keyword mechanic, soulshift. Sorry, Thief of Hope!
