Description
Released in 2005, Kami of the Honored Dead is a notable white creature from the Betrayers of Kamigawa set. As card number 12 with an uncommon rarity, this foil variant captures the essence of the block's Japanese-inspired mythology. The card functions as a seven-mana Spirit, offering both flying and a life-gain effect whenever it takes damage. Its Soulshift ability allows players to return a Spirit card with mana value six or less from their graveyard to their hand, providing strategic depth for collectors who appreciate the set's unique mechanics. Designed by Mark Zug, the foil treatment adds a distinct shimmer to this white-bordered card, making it a favorite among those completing the BOK set. For investors and hobbyists, foil uncommons from this era offer an accessible entry point into Magic: The Gathering collectibles. Kami of the Honored Dead remains a staple for builders looking to complete the white mana base of the Betrayers of Kamigawa expansion. Its enduring appeal lies in its functional design and the nostalgic value of the Kamigawa block.
