"Yes, Soulshift 7. Promised Kannushi can return any Spirit with converted mana cost of 7 or less. However, Promised Kannushi is a Human Druid, not a Spirit."

I like that. "Yes, it is awesome. Deal with it."

I was considering putting this in my spirit deck, but I usually got it first turn or so, before anything of real value went to my grave.

3/5, possibly good

awsom..... swing with Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker and you can get some goodies bake from the grave for free. too bad he isent a sperit himself or you could lose a 2 drop to get a 7 drop back, inderectly of corse.

5/5 just because of the potential of spirits it can bring out .

The card is pretty good, but to me it seems like it's just begging to have some flavor text that explains why a Human Druid has Soulshift 7.

If you're wondering why this has soulshift, look up the word "kannushi."

This is ridiculously awesome. You can use him early game if you require a blocker, and he's decent... But in late game he is essentially a delayed graveyard pull which can also trigger sac effects and even attack with support. Truly an excellent card.
4/5

idk how there are cards that are overpriced with soulshift in the first set at uncommon, yet this is a common for a 1 drop. did wizards realize that will suck (ass) i future years or what?

I'd probably go with the kamigawa spirit dragons

This is what Soulshift SHOULD have been. Simply making the rules "another Spirit" and the damned 6, 7, 8 and even 9 costed Soulshifters could have had their prices drastically reduced to match their actual power. Not simply a failed justification for a gimmick mechanic.

Why couldn't more soulshift cards be this good?

I always thought being a kannushi would be an amazing position.

In any case this is a great card for spirit decks, which aren't much of a thing, and green isn't really a color for them outside of kamigawa block. Well, its still as good as soulshift gets. OmegaSerris is right here, Soulshift was a cool idea but I think they overestimated it for the most part.

Love that judge ruling though.
