Nice that it can return itself to your hand, when it dies, if you control enough spirits.

I have a comment on another card, Oyobi who split the heavens, control both and this gets powered up twice as fast.

Can someone tell me, what kind of Spirits are Kodamas?

@Neut-
I'm guessing... tree spirits.
Out on a limb there. Lol. Tree pun.

romance: This will come out as a 5/5 or greater by the time you have the mana for it, in a mana accel spirit/arcane deck.
it will also have SoulShift 5, netting you back alot of your deck.

reality: It will enter the battlefield as a 2/2 for 5, with Soulshift 2. This is why Spirits were so weak of a mechanic in this block.

It's like a master of etherium for green... except its bad because most green spirits are either bad chump blockers or really beastly fatties.

I would never put this in a spirit deck.

South and North were both strong, one in aggro and one in midrange. This wasn't.

Kodama are spirits of the forest, so the flavor is pretty good on the three Kodamas.

As for this card, I actually like it. Spirit decks may not be very tournament viable, but they're pretty fun to play with in casual, and Kodama of the Center Tree can grow pretty big over the course of a game. It also helps that Long-Forgotten Gohei boosts it further.

I think this guy suffers from a bit of a paradox; in order to get a big Soulshift value, you need a lot of dudes. Best way to get a lot of dudes is tokens, or general weenie strategies. But if you do that, what do you have to return that's worth that much Soulshift?

I like that you can return him to your hand when he dies if you have enough spirits. Great tribal synergy, hilarious to see the look on opponent's faces when the hear that little ruling.

Weak because it requires Spirits to be able to function. If you try playing it in a non-Spirit deck, its toughness is zero and goes back into your library.
