Wow that card actually makes it so that the myojin are useful. Red myojin, no lands ever, white- no creatures ever. Though I doubt that it will ever see any play.
It was when things were still in transition, they posted it on new years day or the day after, I think. Plus I talked him into giving one to them. (And yes, I do know them personally. I spend half my life at their apartment these days.)
I dunno, ability to grant indestructibility to anything is fairly useful. And with the white myojin you can not only reuse his wrath ability but also make it so any other creatures you have survive. SIIIIICK with the blue myojin, esp. with mind over matter (draw a lot, discard five to untap that which was taken and 4 lands, repeat several times, discard all for mana, torch them out). Can be used as an instant so its ridiculous in draft (uh... negate your removal and make another invincible guy... you wanna just resign yet?).

Its better than Sheild of Kaldra in many, many ways, although not all (Sheild/sword/helm). You don't even need a Myojin. Funny how it took 5 days to get here.
Yeah - but it's really just another one of those «win more» situations. Any combo with creatures is always a big risk...
I am not saying though that I won't try to make a nice deck around it either...
End of your turn I'll Through the breach the green myojin, my turn I'll spend 4 mana to dump all my other creatures from my hand into play. Sexy limited card. lol

am i the only one refreshing magic websites while looking at porn and eating fruit loops at 2 in the morning?...i feel so alone...
......WTF????....... I don't even know what kind of warning you deserve for this....
That card is sickeningly powerful, but a shade slow for constructed. Still, giving anything indestructability is absurdly strong, especially in decks full of board-clear effects. To be quite honest, I can see any deck with an angel in it running this card, pretty much specifically to keep the angels safe. An indestructable Platinum Angel is NOT something I want to see across the table.

Some wonder why I carry 8 decks on me. The answer? I get tired of being boarded against in casual games, and 90% of the players I meet can't beat a jank deck I made to be tokens for a serious one.
Oooo, a fun casual card. I like the flavor, although i had always thought that if they were gonna make a That Which Was Taken card, i thought it would have something more to do with O-Kagachi(assuming he's in BOK or SOK), like fetch him from you library and "maybe" put him into play(It makes sense, from a story point of view). But this ability is cool as well.
Hmm, it wont really be a used card, but it is pretty cool. The name is kind of weird, but makes sense, because in the first book of the cycle, the champions book, konda steals some sort of kami from the spirit world and it somehow protects him and Eiganjo castle from the other spirits. So maybe this is the essence of the kami that konda stole.

yes given that this is konda's stolen artifact / imprisoned kami, the name does make alot of sense with the card. also has a relevant ability that fits with the story ver of it. i like when they make cards that fit with the story and makes sense like glissa. anyway, the only deck that would use this is tnn and then only to keep a platinum indestructable or maybe kiki. great card in casual though.
That's all I have to say. And it gives me a reason to finally use that thing.
In all seriousness, this card is awesome. WAY too slow for Constructed, but really fun and a bomb in limited. Konda's won many a draft, and I'm sure this will do the same. It makes me more justified in the way I first-pick Myojins.
This WILL be a HUGE bomb in limited. The one weakness of drafting some of the otherwise-bombs in CHK was that there is a lot of removal in the set, and almost every deck packed a Befoul or Rend. This, though it will be a rare, could SLIGHTLY help the draft position of vulnerable beatsticks like Moss Kami.

About the name, this is (i assume) the item Konda, Lord of Eiganjo stole from the spirit world that started the war to begin with.
