Legendary Creature — Spirit
Kodama of the Center Tree's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Spirits you control. Kodama of the Center Tree has soulshift X, where X is the number of Spirits you control. (When this creature dies, you may return target Spirit card with mana value X or less from your graveyard to your hand.)
“Scaling Spirit lord with recursive removal protection via soulshift.”
Kodama of the Center Tree is your payoff for building around Spirits—it scales with your board and provides recursion through soulshift. The core gameplan is to establish a critical mass of Spirits, turning Kodama into a legitimate threat while building a resilient engine that recurs your threats when they hit the bin. You're not trying to kill with Kodama alone; instead, you're creating a self-sustaining Spirit army where Kodama grows larger and your key creatures come back repeatedly.
This deck wants incremental value and board presence over explosive turns. Early game focuses on ramping and playing efficient Spirits to establish the foundation. Mid-game, Kodama enters and immediately becomes a flying/evasive threat that scales with your setup. Late game, you're grinding through opponents with a recursive loop—Spirits trade or get removed, Kodama's soulshift brings back threats, and you rebuild faster than opponents can answer. Win through combat damage as your Spirits grow and pressure multiple angles.
