Hundred-Talon Kami is a five-mana 3/1 flier with Soulshift 4 — passable stats, but the recursive ceiling is the only reason to run it. The cost is real: you need a dead Spirit in your graveyard and a willing sacrifice, which is two moving parts for a card that rarely swings a game on its own.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Hundred-Talon Kami sees essentially zero play in competitive formats — Legacy, Vintage, and Modern have far better five-drop threats and recursive engines. In Pauper it's legal but outclassed by commons with cleaner rate-to-impact ratios. Commander is the only realistic home, and even there Hundred-Talon Kami belongs only in a dedicated Spirit tribal deck leaning hard into Soulshift chains, where the graveyard recursion can generate incremental value over a long game.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Hundred-Talon Kami is deep bulk — you'll find it in a common box or a bulk lot before you'd bother buying a single copy. That price is stable by default: there's no competitive demand to move it, so it sits at floor and stays there.
