Innocence Kami puts a repeatable bounce effect on a 2/2 flying body — return any nonland permanent your opponent controls to their hand, once per turn, at the cost of tapping it. Six mana is steep for that rate, and without haste it doesn't threaten until the turn after it lands.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Innocence Kami is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, the effect is real — repeatable bounce disrupts combos, resets problematic enchantments, and buys time — but six mana for a 2/2 with no immediate impact is a hard sell when Venser, the Sojourner and similar effects do more for comparable or lower investment. In Legacy and Modern, the card is simply outclassed; formats that fast don't slow down for a six-mana do-nothing on entry.

Price Context
Current price
$0.17 bulk tier
At $0.17, Innocence Kami is deep bulk — you're paying for the cardboard, not the effect. That price is stable because demand is essentially zero; nothing about the current metagame is likely to change that.
