Kami of Jealous Thirst: Deathtouch Drain Engine
This Near Mint Foil Kami of Jealous Thirst arrives with a compact frame and a bold presence, costed at {2}{B} and armed with Deathtouch. In combat it pressures a wide range of blockers and allows for efficient trades, a reliable tempo tool in the early game. The card also carries a built in drain option that scales with your card draw, giving you a path to incremental advantage as the game unfolds.
The centerpiece is an activated ability that can swing the trajectory of a match when timing aligns with your draws. Pay 4B to have each opponent lose 2 life and you gain 2 life. If you've drawn three or more cards this turn, this ability costs 4 less to activate and it can be used only once per turn. The flavor text nods to the bustle of Towashi opening up new avenues for less benevolent kin, a sly reflection of envy fueling a spirit’s thirst. In Modern Horizons 3 this Kami finds a home in drain oriented strategies, offering a reliable threat that also accelerates your life swing when the moment is right.
