Betrayers Of Kamigawa Magic The Gathering Cards
Betrayers of Kamigawa (or BoK) is the name of the Magic: The Gathering
expansion set which came out in February of 2005. It contains 165
cards. The set's story is inspired by Japanese medieval myths and
revolves around the battle between spirits (kami) and living beings.
Most of the cards have Japanese-flavored names. The set's expansion
symbol is a shuriken, or ninja throwing star.
Betrayers of Kamigawa introduces several new mechanics to the game.
- Ninjutsu allows you to put a creature card from your hand into play tapped and attacking by paying a ninjutsu cost and returning an attacking, unblocked creature to its owner's hand.
- Offering allows you to partially pay for a spell by sacrificing a creature of a certain creature type, and lets the spell be played as an instant. This ability is used on five spirit creatures, the Patron spirits of five non-human species in Kamigawa.% 26nbsp;
- Heroes are creatures that, once a certain condition is met, flip over and become an entirely new creature.% 26nbsp;
- New costs for Splice onto Arcane - Splice onto Arcane abilities
now have nonmana costs. Also, one card, Minamo's Meddling, counters a
spell and whatever is spliced onto it is discarded.
* All cards are Mint/NM and in English unless otherwise specified.
