Go-Shintai of Hidden Cruelty
Oracle Text
Deathtouch
At the beginning of your end step, you may pay {1}. When you do, destroy target creature with toughness X or less, where X is the number of Shrines you control.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Go-Shintai of Hidden Cruelty fits best in a value-oriented control or midrange Shrine deck, where its steady end-step trigger turns board presence into repeatable removal. As a 2/2 deathtouch Shrine, it already discourages attacks and trades up in combat, but the real strength is the scaling destroy effect: once you have several Shrines on the battlefield, it can pick off larger and larger creatures for just one extra mana. In Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty terms, it feels like a lurking shrine-spirit that punishes enemies from the shadows rather than winning through brute force. Build around it with other Shrines to raise X quickly, and prioritize enchantment ramp or card selection to keep the engine online. It also pairs well with blink or recursion effects only indirectly, since repeated Shrine density matters more than reusing a single body.
