This deck is designed to play every character from the Kamigawa books on a card in this deck and any cards from the block that enhance the flavor. Genju of the Realm allows it to be the necessary 5-colors while being a Kamigawa card itself. Still waiting for key characters from the story to get cards, but it's my goal to have included every character on a card so far in this deck. It's meant to play out the story from the trilogy of novels, which are my favorite MTG story. Cards can only be from the Kamigawa block and preference is given to characters from the book. I play Basics to have the panoramic effect.
I'm considering a copy of each Kamigawa dual land.
So, how does it play? It looks incredibly flavorful, but not very powerful. Do you find that you get blown out before anything cool can happen? What kind of decks are in your local meta?

I've made minor character edits to the deck which I will update in a moment. Needed to add a few thematic cards.
I haven't had a chance to play it as much as I would like, so I will update you when I can. I will tell you now it is not powerful nor is it designed to be. But thematic decks like this that I build can win by being the last standing, and have. The cards I cast are rarely threatening and don't interfere with the board so often I can be ignored. Then, before you know it, I have Spirit dragons and a few powerful legends and take someone out quick. So it can be sneaky in a fun way. My locals is a great group. We have casual and crazy decks so when I play this we agree to play our fun decks. If it's a cutthroat game I'll use Azami but more often than not we just mess around with cool cards we all like.
Updated deck to O-Kagachi as general, added in missing characters.
Anything which depicts, alludes to or references a mention location or character from the books is included, including relevant storyline moment cards.
I wish I had room for a few off characters like Azami, Kumano, Azusa, etc. But with as many cards as this theme requires, something not directly in the novels had to be cut. I think Ryusei and Kokusho are the only non-novel cards in the deck, just to complete the cycle. I may remove them for more lands.
