Soratami
Native to Kamigawa. The Moonfolk, a beautiful, cloud-dwelling race of long-eared, blue-skinned humanoids, are one of the most hermetic and mysterious races on the plane. They are highly manipulative, and detest the other races to the point that if an outsider were even to set foot in one of their sky palaces it would be taken as an insult. The Soratami are accomplished telepaths and mirror-mages whose patron Kami is Mochi, the Kami of the Crescent Moon. Despite their seclusion, the Soratami are allies of both the Minamo school and Eiganjo Castle. The Soratami had a hand in the sparking of the Kami War, by helping the human Lord of Eiganjo, Konda, kidnap a vital spirit from the Kami realm. In reality, they hoped to bring the wrath of the Kami world against Konda, thus eliminating the most powerful nation on Kamigawa and allowing them to rule in its place. Two decades into the war their plans started to unravel, with Mochi failing to manipulate the ronin Toshiro Umezawa as needed. Toshiro stole the captive Kami from Eiganjo, forcing the Soratami to mount a disastrous invasion of the Jukai Forest. The captive Kami was soon freed and the war ended without the Soratami succeeding.
The word "Soratami" comes from the Japanese 'sora' meaning 'sky' and 'tami' meaning 'race' or 'society'. The Soratami's long ears are an allusion to the Japanese children's myth of the rabbit in the moon. In the game, the Moonfolk all have the ability to fly, and also generally require their controller to return land cards to hand in exchange for different effects. As this is typically a costly demand, few moonfolk were featured in high-level tournament decks. An exception was Meloku the Clouded Mirror, whose ability to exchange lands for a small army proved to be extremely potent.
