Kamigawa Block Highlander

Early yesterday morning:
[02:10] SummenSaugen: hana kami is so sweet
[02:10] Jacob 0rlove: yes
[02:10] SummenSaugen: I'm going to play one in my highlander sideboard just because it's awesome
[02:10] Jacob 0rlove: I built a hana kami deck for someone in the casual forum
[02:10] Jacob 0rlove: he wanted a kamigawa block peasant control deck
[02:10] SummenSaugen: haha
[02:10] SummenSaugen: that's easy
[02:10] SummenSaugen: r/g arcane
[02:10] Jacob 0rlove: he was trying to use dampen thought to power up ire of kaminari
[02:11] Jacob 0rlove: I suggested a G/B/r deck
[02:11] Jacob 0rlove: because kami/soulless revival goes infinite, kinda
[02:11] SummenSaugen: haha, that's cute
[02:11] Jacob 0rlove: and you get hideous laughter
[02:11] SummenSaugen: I really like any kamigawa block format
[02:11] Jacob 0rlove: yeah, it's so solid
[02:11] SummenSaugen: the kamigawa t4 was brilliant
[02:12] SummenSaugen: kamigawa highlander might be neat
[02:12] SummenSaugen: I'll have to look in to that
(random stuff about my T4 stack)
[02:13] SummenSaugen: but oh man
[02:13] SummenSaugen: Kamigawa highlander
[02:13] SummenSaugen: I have to try that
[02:13] Jacob 0rlove: actually yeah
[02:14] Jacob 0rlove: and I have basically a set
[02:14] Jacob 0rlove: so I'm totally down for it

While Kowal was busy building some random multicolor aggro decklist, I refined the following:

1 Genju of the Realm (8/12 laughs at your 7/10)

1 Sakura-Tribe Elder (duh)
1 Kodama's Reach (duh)
1 Orochi Leafcaller (surprisingly redundant)
1 Journeyer's Kite (savagely good)
1 Orochi Sustainer (my good cards cost 6)
1 Honor-Worn Shaku (shrines tap for mana!)
1 Budoka Gardener (broken with Kite)

1 Honden of Seeing Winds (hondens are good)
1 Meloku the Clouded Mirror (bomb)
1 Keiga, the Tide Star (bomb)
1 Gifts Ungiven (extra easy to use in highlander)
1 Hisoka's Defiance (everyone will have to run some spiritcraft)
1 Soratami Cloudskater (avoids lategame stalls)
1 Petals of Insight (bad Concentrate)

1 Rend Flesh (kills most stuff)
1 Rend Spirit (kills everything else)
1 Scuttling Death (flexible)
(the black honden is terrible)

1 Honden of Infinite Rage (hondens are good)
1 Glacial Ray (duh)
1 Yamabushi's Flame (and it RFGs)
1 Blind With Anger (kills two guys)

1 Honden of Cleansing Fire (hondens are good)
1 Reciprocate (one mana!)
1 Cage of Hands (stops early attacks and lategame fatties)
1 Kami of Old Stone (like a wall, but bigger)
1 Kami of Ancient Law (trades with everything but artifacts)
1 Kitsune Blademaster (mostly defensive)
1 Terashi's Verdict (two mana!)

1 Honden of Life's Web (hondens are good)
1 Matsu-Tribe Decoy (mostly defensive)
1 Wear Away (just in case)
1 Sosuke, Son of Seshiro (mostly defensive)

1 Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang (bomb)
1 Sensei's Divining Top (hot)

1 Minamo, School at Water's Edge
1 Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
1 Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep
1 Shizo, Death's Storehouse
1 Eiganjo Castle
1 Lantern-Lit Graveyard
1 Waterveil Cavern
1 Tranquil Garden
1 Cloudcrest Lake
1 Pinecrest Ridge
1 Tendo Ice Bridge (proxy)
6 Forest
4 Plains
2 Island
1 Mountain
1 Swamp

The basic idea is to spend the early turns fixing my mana and playing defensive creatures/removal spells, and then just play something huge, or a couple hondens. Since this is highlander, people who want to play more consistent decks will have to sacrifice a fair amount of power (although there are some strong double mana spells that I can't run, especially in black).

The best part about this deck is how few duplicate basic lands I have to run.

If anyone wants to offer suggestions on my build, that's cool, but I'd also like to see what other decks people can come up with for this format.
