Shrine (Japanese: さい殿でん; rōmaji: saiden) is an enchantment subtype.

Description

Shrines encourage multicolor decks, because they are all legendary, and do something during your upkeep for each shrine you control.

History

Shrines were introduced in Champions of Kamigawa. There were five shrines printed in as an uncommon cycle of Hondens. A Honden is actually the inner part of the shrine to a kami. The name of each Honden corresponds to the name of a legendary spirit—Myojin—in the set.[1]

Many years later, Core Set 2021 featured six new Shrines named Sanctums.[2] These were also depicted on Kamigawa.
