Concord with the Kami is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
At the beginning of your end step, choose one or more — • Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature with a counter on it. • Draw a card if you control an enchanted creature. • Create a 1/1 colorless Spirit creature token if you control an equipped creature.
Complete guide
Concord with the Kami is a versatile green enchantment that rewards you for diversifying your board state. By utilizing counters, Auras, and Equipment, you can unlock multiple powerful benefits at every one of your end steps. It is a fantastic engine for decks looking to generate continuous card advantage and board presence.
Choosing Your Modes
When your end step begins, Concord with the Kami triggers, and you choose which modes to use. You can select any combination of the three modes as long as you can provide a legal target for the first mode. Note that while you must have a creature with a counter on it to select the first mode, you can select the second and third modes even if you do not currently control an enchanted or equipped creature.
The Resolution Sequence
The ability resolves in the order printed on the card. First, the +1/+1 counter is placed on the target creature. Next, the game checks if you control an enchanted creature; if you do, you draw a card. Finally, the game checks if you control an equipped creature; if so, you create a 1/1 colorless Spirit creature token. The requirements for drawing and token creation are checked only during resolution.
A Crucial Targeting Rule
A common mistake involves the first mode. Because this mode requires a target, the entire ability depends on that target remaining legal. If you choose the first mode and the target creature leaves the battlefield or gains protection before the ability resolves, the entire ability is removed from the stack. You will not draw a card or create a Spirit token, even if those modes were also selected.
Interaction examples
Concord with the Kami
Doubling SeasonWith Doubling Season on the battlefield, the rewards from Concord with the Kami are significantly amplified. If you target a creature with the first mode, it receives two +1/+1 counters instead of one. If you control an equipped creature for the third mode, you will create two 1/1 Spirit creature tokens instead of one.
Garruk's UprisingSuppose you control a creature with 4 power that is currently equipped. At your end step, Concord with the Kami triggers and you choose the third mode. When the ability resolves, you create a 1/1 Spirit token. While the token doesn't trigger Garruk's Uprising, if you had used the first mode to boost a 3-power creature to 4 power earlier, Garruk's Uprising would provide constant trample to all your newly created Spirits.
