This is a Kithkin tribal deck focused around the Tribal - Kithkn cards and Kithkin that help other Kithkin. Kithkin are the human stand in tribe of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor and as such are in all five colors but we'll only be using White, the featured color of Kithkin as indicated by their tribal land Rustic Clachan , and Green as it provides ramp and access to a couple more Kithkin and a Kithkin Ally. The main line of play for the deck is to amass a Kithkin Cenn and use it to overrun via numbers and Door of Destinies , a general agro strat.

Why Gaddock Teeg?

The only other Kikthin Legend is a mono White Archer that while useful within the 99, isn't a very good Commander. Gaddock Teeg is famed as an amazing hatebear general and rigthly so. His abilities grant you stax effects that can help even out the tide of battle with your lower power Kithkin army.

Goats? In my pod?

What is a Kithkin Cenn without its Springjacks? Nothing! I've included as many goat related cards and was (still am) concidering Pathbreaker Ibex for the deck as a win-con. Springjack Pasture , Springjack Shepherd and Trading Post however are the only ones I'm including for now. They're mostly for mana generation and fodder for Trading post but a good number of goats will serve to deter attacks.

Kitkin Tribal and Pay Off Cards

Lorwyn/Shadowmor is famed for its tribal cycles; each of the major tribes (Aside from Changlings aka Shapeshifters) got a Harbinger, a tutor for their tribe, a 'lord' effect of +1/+1 and sometimes more five tribes got one of the Bannerets that reduced the cost of their tribe's (slash class's) spells by one. Their Lord is Wizened Cenn , an early drop. Their Harbinger is Kithkin Harbinger a no frills three drop tutor (ouch) but in White Green we can run some better, if not as flexable, tutors. Ballyrush Banneret makes casting Kithkin Spells cheaper, and Soldiers but more on them later, to enable some swarming. There are both 'Champion' Kithkin and Kinship Kithkin cards, Thoughtweft Trio and Kithkin Zephyrnaut . Cenn's Heir , Cloudgoat Ranger , Kithkin Rabble and Kinsbaile Borderguard become huge beaters with a critical mass of Kithkin tokens produced by Cenn's Enlistment and Militia's Pride . You can get a cheap beater on turn one because of always having Kithkin in hand in the form of Goldmeadow Stalwart . There is a tribal sac outlet; Guardian of Cloverdell . Goldmeadow Lookout makes token copies of Goldmeadow Harrier . The last tribal card the Kithkin have is Surge of Thoughtweft , a board-wide pump and replaces itself if you control a Kithkin, most useful for the conter it places on Door of Destinies .

Questionable Kithkin

While this deck may have some card draw issues, Kithkin Mourncaller probably won't be the thing to fix it but it may help. Somehow. Since we're running one Gaint in Cloudgoat Ranger , running his buddy Kithkin Greatheart won't be too bad. I'll be honest I just like Galepowder Mage .

Back to the Soldiers

Many, many, many of the Kithkin I've already mentioned are soldiers and there are a few Kithkin that'd slide right in helping them out, Cenn's Tactician and Preeminent Captain . Kithkin are the traditional Soldiers of Lorywn after all.

Thoughts

I have yet to build this deck in paper and as such I don't know how to improve it as of yet.
