    Man that Goldmeadow Stalwart art hit me hard in the nostalgia. I didn't play much back then and hardly had any cards (and definitely didn't have money to buy cards) but I did somehow have one of those token/pack-filler/advertisement cards that was an advert for the upcoming Lorwyn set. It had the Stalwart art and it made Lorwyn look so captivating to adolescent me. I cherished that little piece of cardboard and it's probably the reason I remember Lorwyn so fondly even though I didn't play at all during that time

    With a Lorwyn set coming out early 2026, I really hope we get some more Kithkin support. Among the creature types actually dedicated to a tribal theme, Kithkin have been one of the most neglected.

      @@JasonOshinko LotR was wildly profitable and is still being sold in some stores. It's also easy to imagine that a tribal set like Lorwyn could piggyback on LotR's popularity and give the halfling creature type enough support to make it viable in different formats.

    Wizards released a poll if players would like to have kithkin become halflings. A slight majority of players voted No but I can see Wizards doing it anyway to align the upcoming Lorwyn set with the LotR and D&D sets.

However, they're not as important as making sure Magic becomes the Fortnight of analog games, so they're halflings now" -- Mark Rosewater during Return to Lorwyn preview season, probably

    Ahhh kithkin. I will say, I love their art. But I don't think I've ever played one. Not out of a dislike for them, but I don't recall any being that popular in EDH, or vintage for that matter. Speaking of which, I wonder if we can get "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" soon.

    Rundvelt Hordemaster is also a 2 mana lord, but for goblins with a slightly worse statline. However, it does also help you get more goblins by potentially replacing any of your goblins that die.

      @NizzahonMagic fair enough, but to your point there's also the vampire, soldier, rogue, and knight lords that are 2/2 for 2 mana. Those are just the most popular creatures type lords though, there's also lords for dogs, satyrs, fungus and saprolings, squirrels, enchantment creatures, clerics, and colorless creatures to name a few. It's certainly not a common thing, especially at the time the kithkin was printed, but wotc seems to be willing to print them more frequently now

    outlaws' merriment
    sandwurm convergience
    followed footsteps
    this is just naming some. i want what a top 10 list would be like. i brainstormed these up for a boardwipe deck that uses these to generate creatures, and also synergises with doubling season and contagion engine, and caretaker's talent, wrath of god, fumigate. since most of my creatures are generated from enchantments this means cards like fumigate will benefit me more than the opponent most of the time.

      Sadly, no: people hated them for being waaaaaay too overcosted, while the support was both rare and inefficient (like a single bue creature with EBT: "Put a single level counter on a single creature").
      Yeah, you can proliferate, but more than often you alre already paying twice the mana cost of a card + the proliferation for a very little effect.

      According to Mark Rosewater, Kithkin are the Magic universe version of the race so they are staying distinct. Halfling will refer to the D&D version (and Middle Earth).
