Not the most exciting of Kithkin, but a 2/1 for
one that helps the rest come out even faster is
always acceptable, right? And he helps Soldier
decks, so that's a plus as well.

Anything that reduces the cost to play anything
else is worth a look. Unfortunately for
Ballyrush Banneret, white decks (especially with
Kithkin) have more potential two-cost creatures
than they can handle. For an aggressive deck, he
doesn't really have anything to distinguish him
in a format full of Knight of Meadowgrain,
Cenn's Heir, Ronom Unicorn, Soltari Priest, and
Wizened Cenn. Pick him reasonably high for
limited, though: most changelings are good
enough that getting them a turn earlier does
make a difference (Chameleon Colossus,
anybody?).

The sad thing about this guy is that good
Kithkins tend to not have a lot of generic mana
symbols in their cost so this card doesn't have
a lot of use. It's still good for budget decks
though because this guy has 2 power and budget
Kithkins have more generic mana symbols on them
while costing more.

Friday's card
is Ballyrush Banneret. This guy is a two mana
creature that makes all your Soldiers and
Kithkins cost 1 less. This is great for Kithkins
and better for Soldiers, especially when you dip
into older sets like Onslaught and pull Daru
Warchief. I used to play a Soldier deck and my
Soldiers would've loved a cost reduction at turn
2. The banneret cards are great and with the
quality weenies and powerup cards in other
pools, this can be the best one possibly.

In constructed, Ballyrush Banneret loses out to
Knight of Meadowgrain and Wizened Cenn in the
two slot. At least half of the playable Kithkin
and Soldiers don’t have any colorless mana
requirements that could be reduced. In limited,
it is a quality two drop the also reduces your
changelings.
