The Kithkin deck makes plenty of weenies, but
lacks in the big creature department. This
solves that problem. And your opponent can't
very well solve this problem, since when it
dies, it leaves tokens behind. It not only
allows good recovery from a board wipe, it may
even encourage you to wipe the board yourself.

When I first saw this card, it reminded me of
Promise of Bunrei, a relatively mild-looking
card that ended up making a huge splash in
constructed play. The thing about Kinsbaile
Borderguard is that it doesn't have a big effect
unless you already have a bunch of Kithkin on
the table. If you don't, it basically does
nothing. It's not going to revive Ghost Husk,
but it's a reasonable insurance against Wrath of
God for dedicated Kithkin decks.

I think that this will be the card that might
allow aggro kithkin decks to show their stuff. A
third turn play that may come out as a 3/3 and
further allow for 3 more 1/1's when it hits the
yard. The fact that the 1/1's are soldiers
cannot be overlooked as well as their are quite
a few good soldier effects around.
Constructed: 3 in block, 2 otherwise
