Last Friday, I decided to tweak my Mono White Kithkins deck by splashing blue for Negate. The mono-white list was based on Daniel de Almeida Alves’ Kithkins list that got first place in GP Sao Paulo. Here’s my mono-white Kithkins list.

Mainboard
2 Mutavault
16 Plains
3 Rustic Clachan
4 Windbrisk Heights

3 Burrenton Forge-Tender
4 Cloudgoat Ranger
4 Figure of Destiny
4 Knight of Meadowgrain
4 Wizened Cenn
3 Ranger of Eos

1 Ajani Goldmane
4 Glorious Anthem
4 Path to Exile
4 Spectral Procession

This list earned me 3rd and 4th place in our local tournament the other week. Now with the blue-white list, I noticed the deck’s problem is a lot of mass removal spells which promptly nullifies the deck’s card advantage that’s why I think Negate would be the right answer. Also, I really wanted to try this list even before the Regionals but didn’t have the opportunity because the community switched to Alara block-constructed tournaments. Here is my version of blue-white kithkins:

Mainboard
4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Mystic Gate
11 Plains
2 Rustic Clachan
4 Windbrisk Heights

2 Burrenton Forge-Tender
4 Cloudgoat Ranger
4 Figure of Destiny
4 Knight of Meadowgrain
4 Wizened Cenn
2 Ranger of Eos

4 Glorious Anthem
3 Negate (secret tech)
4 Path to Exile
4 Spectral Procession

Sideboard
2 Burrenton Forge-Tender
2 Celestial Purge
2 Elspeth, Knight Errant
1 Negate
2 Oblivion Ring
1 Ranger of Eos
2 Reveillark
3 Wrath of God

I piloted the list on Saturday’s local tournament and here are the summary of the match-ups:

Round 1 – Jund Blood (Won 2-0)
Round 2 – Boat Brew (Lost 1-2)
Round 3 – 4 Color Control (Won 2-0)
Round 4 – Jund Midrange (Won 2-1)
Round 5 – Bant Crashers (Drew 1-1-1)

Top 8 – B/W Kithkins (Lost 1-2)

The Black-White Kithkins eventually became the champion of the tournament. A few highlights of my matchups include several negating of crucial spells like Infest, Blightning, and Zealous Persecution. Overall, I think the deck performed well despite of a few mana flooding which is probably because of my shuffling. Oh well, can’t avoid that.

I suggest you try the list and adjust the sideboard depending on your local meta. I’ll guarantee you will have fun with it. 🙂
