Eclipsed Kithkin enters invisible to your opponents — it can't be blocked or targeted by them until you attack with it, which is a genuinely disruptive static effect on a creature that costs two mana. Outside of Brigid, Clachan's Heart Kithkin tribal, that effect rarely lines up with what a deck is trying to accomplish.

Brigid, Clachan's Heart
Brigid, Clachan's Heart cares about a critical mass of Kithkin, and Eclipsed Kithkin is one of the tribe's few evasion pieces — its pseudo-unblockable clause lets it connect for damage or trigger attack-based payoffs before opponents can react.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Eclipsed Kithkin is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Standard, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In 60-card formats the effect is too passive — opponents can simply wait until it attacks, then answer it at instant speed, and a 2/1 body doesn't compensate for that fragility. Commander is where it sees the most play, exclusively in Kithkin tribal shells where Brigid, Clachan's Heart wants every on-tribe body it can get. Even there, it's a role-player, not a cornerstone.

Price Context
Current price
$0.20 bulk tier
At $0.20, Eclipsed Kithkin is firmly bulk — a pick-up that costs nothing and asks nothing in return. Bulk tribal pieces at this price rarely move unless the tribe gets a major new commander, so grab it if you're building Kithkin and don't expect the price to matter either direction.
