Kithkin Greatheart is a 2/1 first striker for one white mana that grows to a 3/2 whenever you control a Giant — playable rate on the base body, genuine upside in the right shell. Outside of dedicated Giant tribal, it's a vanilla 2/1 with a condition you'll rarely meet.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |

| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Kithkin Greatheart is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker. In Pauper it's a passable one-drop for white aggressive lists that can trigger the Giant bonus, though white weenie has cleaner one-drops that don't ask for tribal support. In Legacy and Vintage the bar is simply too high — first strike on a 2/1 doesn't compete. Commander is the format where the Giant clause matters most: Auntie Blyte, Bad Influence and similar Giant-tribal commanders can activate the pump consistently, making Kithkin Greatheart a cheap curve-filler worth considering in those builds.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Kithkin Greatheart is deep bulk — the kind of card you pull from a common box rather than buy. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is abundant; don't expect movement in either direction.
