Thoughtweft Lieutenant pumps every Kithkin you control and protects your whole board from targeted removal — on the battlefield, that's a two-for-one that demands an answer. The cost is tribal lock-in: outside a dedicated Kithkin shell, this does nothing.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Brigid, Clachan's Heart
Brigid, Clachan's Heart runs a Kithkin-tribal engine where anthem effects stack and board protection matters every turn, making Thoughtweft Lieutenant a near-automatic inclusion — nearly half of all Brigid decks already run it.
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 |
Thoughtweft Lieutenant is legal across every major constructed format, but it sees almost no competitive play outside Commander — Kithkin tribal has never had the density or power to compete in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer. In Commander, it's a role-player in dedicated Kithkin builds and mostly irrelevant everywhere else. If you're running Brigid, Clachan's Heart or another Kithkin-centric commander, it earns its slot; in any other shell, it's a blank.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Thoughtweft Lieutenant is deep bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card with a narrow tribal application. Bulk tribal pieces like this rarely move in price unless the archetype gets a high-profile reprint or a breakout new commander, so don't expect appreciation.
