'''Kithkin''' are quick and agile race of small humanoids. They are about four-and-a-half feet tall; their distinguishing characteristics are their brown hair, large noses, and feet covered in light hair. Kithkin place great importance in community and are highly cooperative in battle, and are known for their simplicity and forthrightness. Kithkin cards typically make use of various evasion abilities, such as avoiding more powerful creatures or tapping potential blockers.

'''Textless''' refers to cards without any text and use the whole card frame for the artwork (i.e. missing a [[text box]]). Textless cards are given out by the [[DCI]] as part of the [[Magic Player Rewards]] program and are tournament legal. All of these such promotional cards are instant or sorcery cards.

Additionally the [[Un-sets]] and ''[[Zendikar]]'' feature textless [[basic land]]s and ''[[Future Sight]]'' has a [[cycle]] of textless [[vanilla]] creatures. These have been officially referred to as "full frame"<ref>{{MTGref|mr277|Timeshift After Timeshift|Mark Rosewater|Monday, April 30, 2007}}</ref>, not to be confused with [[full-art]] cards from [[Champs]].
The kithkin of [[Dominaria]] once lived in an idyllic country called [[Amrou Haven]], but after the [[Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria|Apocalypse]], their home was destroyed. The kithkin remained in their ancestral home, eking out a meager existence on the dusty [[plains]] of the ruined paradise. After the restoration of Dominaria, the kithkin set about the long task of restoring their homeland.

Textless spells are allowed in DCI-sanctioned Magic tournaments. However, the card(s) must otherwise be legal to play in that tournament’s format.
Originally they were named hobbits, as can be seen in their hairy feet, but the name was changed to avoid conflict with J. R. R. Tolkien's estate.<ref>Quinton Hoover, artist of the first representant of this race <c>Amrou Kithkin</c>, confirmed this information [http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=9402660&postcount=65 here]. </ref> Kithkin are a little taller than hobbits, though, nor do they frequently go barefoot, enjoy pipeweed, or place as much pride in their gardening skills as hobbits.

TextlessDisenchant

Textless refers to cards without any text and use the whole card frame for the artwork (i.e. missing a text box). Textless cards are given out by the DCI as part of the Magic Player Rewards program and are tournament legal. All of these such promotional cards are instant or sorcery cards.

Additionally the Un-sets and Zendikar feature textless basic lands and Future Sight has a cycle of textless vanilla creatures. These have been officially referred to as "full frame"[1], not to be confused with full-art cards from Champs.

Textless spells are allowed in DCI-sanctioned Magic tournaments. However, the card(s) must otherwise be legal to play in that tournament’s format.
