Creature — Kithkin SoldierGreen manaWhite mana

Kithkin have always been a tribe about width and shared status: the more of them on the battlefield, the better each one gets. This design inverts that instinct. Every Kithkin that arrives, including itself, doesn't lift the whole go-wide board; it funnels a single +1/+1 and trample onto one creature you choose. That target restriction is the interesting choice. A tribe built to swarm now has an engine that rewards concentration, letting you stack multiple triggers onto one attacker in a turn where three or four Kithkin hit the battlefield together. Trample earns the design its teeth: a two-drop that generates repeated buffs on a wide board runs straight into chump blockers, and the keyword answers exactly that, letting the fed creature push its excess damage past a single blocker rather than have it soaked. The stacking is where the real threat lives, since the triggers are cumulative across a single turn and each one carries its own trample grant, so a flurry of cheap creatures can turn one chosen attacker into a lethal threat even against a defensible board: chump-block it and the surplus damage still lands. It asks a go-wide deck to sometimes think tall, picking the one creature worth feeding while the rest apply pressure.
