| Keywords introduced in this block: [[Champion]], [[Changeling]], [[Clash]], [[Evoke]], [[Hideaway]], [[Kinship]], [[Prowl]], and [[Reinforce]].<br>

| The race/class system is a major theme of this block. Each creature in the block belonged to one of the following nine creature types: [[Elementals|Elemental]], [[Elves|Elf]], [[Faeries|Faerie]], [[Giants|Giant]], [[Goblins|Goblin]], [[Kithkin]], [[Merfolk]], [[Shapeshifters|Shapeshifter]], and [[Treefolk]].

| ==Cycles==
| |
| *'''Mono-colored legends''' [[mega cycle]]: A cycle split between ''Lorwyn'' and ''Morningtide'', legendary mono-colored cards for the main protagonists of the ''[[Lorwyn]]'' and ''[[Morningtide]]'' novels {{-}} <c>Ashling the Pilgrim</c> and <c>Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile</c> from ''Lorwyn'' were joined by <c>Rhys the Exiled</c>, <c>Vendilion Clique</c> and <c>Maralen of the Mornsong</c> in ''Morningtide''.
| |
| *'''Rare changelings''' [[mega cycle]]: Each of these rare creatures, one for each color, has the [[shapeshifters|shapeshifter]] creature type and the [[changeling]] ability. <c>Mirror Entity</c>, <c>Shapesharer</c>, and <c>Cairn Wanderer</c> were printed in ''Lorwyn'', while ''Morningtide'' finished off the cycle with <c>Taurean Mauler</c> and <c>Chameleon Colossus</c>.
| |
| *'''Tribal lands''' [[mega cycle]]: Each of these lands comes into play tapped unless you reveal a card in your hand of a certain type; there was one for each of the block's eight tribes.
| |
| **The tribal lands from ''[[Lorwyn]]'' could each be tapped for either of its tribe's colors {{-}} <c>Ancient Amphitheater</c> (giants, red and white), <c>Auntie's Hovel</c> (goblins, red and black), <c>Gilt-Leaf Palace</c> (elves, green and black), <c>Secluded Glen</c> (faeries, blue and black), and <c>Wanderwine Hub</c> (merfolk, blue and white).
| |
| **The tribal lands from ''[[Morningtide]]'' had different abilities from the lands in the previous set but shared their "tribal untap" ability {{-}} <c>Murmuring Bosk</c> (treefolk, counts as a [[Forest]], can also be tapped for white or black mana at the cost of 1 damage), <c>Primal Beyond</c> (elementals, can be tapped for any color of mana but only to pay for elemental spells), and <c>Rustic Clachan</c> (kithkin, can be tapped only for white mana but has [[reinforce]]).
| |
| **Two cards, the common <c>Shimmering Grotto</c> and rare <c>Mutavault</c>, were associated with the changeling "tribe," but were not part of the cycle.
