Kindred lands are lands associated with one tribe.
While not strictly kindred lands, Ancient Ziggurat and Hall of the Bandit Lord appear in kindred decks due to their support of creature spells in general. Underdome also is in a sense due to working with the subset of silver-bordered cards only.
Kindred mana production
5-color tribes
These lands produce one mana of any color, which can only be used to cast spells of a certain creature type that appears roughly evenly in all colors. Many of these lands have a utility component.
- Ally Encampment (Allies) can be sacrificed for
to return target Ally you control to its owner's hand. - Base Camp (All party classes)
- Crucible of the Spirit Dragon (Dragons) works as storage land.
- Haven of the Spirit Dragon (Dragons) can be sacrificed for
to return Dragon creature card or Ugin planeswalker card from your graveyard to your hand. - Mech Hangar (Vehicles and Pilots), also animates Vehicles for
. - Plaza of Heroes (Legendary) taps for colors once a legend is under your control, and for and exiling itself, it can give a target legendary creature hexproof and indestructible.
- Primal Beyond (Elementals) is also a kindred tapland.
- The Seedcore (for Phyrexians)
- Sliver Hive (Slivers) can produce Sliver token for
. - Voldaren Estate (Vampires) can create blood tokens for , discounted by each Vampire.
A subset of these are type-agnostic; they can name a creature type upon entry and gives a mana of any color for those.
- Cavern of Souls
- Secluded Courtyard also works on the abilities of creatures and creature cards of the chosen type.
- Unclaimed Territory
Wedge-color tribes
- Tournament Grounds (Knights) also works for Equipment.
Colorless tribes
Colorless tribes have lands that produce more colorless instead of the one mana of any color.
- Eldrazi Temple (colorless Eldrazi)
- Mishra's Workshop (Artifacts)
Kindred utility lands
The Onslaught set introduced a 5-card cycle of utility lands. Each land taps for 
and has an activated ability, tied to a tribe, with an activation cost that requires the color associated as well as a varying amount of generic mana.
- Daru Encampment (
; Soldiers) - Riptide Laboratory (
; Wizards) - Unholy Grotto (
; Zombies) - Goblin Burrows (
; Goblins) - Wirewood Lodge (
; Elves)
Some additional two-colored cards are using the same mechanic, but no full cycle.
- Seaside Haven (; Birds)
- Contested Cliffs (; Beasts)
- Starlit Sanctum (; Clerics)
Kindred taplands
Lorwyn block introduced an array of lands that came into the battlefield tapped unless its controller revealed a creature card of a certain creature type from hand. These lands do not follow a strict color cycle; they match the colors in which each tribe appeared.[1] Flamekin Village is not from Lorwyn block, but is from Lorwyn creatively and follows the templating.
- Rustic Clachan (; Kithkin)
- Wanderwine Hub (; Merfolk)
- Secluded Glen (; Faeries)
- Auntie's Hovel (; Goblins)
- Gilt-Leaf Palace (; Elves)
- Ancient Amphitheater (; Giants)
- Murmuring Bosk (; Treefolk) is a Forest and works like a pain land for the other two colors.
- Primal Beyond ( which can only pay for Elementals)
- Flamekin Village (; Elementals)
Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms introduced a variant where creature cards can be revealed from hand or can be controlled on the battlefield.
- Temple of the Dragon Queen (Mana of player's choice upon entering the battlefield; Dragons)
This variant was used again in The Brothers' War for a single land; it was not a part of a cycle.
Factories
Notably, the two factories which support the elusive Assembly-Worker tribe.
- Mishra's Factory is the first manland.
- Urza's Factory is one of Urza's lands.
Other kindred lands
Some other lands care about creature types but don't fall into a broader category. In general, they produce .
- Animal Sanctuary (Birds, Cats, Dogs, Goats, Oxen, Snakes)
- Blinkmoth Nexus (Blinkmoths) is also a manland
- Elephant Graveyard (Elephants)
- Eye of Ugin (Eldrazi) doesn't have a mana ability and is legendary
- Griffin Canyon (Griffins)
- Seraph Sanctuary (Angels)
- Swarmyard (Insects, Rats, Spiders, and Squirrels)
- Tomb of Urami (; Ogres) is legendary
