Kindred lands are lands associated with a subtype.
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-colored creature types
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-colored subtypes
- Tournament Grounds (Knights) also works for Equipment.
Colorless
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 subtype, 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 creature type 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-Workers.
- 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
