Townsfolk is an acorn job for Humans with no specific occupation. It was previously used on eternal-legal cards before being removed in the Grand Creature Type Update.

History

Townsfolk was introduced in Fallen Empires. Most Townsfolk have since had their class changed to something more appropriate (for instance, Anarchist was once a Townsfolk but is now a Wizard), or are now simply humans without a class (such as Treasure Hunter). Mark Rosewater later considered its removal a mistake.[1]

The only cards with the creature type still are from Unglued.

Citizen, Peasant[2] and Serf are similar in theme.
