Banner of Kinship
Banner of Kinship rewards tribal builds that commit to a creature type. When Banner of Kinship enters the battlefield you choose a creature type and it enters with a fellowship counter on it for each creature you control of that type. That means a single play can instantly turn a handful of matching creatures into a growing anthem that scales as you refill the board.
In practice Banner of Kinship functions as both early boost and long term payoff. It costs {5} to cast so it fits midgame slots where you already have a board presence. Creatures you control of the chosen type get +1/+1 for each fellowship counter on the artifact, so decks that generate tokens or populate the battlefield will see exponential value. This card plays cleanly in creature-led archetypes and pairs well with blink, token doubling, and reanimation lines.
