Kellan, the Kid — Quickdraw Faerie with a Plan
Kellan, the Kid is a compact engine piece for players who value timing and resource agility. This Legendary Creature moves the game forward when you cast spells from unusual zones. As a 3/3 Human Faerie Rogue with flying and lifelink, Kellan trades incremental damage for steady life gain while giving you access to surprise plays that bypass mana costs. The card rewards spellslinger lines and decks built to cast things from exile, the graveyard, or other nonhand places.
In practical play Kellan, the Kid enables both ramp and tempo. When you resolve an offhand spell the card lets you cheat a permanent into play from your hand at equal or lesser mana value without paying its cost. If you choose not to take that route you still get value by placing a land from hand onto the battlefield. The effect pairs well with reincarnation, flashback, and exile recursion strategies. Use Kellan to close the gap between setup and finish without overcomplicating your sequencing.
