Morningtide (MOR) #58 · Rare · Kindred Enchantment — Faerie
Mana cost: {1}{B}
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and create a 1/1 black Faerie Rogue creature token with flying.
In Lorwyn's brief evenings, the sun pauses at the horizon long enough for a certain species of violet to bloom with the fragrance of mischief.

Rulings
- 2008-04-01 · wotc — The effect is mandatory. You'll lose 1 life even if you have only 1 life left.
- 2008-04-01 · wotc — The life loss isn't a payment. You'll get a token even if you had 0 life (and another effect is stopping you from losing the game).
- 2024-06-07 · wotc — While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.
- 2024-06-07 · wotc — Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.
- 2024-06-07 · wotc — This cards was originally printed with the "tribal" card type. That card type has been replaced with "kindred". This change does not affect the gameplay function of this card.
