Rulings

The effect is mandatory. You'll lose 1 life even if you have only 1 life left.


(01/04/2008)
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).

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.


(07/06/2024)
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.


(07/06/2024)
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.
