Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (5).
- 2024-06-07This 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.
- 2024-06-07Kindred 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.
- 2024-06-07While 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.
- 2008-04-01The effect is mandatory. You'll lose 1 life even if you have only 1 life left.
- 2008-04-01The 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).
