Kindred Sorcery — Elemental

Create a token that's a copy of target creature you control, except it has haste and "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this token."

Flashback—{1}{R}, Behold three Elementals. (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it. To behold an Elemental, choose an Elemental you control or reveal an Elemental card from your hand.)

  • If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

  • Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Morcant's Eyes is an Elf (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Elf card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.

  • If a card in your hand is already revealed (perhaps because it was revealed to pay a cost of a spell that's still on the stack or due to the effect of a card like Telepathy), you may reveal it again to pay the cost of another spell or ability that requires you to reveal a card from your hand.

  • Some older cards were originally printed with the "tribal" card type. That card type has been replaced with "kindred." This change does not affect the gameplay function of these cards.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • If an effect refers to a "[subtype] card," it refers only to a card that has that subtype. For example, Glen Elendra's Answer creates a Faerie token and features a Faerie in its art, but it isn't a Faerie card.

  • If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters as whatever that creature copied, with the listed exceptions.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • If the copied creature is a token, the token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token, with the listed exceptions.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • If a cost to cast a spell includes revealing a card, that card remains revealed from the time the spell is announced until the time it leaves the stack.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • The token created by Kindle the Inner Flame copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else, with the listed exceptions (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • To behold three Elementals, you can reveal three Elemental cards from your hand, choose three Elementals you control on the battlefield, or reveal and choose any combination that adds up to three. You can't behold the same object more than once to pay this cost.

  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • 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.

    Nov 17, 2025 · Wizards of the Coast
  • Any enters abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the copied creature will also work.
