Rationale

5cmc enchantment that chooses a creature type on entry, then draws a card whenever a creature of that type enters or attacks. A defining tribal draw engine — any tribal deck that goes wide floods into cards, making it a premier inclusion in virtually every blue-inclusive creature-type build. Requires tribe density to get value; dead without creatures of the chosen type.

Learnings (3)

  • Kindred Discovery triggers on BOTH entering AND attacking, so even a single tribal creature attacking each turn generates one draw — it doesn't require going wide to produce steady value, just consistent combat.

  • The 'enters' trigger means creature-heavy flicker or blink builds with a shared tribe can draw multiple cards per turn cycle, making it quietly synergistic in blink shells with a chosen creature type.

  • The UU pip requirement makes this hard to cast in 3+ color tribal decks not built around blue, despite being generically powerful — color-locked risk is real in 4-5 color tribal builds.
