Kindred Charge

Description

Identified by card number 27 and set code C17, this rare card offers a unique mechanical advantage by allowing players to amplify their board presence instantly. Designed by Dan Murayama Scott, the card captures the chaotic energy of creature swarms through its rules text and flavor. As a six-mana sorcery, Kindred Charge requires players to select a specific creature type they control. The card then generates a token copy of each creature of that chosen type, granting them haste. This means the tokens can attack immediately, providing significant pressure before being exiled at the beginning of the next end step. This temporary but potent burst of force makes it particularly effective for strategies relying on high numbers of tokens, such as goblin decks, where the flavor text suggests that quantity is indeed quality. The card’s ability to double or triple an existing army in a single turn creates memorable gameplay moments, whether in casual Commander games or other formats where it may be legal. Its inclusion in the Commander 2017 product highlights Wizards of the Coast's focus on interactive and dramatic spells that define the singleton experience. For those looking to complete their collection, finding a copy of Kindred Charge adds a powerful tool to any red-based creature strategy. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the creative spirit of the Commander series, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional power. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or new to the trading card game, Kindred Charge represents a key piece for anyone interested in the tactical nuances of Magic: The Gathering.
