Bitterblossom (Modern Masters 2015 #71)

Bitterblossom {1}{B}

Kindred Enchantment — Faerie

At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and create a 1/1 black Faerie Rogue creature token with flying.

In Lorwyn’s brief evenings, the sun pauses at the horizon long enough for a certain species of violet to bloom with the fragrance of mischief.

Notes and Rules Information for Bitterblossom:
  • The effect is mandatory. You'll lose 1 life even if you have only 1 life left. (2008-04-01)
  • 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). (2008-04-01)
  • 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. (2024-06-07)
  • 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. (2024-06-07)
  • 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. (2024-06-07)
