Kindred Enchantment — Goblin2 generic manaRed mana

Goblins die well. That is the structural premise this enchantment is built on: a tribe that throws bodies at problems, fueled by sacrifice outlets and chump attacks, suddenly turns every casualty into a point of reach. The trigger reads "put into a graveyard from the battlefield," which is broader than dying in combat: tokens sacrificed for value, creatures fed to an outlet, Goblins that simply trade all funnel into the same drip of damage to a player or planeswalker. Stack enough of those triggers behind a sacrifice engine and the enchantment stops being incidental pinging and becomes the kill, converting a board of expendable Goblins into a burn finisher that closes games the tribe was already trying to win by overrunning. The design lineage is the aristocrats payoff before "aristocrats" was a deck name: a static engine that prices each individual creature's death at one damage, so the value comes from volume rather than from any single trigger. The targeting clause is what keeps it focused; it reaches faces and walkers but not creatures, so this is a damage tap aimed at ending games, not a board-control tool. Its job has always been the same: reward a Goblin player for the thing Goblins do anyway, which is die in large numbers, and make that attrition lethal on its own clock.
