Kindred Sorcery — Goblin1 generic manaBlack mana

Edict effects respect their target's choice by design: the opponent feeds you their worst body, and the disruption is diffuse rather than surgical. What makes this one strange is the rider, which inverts the whole transaction depending on who pulls the trigger. Pointed at an opponent, it is plain forced sacrifice, fine and unremarkable. Pointed at yourself, the Goblin clause flips it inside out: feed it one of your own Goblins and it hands back two hasty tokens, converting a single creature into an immediate two-body swing. That self-targeting line is the cleverness, because the card asks two opposite questions from one slot. Against a board with no Goblins, it is forced sacrifice that defers the choice to your opponent; among a tribe that wants creatures dying and bodies arriving, it becomes a sacrifice-and-multiply outlet that thins your weakest Goblin while widening the board. The haste detail does more work than it reads: the two tokens are not next turn's investment but this turn's attackers, so the sacrifice and its payoff resolve into the same combat step. The line it rewards is the one most edicts never offer: answering "whose Goblin am I killing" with "mine, on purpose."
