Kindle

Kindle is a slang term used by Magic R&D to describe the spells that look at the graveyard for other copies, getting increasingly stronger dependent on the number of those copies. First seen on the eponymous <c>Kindle</c>, the effect was designed by Mark Rosewater to be a non-creature version of <c>Plague Rats</c>. This design of card tends to appear at least once each time a cycle of common "collect them all" type cards are printed, such as in Magic Origins and Core Set 2020.
