"Find me cards equivalent to: Backslide"

Equivalent cards to Backslide (Instant, Blue, interacts with morph/face-down), include:

  • Break Through the Line: Not equivalent, but cares about creatures with power 2 or less (similar to most face-down creatures).
  • Ixidron: Not an Instant, but mass face-down effect.
  • Sudden Spoiling: Changes creatures' states, but not strictly to face-down.

Closest equivalent: There are no other exact Instants that specifically turn morph creatures face down with Cycling in blue. Backslide is unique in this effect. For morph support, check Master of the Veil (creature) or Crystal Spray (cantrips, not morph-specific).


Reason: Morph manipulation is rarely instant-speed and usually tied to blue, so direct equivalents are extremely limited.

  • If the creature’s power is greater than 2 as the activated ability tries to resolve, the ability won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. However, if the creature’s power is raised above 2 after the ability resolves, it will still have haste and can’t be blocked that turn.

    Rules

  • Alters all occurrences of the chosen word in the text box and the type line of the given card.
  • Can target a card with no appropriate words on it, or even one with no words at all.
  • Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.
  • If you change the text of a spell which is to become a permanent, the permanent will retain the text change until the effect wears off.
  • It can be used to change a land’s type from one basic land type to another. For example, Forest can be changed to Island so it produces blue mana. It doesn’t change the name of any permanent.
  • It can’t change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
  • It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.
  • You can’t change proper nouns (i.e. card names) such as “Island Fish Jasconius”.
  • You choose the words to change on resolution.

    Rules

  • If Ixidron and another creature are entering at the same time, the other creature enters face up.
  • The controller of a face-down creature can look at it at any time, even if it doesn't have morph. Other players can't, but the rules for face-down permanents state that "you must ensure at all times that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other." As a result, all players must be able to figure out what each of the creatures Ixidron turned face down is.
  • Turning a face-down creature face-down typically has no effect; the creature's status is unchanged.
  • You turn the creatures face-down *as* Ixidron enters. There is never a moment when Ixidron is on the battlefield and the creatures are face-up. If a creature on the battlefield has a "whenever another creature enters" ability, it won't trigger because that creature will be face down before Ixidron enters.
  • Creatures turned face down by Ixidron are 2/2 creatures with no text, no name, no subtypes, no expansion symbol, and no mana cost. These values are copiable if an object becomes a copy of one of those creatures, and their normal values are not copiable.

    As this creature enters, turn all other nontoken creatures face down. (They're 2/2 creatures.) Ixidron's power and toughness are each equal to the number of face-down creatures on the battlefield.

    Rules

  • After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
  • Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
  • If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can't be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
  • Split second doesn't stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
  • Sudden Spoiling affects only creatures the target player controls at the time it resolves. Creatures they begin to control later in the turn won't change power and toughness or lose abilities.
  • Sudden Spoiling overwrites any effects that set a creature's power and toughness. Any existing effects or counters that raise, lower, or switch a creature's power and/or toughness continue to apply to the creature's newly-set power and toughness.
