"Find me cards equivalent to: Ensnared by the Mara"

Equivalent cards (same color and similar effects/self-mill, damage, or choice effects):

  • Ensnared by the Mara (original card)
  • Risk Factor – Red, Sorcery (and Jump-start). Opponent chooses to take damage or let you draw (villainous choice).
  • Breaking Point – Red, Sorcery. Opponent chooses to sacrifice creatures or take damage.
  • Game of Chaos – Red, Sorcery. Chaotic choices that hurt opponents.
  • Expropriate is similar but blue, not red (not same color).


Reason: No exact red equivalent for self-exiling opponent’s cards + casting them, but listed cards have similar villainous choice mechanics in red, and/or include damage based on choice.

    Rules

  • A player facing a villainous choice can always choose either option, even if one or both of the options are impossible. For example, if one of the options is to sacrifice a creature, a player who controls no creatures can still choose that option.
  • If a spell or ability requires multiple players to face a villainous choice, the result is a little different from other effects in Magic. In that case, the first player in turn order makes their choice and the action for that choice is performed before the next player makes their choice. Then each of the remaining players repeat this process in turn order.
  • The opponent chooses whether to exile cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card or to exile the top four cards of their library. They don't choose whether you cast the cards exiled by the first option.
  • When a player faces a villainous choice, they first choose one of the two options, then all actions in the chosen option are performed.

    Each opponent faces a villainous choice — They exile cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card, then you may cast that card without paying its mana cost, or that player exiles the top four cards of their library and Ensnared by the Mara deals damage equal to the total mana value of those exiled cards to that player.

  • Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Players can't do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.
  • The effects of each council's dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
  • Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council's dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
  • You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
  • Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain.
  • No player votes until Expropriate resolves. Any responses to the spell must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Votes are cast in turn order, and each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

    Council's dilemma — Starting with you, each player votes for time or money. For each time vote, take an extra turn after this one. For each money vote, choose a permanent owned by the voter and gain control of it. Exile Expropriate.

  • A spell cast using jump-start will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with jump-start is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.
  • If an effect allows you to pay an alternative cost rather than a spell's mana cost, you may pay that alternative cost when you jump-start a spell. You'll still discard a card as an additional cost to cast it.
  • If the target player is an illegal target by the time Risk Factor tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't draw three cards.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions when casting a spell with jump-start, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using jump-start only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
