"Find me cards equivalent to: Gideon's Intervention"

Equivalent cards to Gideon's Intervention (White enchantments that name a card and restrict it):

  • Nevermore — Also an enchantment that lets you choose a card name; your opponents can't cast spells with the chosen name.
  • Detention Sphere — Is an enchantment that can exile other nonland permanents with a chosen name, but does not prevent damage or stop spell casting in the same way.
  • Council of the Absolute — Lets you name a noncreature card; opponents can't cast that spell, but it's not an enchantment (it's a creature).

Closest true equivalent: Nevermore — Same color, enchantment type, and similar functionality (but does not prevent damage). Gideon's Intervention is unique for the damage prevention aspect.

  • If a spell with the chosen name includes one generic mana in its cost to cast, that cost will be reduced by {1}.
  • If there are additional costs to cast the spell, such as kicker costs, apply those increases before applying cost reductions.
  • If you name half of a split card with fuse, and then you cast both halves, the cost reduction will apply to the total cost of the spell. This is true even if the half with the chosen name requires only colored mana to cast.
  • The last ability can reduce alternative costs such as overload costs.
  • The last ability can’t reduce the colored mana requirement of a spell.
  • You can name either half of a split card, but not both. If you name half of a split card, your opponents can cast the other half. If that split card has fuse, your opponents can’t cast that card as a fused split card.

  • Although the target of the "enters" ability must not be a land, lands with the same name as that permanent will be exiled.
  • If Detention Sphere leaves the battlefield before its "enters" ability has resolved, its leaves-the-battlefield ability will trigger and do nothing. Then the "enters" ability will resolve and exile the targeted nonland permanent and other permanents with that name indefinitely.
  • If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target when the "enters" ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. No permanents will be exiled, including those with the same name as the target.
  • The "enters" ability has only one target. The other permanents with that name aren't targeted. For example, a permanent with protection from white will be exiled if it has the same name as the target nonland permanent.

    Rules

  • If you choose the name of a split card, you choose one name, not both. For example, you could name Failure or Comply, but not Failure // Comply. Opponents are still allowed to cast the half you didn't choose.
  • You may choose the name of a land card. Cards with that name can still be played (since lands are never cast), but damage they would deal to you and your permanents will be prevented.
  • You must choose the name of a card, not the name of a token. For example, you can't choose "Zombie Token." However, if a token happens to have the same name as a card (such as an embalmed creature token), you can choose it.
  • There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called "story spotlights"—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

  • Spells with the chosen name that somehow happen to already be on the stack when Nevermore enters are not affected by Nevermore's ability.
  • The named card can be cast again once Nevermore leaves the battlefield.
  • You can name either half of a split card, but not both. If you do so, that half (and both halves, if the split card has fuse) can't be cast. The other half is unaffected.
  • If you name one of the faces of a modal double-faced card, players may still play the face you didn't name. (Players can never cast the back face of a transforming double-faced card)
