"Find me cards equivalent to: Sands of Time"

Cards similar to Sands of Time (Artifact, Colorless, untap/tap manipulation):
1. Static Orb — Players can’t untap more than two permanents during their untap steps.

Reason: Restricts untapping, similar to Sands of Time.
2. Stasis (Blue, not colorless, but very close in effect) — Players skip their untap step.

Reason: Effect is nearly identical, but it's blue.
3. Winter Orb — Players can't untap more than one land during their untap steps.

Reason: Limiting untap actions, on a colorless artifact.
4. Puzzle Box — Not effect-similar, but Mesmeric Orb is another artifact that triggers on untap.

Reason: Synergy with tap/untap manipulation.

Closest in effect and colorless are Static Orb and Winter Orb. Sands of Time is unique in flipping all tapped and untapped permanents.

  • If permanents become untapped during the untap step, Mesmeric Orb's ability will trigger that many times. However, since no player gets priority during the untap step, those abilities wait to be put on the stack until the upkeep starts. At that time, any "beginning of upkeep" triggers will also trigger. Those abilities and Mesmeric Orb's triggers are put onto the stack at the same time.

    Rules

  • This card still affects players when it is tapped.
  • Skipping the untap step means that phased out cards won't phase in, and permanents with phasing won't phase out.
  • You can tap lands for mana before Sands of Time toggles your permanents. The mana you gain is available during your upkeep step, but it will disappear before your draw step if you don't spend it. You cannot save it to be spent on the card you will draw this turn.
