"Find me cards equivalent to: The Valeyard"

Equivalent cards to The Valeyard (B, R, U; legendary; cares about villainous choices and voting):

  • Brago's Representative (W; lets you vote an additional time—votes theme)
  • Will of the Council mechanic card: Custodi Lich (B; voting)
  • Expropriate (U; voting)
  • Ballot Broker (W; vote an additional time)

Closest color identity and effects:

  • The Valeyard (B, R, U; villainous choice, votes)
  • Archdemon of Despair (B; opponent makes a choice with a downside)
  • Magister of Worth (W, B; voting)
  • Illusion of Choice (U; voting)

Short reason: Exact villainous-choice manipulation is unique to The Valeyard, but cards listed share voting mechanics or force opponent choices within B, R, U colors. There is no card with all the same abilities and colors.

    The Monarch

    Rules

  • Abilities that trigger whenever you “become the monarch” trigger only if you aren't already the monarch. For example, if you are already the monarch as Custodi Lich enters the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger.
  • Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. “At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card” and “Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch.”
  • If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack, and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.
  • The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.

    Rules

  • 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.

  • Players can't do anything after they finish voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.
  • The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.
  • You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.

  • If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
  • Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
  • Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.
