8 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Aphotic Wisps

Equivalent cards in black that grant a similar effect (draw a card plus some minor boost) include:

  • Defiant Salvager (not a direct effect, but enables sacrifice for value/draw in black)
  • Night's Whisper (draws cards, no pump/evasion)
  • Vampiric Rites (repeatable sac for draw)
  • Costly Plunder (sac to draw two, still in black)
  • Altar's Reap (sac for two cards, black)

Note: Few black instants give a temporary evasive boost and cantrip like Aphotic Wisps. The closest is Slip Through Space but that's blue. Supernatural Stamina is combat trick + value, but doesn't draw.

Short reason: True equivalents are rare in mono-black; most black draw is tied to sacrificing creatures.

  • An effect that changes a permanent’s colors overwrites all its old colors unless it specifically says “in addition to its other colors.” For example, after Cerulean Wisps resolves, the affected creature will just be blue. It doesn’t matter what colors it used to be (even if, for example, it used to be blue and black).
  • Changing a permanent’s color won’t change its text. If you turn Wilt-Leaf Liege blue, it will still affect green creatures and white creatures.
  • Colorless is not a color.
