6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Assert Authority

Equivalent cards to Assert Authority (blue; counter with affinity or alternative cost):
1. Mana Leak – Simple blue counter for three, but doesn't have affinity.
2. Scatter Arc – Counter noncreature, draws a card.
3. Render Silent – Blue/white, counters any spell; opponent can't cast spells this turn.
4. Rewind – Blue counter, untaps four lands.
5. Metallic Rebuke – Blue, has improvise (similar to affinity); counters unless they pay
3.


Reason: All are blue counterspells with unique upsides or similar conditional countering. Metallic Rebuke is closest due to improvise mechanic.

    Improvise

    Rules

  • Equipment attached to a creature doesn't become tapped when that creature becomes tapped, and tapping that Equipment doesn't cause the creature to become tapped.
  • If an artifact you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with improvise will result in the artifact being tapped when you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for improvise. Similarly, if you sacrifice an artifact to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with improvise, that artifact won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for improvise.
  • Improvise can't pay for {U} in Metallic Rebuke's total cost.
  • Improvise doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
  • Tapping an artifact won't cause its abilities to stop applying unless those abilities say so.
  • When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Improvise applies after the total cost is calculated.

    Rules

  • A spell that “can’t be countered” is a legal target for Render Silent. The spell won’t be countered when Render Silent resolves, but that spell’s controller won’t be able to cast spells for the rest of the turn.
  • If the spell is an illegal target when Render Silent tries to resolve (because it’s been countered by another spell, for example), Render Silent won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • Render Silent doesn’t stop any player from casting spells in response to Render Silent before it resolves.
  • The affected player can still activate abilities, including abilities of cards in their hand (such as bloodrush abilities), and the player can still play lands.
  • You must be able to target a spell to cast Render Silent.
