"Find me cards equivalent to: Balance"

Equivalent cards to Balance (White, Sorcery, symmetry, resource equalization):
1. Cataclysm

  • Each player chooses one artifact, creature, enchantment, and land, then sacrifices the rest.
    2. Cataclysmic Gearhulk (Creature version with similar effect)
    3. Tragic Arrogance
  • For each nonland permanent type, choose one per player, others are sacrificed/exiled.


Reason: These cards force each player to equalize or massively reduce resources, similar to Balance, and are white sorceries or have a symmetrical board effect.

    Rules

  • Balance doesn't have targets, so permanents that can't be targeted, such as a creature with shroud or protection from white, are valid choices to be sacrificed.
  • Each type of object is counted during the corresponding part of the process. Cards in hand are counted after lands have been sacrificed, and creatures on the battlefield are counted after cards have been discarded. Thus, a land creature sacrificed to the first part of the spell would not be counted when determining how many creatures are on the battlefield for the last part.
  • First the player whose turn it is chooses which lands (if any) to keep, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by the players who chose before them. All of the unchosen lands are then sacrificed simultaneously. Then the process is repeated for cards in hand, except that no cards are revealed until all players have chosen what to discard, at which point those cards are all discarded simultaneously. Lastly, the process is repeated for creatures, and players will again know earlier choices made when deciding what to sacrifice. All of the unchosen creatures are then sacrificed simultaneously.

    Rules

  • If you control a permanent with more than one type, you can choose that permanent to be the representative of either type. This makes it possible to have more than one creature (or other permanent type) on the battlefield. For example, if you select a creature for your creature and an artifact creature for your artifact, you get to keep both of these creatures.
  • If you control a permanent with more than one type, you can choose that same permanent for more than one of the choices if you want to. This makes it possible to select an artifact creature as both your artifact and creature, and then select a land and thereby keep only two cards.
  • The current player makes their choices before the other player. After both players make choices, all the sacrifices are done simultaneously.
  • The permanents to save are chosen on resolution. You do not choose them when casting the spell.
  • Each permanent not chosen by a player will be sacrificed. If a permanent has none of the listed types (for example, a Planeswalker with no other types), it can’t be chosen.

    Rules

  • A permanent with more than one type may be chosen as either of the types or both. For example, an artifact creature may be chosen as the artifact, the creature, or both. Choosing the same permanent twice this way has the same result as choosing it once.
  • Cataclysmic Gearhulk will be sacrificed to its own ability if you don't choose it as your artifact or your creature.
  • First the player whose turn it is chooses permanents they control, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by players who chose before them. All of the unchosen nonland permanents are then sacrificed simultaneously.
  • If you don't control any permanents of one of the types, you'll still choose the permanents of the types you do control.
  • Lands can't be chosen and won't be sacrificed, even if they have other types (such as an artifact land).

For example, you could choose an artifact creature as the artifact you're sparing, another creature as the creature, and an enchantment creature as the enchantment. Similarly, you could choose an enchantment creature as both the creature and the enchantment that you're sparing, even if the player controls another creature and/or another enchantment.
  • None of the chosen permanents are targets of Tragic Arrogance.
