"Find me cards equivalent to: Balustrade Spy"

Equivalent cards to Balustrade Spy (black creatures with similar mill-on-ETB effects) include:

  • Undercity Informer — Also black, similar mill ability but sacrifices a creature for effect.
  • Geth, Lord of the Vault — Black, mills based on X and reanimates, not exactly the same, but related.
  • Ravenous Chupacabra — Black ETB, but destroys rather than mills (not perfect mill equivalent).
  • Gray Merchant of Asphodel — Black ETB, drains life (again, not mill).

Closest true equivalents:

  • Undercity Informer (color B, similar targeted mill based on lands).

Balustrade Spy is uniquely efficient for its land-based mill-on-ETB in mono-black. Other direct equivalents don't exist in mono-black.

    Rules

  • Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
  • If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.
  • If you put an Aura on an opponent's permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.
  • Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • The amount of life you gain is the total amount of life lost, not simply the value of X.
