AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Bar the Gate

Equivalent cards to Bar the Gate (blue, counter creature spell, bonus effect):
1. Essence Scatter — Counters a creature spell, but no other effect.
2. Didn't Say Please — Counters any spell, mills three cards (closer due to bonus effect).
3. Mystic Snake — Creature with counterspell effect but more expensive.

Bar the Gate is unique for adding a Venture into the Dungeon effect, but Didn't Say Please is most similar for counter+extra.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • A player may only have one dungeon in the command zone at a time.
  • Choosing the dungeon or room to venture into is part of resolving the venture into the dungeon keyword action. Once that choice is made, players may not respond until after the appropriate room ability has triggered.
  • Dungeon cards are not part of a player's deck or sideboard. In both constructed and limited formats, players can use any dungeon card when they venture into the dungeon.
  • Dungeons are removed from the game as a state-based action.
  • If you somehow venture into the dungeon while a room's ability is on the stack, you will continue on in the dungeon. If you're already in the last room, complete that dungeon and start a new one.
  • Moving into a dungeon room will cause its room ability to trigger.
  • Once you resolve the last room ability of a dungeon, that dungeon is now completed and is removed from the game.
  • The player venturing into the dungeon chooses which dungeon they will venture into. They may choose a dungeon that they have already completed this game.
  • To venture into the dungeon, a player moves their venture marker into the next room of the dungeon they are currently in. If they aren't currently in a dungeon, that player instead chooses a dungeon card from outside the game, puts it into the command zone, and moves their venture marker onto the first room.
  • You can only move forward (well, downward) in a dungeon, never backwards or sideways.

  • A spell that can't be countered is a legal target for Didn't Say Please. The spell won't be countered when Didn't Say Please resolves, but its controller still puts the top three cards of their library into their graveyard.
