5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Commence the Endgame

Commence the Endgame is a blue instant that can't be countered, draws you cards, and creates an Army token.

Equivalent blue cards:

  • Pull from Tomorrow (instant, draw X, then discard)
  • Fact or Fiction (instant, reveal top 5, split piles, put one pile in hand)
  • Expropriate (instant, not Army token but powerful card draw/extra turn effect)

Closest direct equivalent: Pull from Tomorrow (but it lacks a token creation effect). No direct equivalents create Army tokens at instant speed, but for blue card draw with extra value, also check Chemister's Insight (draw cards, jump-startable).


Reason: All blue, all provide significant card draw at instant speed. None match all effects exactly, but these are closest.

  • A spell cast using jump-start will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with jump-start is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.
  • If an effect allows you to pay an alternative cost rather than a spell's mana cost, you may pay that alternative cost when you jump-start a spell. You'll still discard a card as an additional cost to cast it.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions when casting a spell with jump-start, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using jump-start only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

    Rules

  • A spell or ability that counters spells can still target Commence the Endgame. When that spell or ability resolves, Commence the Endgame won't be countered, but any additional effects of that spell or ability will still happen.
  • You draw two cards and amass X all while Commence the Endgame is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
  • Amass Orcs works the same way, except you create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token if you don't control an Army. If the Army creature you chose isn't already an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types. By combining cards with amass Orcs and amass Zombies, you can end up with an Orc Zombie Army.
  • Amass abilities are now written as "amass [subtype] N." Previous cards with amass have received errata to say "amass Zombies N."
  • If you don't control an Army, the Zombie Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.
  • In the rare case that you control multiple Army creatures (perhaps because you played a creature with changeling) while you amass Zombies, you choose which of your Army creatures to put the +1/+1 counters on. If that creature isn't a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types.
  • Some cards refer to the "amassed Army." That means the Army creature you chose to receive counters, even if no counters were placed on it for some reason.
  • To amass Zombies N, if you don't control an Army creature, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token. Then you choose an Army creature you control and put N +1/+1 counters on it. If that Army isn't already a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types.

    This spell can't be countered. Draw two cards, then amass Zombies X, where X is the number of cards in your hand. (Put X +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also a Zombie. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token first.)

    Rules

  • Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Players can't do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.
  • The effects of each council's dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
  • Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council's dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
  • You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
  • Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain.
  • No player votes until Expropriate resolves. Any responses to the spell must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Votes are cast in turn order, and each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
