4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Council of the Absolute

Equivalent cards to Council of the Absolute (white-blue, ability naming a card for restriction/benefit):
1. Meddling Mage – Also lets you name a nonland card to prevent casting.
2. Voidstone Gargoyle – Names a nonland card, prevents its activated abilities from being activated.
3. Nevermore – Names a nonland card to prevent casting, but only for spells, not abilities.


Reason: All are blue and/or white and interact by naming cards for some restriction or benefit.

    Rules

  • If a spell with the chosen name includes one generic mana in its cost to cast, that cost will be reduced by {1}.
  • If there are additional costs to cast the spell, such as kicker costs, apply those increases before applying cost reductions.
  • If you name half of a split card with fuse, and then you cast both halves, the cost reduction will apply to the total cost of the spell. This is true even if the half with the chosen name requires only colored mana to cast.
  • The last ability can reduce alternative costs such as overload costs.
  • The last ability can’t reduce the colored mana requirement of a spell.
  • You can name either half of a split card, but not both. If you name half of a split card, your opponents can cast the other half. If that split card has fuse, your opponents can’t cast that card as a fused split card.
