AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Courtly Provocateur

Cards equivalent to Courtly Provocateur (which forces a specific creature to block it each combat if able) include:

  • Master of Cruelties (forces blocks, black/red)
  • Lure (green, old but forces all creatures able to block to do so)
  • Goblin War Drums (red, makes creatures harder to block, partial similarity)
  • Dueling Grounds (white/green, restricts blockers, but not identical effect)

Closest exact equivalents in the same colors (blue/white) are very rare, but Jareth, Leonine Titan (white) can force creatures to block it.


Reason: These all manipulate blocking in a manner similar to Courtly Provocateur, focusing on blue and white color identity.

    Rules

  • After the first ability resolves, the creature attacks only if it’s able to do so as the declare attackers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t attack, or hasn’t been under that player’s control continuously since the turn began (and doesn’t have haste), then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature attack, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t attack in that case either.
  • After the second ability resolves, the creature blocks only if it’s able to do so as the declare blockers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block, or no creatures are attacking that player or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t block in that case either.
  • The controller of the creature targeted by the first ability chooses which player or planeswalker that creature attacks.
  • The controller of the creature targeted by the second ability chooses which attacking creature that creature blocks.

    Enchant

    Rules

  • As blockers are declared, any creature that’s tapped or affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, no player is forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t block if that cost isn’t paid.
  • Lure doesn’t give any creatures the ability to block the target creature. It just forces those creatures that are already able to block the creature to do so.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
  • Assigning no combat damage isn't the same as preventing that damage. Effects that make damage unpreventable will have no effect if no combat damage can be assigned.
  • For a player's life total to become 1, what actually happens is that the player loses (or in some rare cases, gains) the appropriate amount of life. For example, if the player's life total is 4 when the last ability resolves, it will cause that player to lose 3 life. Other effects that interact with life loss (or gain) will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • If Master of Cruelties attacks alone, another creature entering the battlefield attacking will have no effect on it. Master of Cruelties continues to be an attacking creature. The other attacking creature will assign combat damage normally, regardless of whether Master of Cruelties's last ability triggers.
  • Master of Cruelties isn't forced to attack, but if it does, it must do so alone. If you control another creature with an ability that says it must attack if able, that creature must attack and Master of Cruelties won't be able to.
  • Master of Cruelties's last ability won't trigger if it attacks a planeswalker or a battle.
