AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Defiler of Dreams

Equivalent cards to Defiler of Dreams (blue, Phyrexian-mana cost reduction, effect on casting blue spells) include:

  • Jace's Sanctum: Reduces cost of blue instants/sorceries and provides scry (doesn’t use life, but similar in function).
  • Etherium Sculptor: Reduces cost for artifact spells; blue-aligned cost reduction.
  • Baral, Chief of Compliance: Reduces cost for blue and red instants/sorceries.

No card fully replicates the Phyrexian-mana effect, but these offer similar blue spell cost reduction or payoff.

    Rules

  • A spell or ability counters a spell only if it specifically contains the word "counter" in its text. If a spell or ability you control causes all the targets of a spell to become illegal, that spell doesn't resolve but it's not countered.
  • The cost reduction applies only to generic mana in the cost of instant and sorcery spells you cast.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Baral's first ability). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

    Flying

    Rules

  • Some players may make the mental shortcut that the Defilers effectively turn one of the colored mana symbols in the spell’s cost into a Phyrexian colored mana symbol. Despite the similarity in function, this ability does not cause the spells to have Phyrexian mana symbols in their costs. Sorry, Rage Extractor!
  • You may only pay the additional cost once per permanent spell.

    Flying As an additional cost to cast blue permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of blue mana you pay. Whenever you cast a blue permanent spell, draw a card.

    Rules

  • The only difference between a colored artifact and a colorless artifact is, obviously, its color. Unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact requires colored mana to cast. Also unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact has a color in all zones. It will interact with cards that care about color. Other than that, a colored artifact behaves just like any other artifact. It will interact as normal with any card that cares about artifacts, such as Shatter or Arcbound Ravager.
  • This effect can reduce only the generic portion of the artifact spell's total cost.
  • This effect doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of an artifact spell. Rather, it reduces the total cost of the spell, which is the amount you actually pay while casting it. The total cost takes into account additional or alternative costs.
