"Find me cards equivalent to: Despotic Scepter"

Cards similar to Despotic Scepter (artifact, colorless, destroys your own permanents) are rare, but here are some:

  • Spine of Ish Sah – Destroys any permanent when it enters, but not by activated ability.
  • Claws of Gix – Lets you sacrifice (not destroy) any permanent for life.
  • Altar of Dementia – Sacrifices any permanent (creature) to mill.
  • Despotic Scepter – Original card.

There’s no direct modern equivalent with exactly the same effects and activation, but sacrifice outlets offer similar utility.

  • If the target player's library contains fewer cards than the sacrificed creature's power, all of those cards are put into that player's graveyard. That player won't lose the game until they try to draw from the empty library.
  • The number of cards the target player puts into their graveyard is equal to the power of the sacrificed creature as it last existed on the battlefield.
