6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Dire Tactics

Equivalent cards (in black and white) to Dire Tactics (exile target creature, with conditional downside):
1. Anguished Unmaking – Exiles any nonland permanent, but you lose 3 life.
2. Despark – Exiles a permanent with mana value 4 or greater.
3. Fateful Absence – Destroys (not exiles) a creature or planeswalker, opponent gets a Clue.
4. Utter End – Exiles any nonland permanent.
5. Vindicate – Destroys (not exiles) any permanent.


Reason: All these cards provide removal in black and white with minor downsides or restrictions, similar to Dire Tactics. None exile a creature quite as efficiently, but these are the closest in color and effect.

    Rules

  • Use the exiled creature’s toughness as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life you lose.
  • Whether you control a Human is checked only after exiling the target creature. If that creature had exiled a Human you controlled until that creature left the battlefield, that Human will return to the battlefield in time to be counted.
