AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Formation

Assuming you mean the card Formation (white, Alpha; creatures you control can't be blocked by more than one creature):

Equivalent cards (white, similar effect):

  • Odric, Master Tactician — When Odric attacks, you choose how blockers are declared.
  • Brave the Sands — Not equivalent, but allows multiple blockers and vigilance.
  • Concerted Effort — Shares abilities among creatures.


Reason:
There aren’t exact modern reprints, but Odric, Master Tactician offers a very similar unblockable-by-multiple-effect for white decks.

    Rules

  • Creatures keep all abilities granted this way until the end of the turn, even if Concerted Effort or the original creature with that ability leaves the battlefield.
  • For example, a player controls three creatures when Concerted Effort’s ability resolves: one creature with flying and protection from red, one with islandwalk and protection from green; and one with vigilance. All three creatures will have flying, islandwalk, vigilance, protection from red, and protection from green until the end of the turn.
  • In Two-Headed Giant, triggers only once per upkeep, not once for each player.

    At the beginning of each upkeep, creatures you control gain flying until end of turn if a creature you control has flying. The same is true for fear, first strike, double strike, landwalk, protection, trample, and vigilance.

  • A maximum of one nonbanding creature can join an attacking band no matter how many creatures with banding are in it.
  • Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.
  • If a creature with banding attacks, it can team up with any number of other attacking creatures with banding (and up to one nonbanding creature) and attack as a unit called a "band." The band can be blocked by any creature that could block a single creature in the band. Blocking any creature in a band blocks the entire band. If a creature with banding is blocked, the attacking player chooses how the blockers' damage is assigned.
  • If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.

    Target creature gains banding until end of turn. (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding a player controls are blocking or being blocked by a creature, that player divides that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.) Draw a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep.
