7 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Gandalf's Sanction

Equivalent blue cards to Gandalf's Sanction (which deals damage to a target based on the number of instants/sorceries in your graveyard) include:

  • Crush of Tentacles (blue, interacts with instants and sorceries but more board control)
  • Jaya's Immolating Inferno (red, deals X damage for legendary spells but not a direct equivalent)
  • Closest blue-only example: Quicken + Psychic Puppetry (combo lets you cast and get instant/sorcery synergies, but not direct damage)

None are a perfect match; blue typically doesn’t deal direct damage based on graveyard, but interacts with instants/sorceries in other ways. If you want direct damage in blue, there's no exact equivalent—look to Izzet (blue/red) cards like Fiery Conclusion or Beacon Bolt (red/blue, scales with graveyard instants/sorceries).

    Rules

  • A spell cast using jump-start will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.
  • Beacon Bolt is still on the stack while you count your instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard and in exile. It doesn't count itself.
  • If a card with jump-start is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.
  • If an effect allows you to pay an alternative cost rather than a spell's mana cost, you may pay that alternative cost when you jump-start a spell. You'll still discard a card as an additional cost to cast it.
  • If any exiled cards you own are face down, they have no characteristics. If they're normally instants or sorceries, they won't be counted.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions when casting a spell with jump-start, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using jump-start only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

    Rules

  • All other nonland permanents will already be in their owners' hands by the time the Octopus token is created. Any triggered abilities or abilities that would have otherwise affected that Octopus won't be around to matter.
  • Casting a spell for its surge cost doesn't change its mana cost or its mana value.
  • For some cards, surge represents only an alternative cost, a discount that applies if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn. Other cards, like Reckless Bushwhacker, have additional abilities or effects if you paid the surge cost to cast the spell.
  • If an instant or sorcery spell cast for its surge cost is copied, the copy is also considered to have had its surge cost paid.
  • The other spell that you or a teammate cast can be one that's resolved, one that was countered, or (for instants with surge) one that's still on the stack.

    Rules

  • Excess damage caused by a spell or ability is similar to how combat damage from a creature with trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is "lethal." This is the creature's toughness minus the amount of damage that it already has marked on it, but ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature has an ability such as indestructible that will result in it not being destroyed by this damage.
  • Gandalf's Sanction is not yet in your graveyard when you determine the value of X.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Gandalf's Sanction tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. It won't deal damage to any player.
  • Once you've determined how much damage is excess, Gandalf's Sanction simultaneously deals damage to the creature and to its controller. This damage may be modified by replacement or prevention effects.

  • You can't cast a legendary sorcery unless you control a legendary creature or a legendary planeswalker. Once you begin to cast a legendary sorcery, losing control of your legendary creatures and planeswalkers won't affect that spell.
  • You can't target the same target more than once to have Jaya's Immolating Inferno deal more damage to it.

    Splice

    Rules

  • A card with a splice ability can’t be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
  • If all of the spell’s targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word “target” on the resulting spell.
  • You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.

  • You don't choose a sorcery card when Quicken resolves. Rather, this sets up a rule that is true for you until the turn ends or until you cast a sorcery card, even if you cast that sorcery at a time you normally could.
  • After Quicken resolves, you can Suspend a sorcery in your hand any time you can cast an instant. As soon as you actually cast a sorcery, you lose this capability.
