5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Head Games

Equivalent cards to Head Games (black, hand manipulation) include:

  • Thoughtseize (targeted discard; less controlling of what they get)
  • Duress (targeted discard, only noncreature, nonland)
  • Sadistic Sacrament (removes cards from library)
  • Praetor's Grasp (exiles a card from opponent's deck, you can play it)


Reason: There is nothing exactly like Head Games (opponent searches library for a new hand) in black, but these cards interact with the hand/library and give you some control.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.) Search target player's library for up to three cards, exile them, then that player shuffles. If this spell was kicked, instead search that player's library for up to fifteen cards, exile them, then that player shuffles.
