4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Hornswoggle

Equivalent cards to Hornswoggle (blue, counter creature spell, some extra effect):
1. Essence Scatter — Counters target creature spell. No extra effect.
2. Admiral's Order — Counters target spell, cheaper if you attacked.
3. Wizard's Retort — Counters any spell, cheaper if you control a Wizard.


Reason: These are blue counterspells closely related to Hornswoggle in function. Hornswoggle counters a creature spell and gives a Treasure; Essence Scatter is the most direct equivalent but lacks the Treasure.

    Rules

  • Raid abilities care only that you attacked with a creature. It doesn't matter how many creatures you attacked with or which player, planeswalker, or battle those creatures attacked.
  • Raid abilities evaluate the entire turn to see if you attacked with a creature. That creature doesn't have to still be on the battlefield. Similarly, the player, planeswalker, or battle it attacked doesn't have to still be in the game or on the battlefield.
