3 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Illusion of Choice

Equivalent cards to Illusion of Choice (blue, instant, cantrip, voting change effect) are:
1. Influence (Unstable; blue instant, vote control, cantrip)
2. Split Decision (blue instant, similar vote effect, not a cantrip)
3. Will of the Council mechanic cards (like Council's Judgment, white, not blue but related)


Reason: Very few blue instants control votes and cantrip; Illusion of Choice is almost unique in blue for its cost/effect.

    Rules

  • Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • Each player must vote for one of the candidate permanents. They can't abstain.
  • In the unusual case that no permanents have any votes, nothing is exiled.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • None of the candidate permanents are targeted. Players may vote for a permanent with protection from white, for example.
  • Players can't do anything after they finishing voting but before the "winning" permanent or permanents are exiled.

  • If another player controls Ballot Broker, that player first takes their “normal” vote with you choosing the result, then that player decides whether they are taking the additional vote. If there is an additional vote, you again choose the result.
  • If multiple players cast Illusion of Choice during the same turn, the controller of the one that resolved most recently will choose how each player votes that turn.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • Effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell will be copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy. For example, if a player exiles three cards from their graveyard to cast Skeletal Scrying, and you copy it, the copy will also cause you to draw three cards and lose 3 life (but you won't exile any cards from your graveyard).
  • If duplication gets more votes, Split Decision creates a copy of the spell. You control the copy. That copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger. The copy will resolve like a normal spell, after players get a chance to cast spells and activate abilities.
  • If the spell being copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Skeletal Scrying has), the copy will have the same value of X.
  • If the spell being copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can't choose a different one.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Players can't do anything after they finish voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.
  • The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
  • The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.
  • You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
