4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Loan Shark

Equivalent-card suggestions for Loan Shark (a blue card that investigates on entering the battlefield and manipulates your library):
1. Thassa's Bounty – Also draws cards and surveils, keeping the library-manipulation theme (blue).
2. Merchant of Secrets – Draws a card when it enters the battlefield (blue, creature).
3. Niblis of Lost Dreams – Can draw cards when you gain life; still a blue creature with card advantage.
4. Sea Gate Oracle – Lets you manipulate the top two cards of your library when it enters the battlefield.

These all fit blue and offer similar draw/library manipulation effects as Loan Shark.

    Plot

    Rules

  • Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action. Once you announce you’re taking that action, no other player can respond by trying to remove that card from your hand.
  • If a plotted card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you’re casting a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the plotted card has any mandatory additional costs, those must still be paid to cast the spell.
  • Loan Shark’s triggered ability will count any spells you’ve cast this turn, which may include Loan Shark itself. It doesn’t matter if the other spells resolved, didn’t resolve, were countered, or are still on the stack.
  • Plot abilities are written “Plot [cost],” which means “Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may pay [cost] and exile this card from your hand. It becomes plotted.”
  • You can’t cast a plotted card on the same turn it became plotted. On any future turn, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost during your main phase while the stack is empty.
