5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Preemptive Strike

Equivalent cards to Preemptive Strike (which is a green instant: You may put a green creature card from your hand onto the battlefield. That creature gains haste. Sacrifice it at beginning of the next end step.):
1. Elvish Piper (lets you put a green creature card from your hand onto the battlefield)
2. Sneak Attack (red, but similar ability, so not same color)
3. Quicksilver Amulet (lets you put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield; colorless)
4. Defense of the Heart (green enchantment, puts creatures into play, though triggered and not instant)

Closest green instant alternatives:

  • No exact green instant analog for the haste + end-step sacrifice, but Elvish Piper is the closest functional equivalent in mono-green.


Reason: The effect is very unique in green; most similar effects are permanents, not instants.

  • Defense of the Heart's ability will check if an opponent controls three or more creatures as your upkeep begins. If none of them do, the ability won't trigger at all. If an opponent does, the ability will check again as it tries to resolve. If none of your opponents control three or more creatures at that point, the ability won't do anything. The opponent that controls three or more creatures as the ability resolves doesn't have to be the same opponent that controlled three or more creatures as it triggered.
  • If Defense of the Heart leaves the battlefield while its triggered ability is on the stack, the ability will still resolve as normal.
