3 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Psychic Vortex

Equivalent (blue, cumulative upkeep, focused on card draw) cards to Psychic Vortex include:

  • Thought Lash (cumulative upkeep, exile instead of draw, but shares upkeep mechanic)
  • Mystic Remora (cumulative upkeep, draws cards based on opponents’ actions)


Reason: Both use blue, cumulative upkeep effects with card advantage or resource trade-offs. Psychic Vortex is unique for unlimited draw/discard, so true equivalents are rare.

  • Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it’s not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can’t be made. For example, if Mystic Remora has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay {4} or sacrifice it.

    Rules

  • Psychic Vortex’s cumulative upkeep ability has you draw cards as a cost. If you choose to do so, and some or all of those draws are replaced by replacement effects, you are still considered to have paid the cumulative upkeep cost.
  • You may choose to draw cards to pay the cumulative upkeep cost even if the number of cards you’d have to draw exceeds the number of cards in your library. If enough of those draws are replaced by replacement effects so you don’t actually attempt to draw a card with an empty library, everything’s fine. However, if you do attempt to draw a card with an empty library this way, Psychic Vortex will remain on the battlefield but you’ll lose the game as a state-based action as soon as the cumulative upkeep ability finishes resolving.
