"Find me cards equivalent to: Shimian Specter"

Equivalent cards in black with a similar effect to Shimian Specter:

  • Hypnotic Specter: Flying; whenever it deals damage to a player, that player discards a card at random. (discard disruption, but no exile/search)
  • Kitesail Freebooter: Flying; enters battlefield, exile a noncreature, nonland card from hand until it leaves. (hand disruption, one card)
  • Brain Maggot: Similar exile effect on a revealed card from hand.
  • Nightveil Specter: Flying; can play exiled cards from opponent, but doesn't exile from hand.
  • Sadistic Sacrament: Sorcery, but can exile all copies of a card from library.


Reason: Black specters and similar creatures often disrupt hands but rarely exile all copies like Shimian Specter. Most only cause discard or limited exile.

    Rules

  • Brain Maggot's ability causes a zone change with a duration, a new style of ability that's somewhat reminiscent of older cards like Tidehollow Sculler. However, unlike Tidehollow Sculler, Brain Maggot has a single ability that creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the nonland card when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to its owner's hand immediately after Brain Maggot leaves the battlefield.
  • If Brain Maggot leaves the battlefield before its enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, the opponent will reveal their hand, but no card will be exiled.
  • In a multiplayer game, if Brain Maggot's owner leaves the game, the exiled card will return to its owner's hand. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn't an ability that goes on the stack, it won't cease to exist along with the leaving player's spells and abilities on the stack.
  • The exiled card returns to its owner's hand immediately after Brain Maggot leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions.

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.) Search target player's library for up to three cards, exile them, then that player shuffles. If this spell was kicked, instead search that player's library for up to fifteen cards, exile them, then that player shuffles.

    Rules

  • If the player has no nonland cards in their hand, you can still search that player’s library and have them shuffle it.
  • The cards you’re searching for must be found and exiled if they’re in the graveyard because it’s a public zone. Finding those cards in the hand and library is optional, because those zones are hidden (even if the hand is temporarily revealed).
