AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Sméagol, Helpful Guide

Equivalents to Sméagol, Helpful Guide (a Golgari, G/B, graveyard-focused, creature-stealing legend):
1. Meren of Clan Nel Toth – Recurs creatures from graveyards, fits the reanimation/recursion theme.
2. Gonti, Lord of Luxury – Steals cards from opponents’ libraries and lets you play them.
3. Glissa, the Traitor – Recurs artifacts from graveyard, fits Golgari recursion.
4. Feldon of the Third Path (red, not Golgari, but similar effect with reanimating) – Use only if color restrictions are flexible.

These fit Golgari color identity and interact with graveyards or opponents’ resources.

    Copy

    Rules

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature card will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied creature card will also work.
  • If Feldon's ability creates multiple tokens due to a replacement effect (such as the one Doubling Season creates), each of those tokens will gain haste and you'll sacrifice each of them.
  • If another creature becomes a copy of, or enters the battlefield as a copy of the token, that creature will copy the creature card the token is copying, except it will also be an artifact. This is true even if the creature card that was copied by Feldon of the Third Path is no longer in the graveyard at that time. However, the new copy won't gain haste and you won't sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.
  • If the copied creature card has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature card (except that the copy is also an artifact) and nothing else.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.
  • Casting the card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • Gonti doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • If you leave the game, the card remains exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at it.
  • You may look at and cast that card (and spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can't look at or cast the card, and you still can.
  • You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.
  • The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. Snow mana is not a type of mana. Gonti, Lord of Luxury won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.

    Deathtouch When Gonti enters, look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

  • Each game pack includes a card labeled “Experience” with the suggestion “Place your experience counters here.” This card isn’t required for play. It’s simply a convenient spot to put your experience counters, which can be represented with dice, glass beads, or other small items.
  • Experience counters are the second kind of counters a player can have, joining poison.
  • If Meren of Clan Nel Toth leaves the battlefield at the same time as other creatures you control die, its first ability will trigger for each of those creatures.
  • If a creature card in your graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • You can’t choose to put the creature card into your hand if its mana value is less than or equal to the number of experience counters you have as the ability resolves.

    The Ring // The Ring Tempts You

    Rules

  • As the Ring tempts you, you get an emblem named The Ring if you don't have one. Then your emblem gains its next ability and you choose a creature you control to become (or remain) your Ring-bearer.
  • Each player can have only one emblem named The Ring and only one Ring-bearer at a time.
  • Each time the Ring tempts you, you must choose a creature if you control one.
  • If the creature you choose as your Ring-bearer was already your Ring-bearer, that still counts as choosing that creature as your Ring-bearer for the purpose of abilities that trigger "whenever you choose a creature as your Ring-bearer" or abilities that care about which creature was chosen as your Ring-bearer.
  • Sméagol, Helpful Guide doesn't need to have been on the battlefield when the creature died. For example, if a creature dies under your control during combat on your turn and you cast Sméagol, Helpful Guide during your second main phase, its first ability will trigger at the beginning of your end step.
  • Sméagol, Helpful Guide's first ability will trigger only once during your end step, no matter how many creatures died under your control this turn. However, if no creatures have died under your control so far this turn as your end step begins, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause a creature to die under your control during the end step in time to have the ability trigger.
  • Some spells and abilities that cause the Ring to tempt you may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Ring won't tempt you.
  • The Ring can tempt you even if you don't control a creature. In this case, abilities that trigger "whenever the Ring tempts you" will still trigger.
  • The Ring gains its abilities in order from top to bottom. Once it gains an ability, it has that ability for the rest of the game.
