6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Spire Monitor

Equivalent cards to Spire Monitor (blue, flying, flash, 3/3 for 5 mana):

  • Aether Adept (blue, same CMC, different effect but close stats)
  • Dream Eater (flash, flying, but more expensive and powerful)
  • Aetherize (blue instant, same flash feel, different effect)
  • Exclusion Mage (lacks flash/flying, but similar role)
  • Faerie Duelist (flash, flying, smaller stats/cheaper)

Exact matches are rare; Spire Monitor is fairly unique in blue Commons with its mix of stats, flying, and flash. Closest direct replacement: Faerie Duelist for flash/flying, but it's weaker.

    Rules

  • An "attacking creature" is one that has been declared as an attacker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield attacking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game, or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat. There's no such thing as an attacking creature outside of the combat phase.

    Flash Flying Surveil

    Rules

  • Dream Eater's reflexive triggered ability triggers even if you have fewer than four cards in your library to surveil.
  • Dream Eater's triggered ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, after you've surveilled, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target nonland permanent to be returned to its owner's hand. This is different from effects that say "If you do . . ." in that you choose the target after having surveilled.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.
