5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: The Valeyard

The Valeyard is a black and blue (Dimir) card.

Equivalent (similar in function and color, e.g., cares about your opponent losing the game and having you win instead):
1. Notion Thief (Blue/Black) – Interacts with opponent’s resources.
2. Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver (Blue/Black) – Exiles opponent’s deck/cards.
3. Consuming Aberration (Blue/Black) – Punishes opponents' graveyard size.
4. Maralen of the Mornsong (Black) – Controls draw/loss.

None are perfectly equivalent (The Valeyard’s win condition), but these have disruptive or win-stealing elements in similar colors.

  • Ashiok's second ability doesn't target any creature card. You choose which creature card to return when that ability resolves, but you must choose one with mana value equal to the value you chose for X when activating the ability.
  • Ashiok's second ability refers to any creature card exiled because of Ashiok's first or third ability.
  • If Ashiok leaves the battlefield, and later another Ashiok enters the battlefield, it is a new object (even if the two were represented by the same card). Creature cards exiled by the original Ashiok can't be put onto the battlefield by the second ability of the new Ashiok.
  • If you put a creature card with bestow onto the battlefield, it will be a creature on the battlefield, not an Aura.
  • If you put a creature card with {X} in its mana cost onto the battlefield, the value of that X is 0.

  • An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.
  • If an opponent has no land cards in their library, all the cards from that library will be revealed and put into their graveyard.
  • The ability that defines Consuming Aberration's power and toughness works in all zones, not just the battlefield.

    Consuming Aberration's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your opponents' graveyards. Whenever you cast a spell, each opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then puts those cards into their graveyard.

    Rules

  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Maralen’s triggered ability will trigger twice per draw step (once for each player on the active team). Maralen’s controller chooses the order to put the abilities on the stack.
  • Maralen prevents players from drawing cards for any reason, including as a cost, as an effect, and as a result of the “draw a card” turn-based action during the draw step.
  • The effect of the triggered ability is mandatory. The life loss isn’t a payment; you’ll lose 3 life even if you have 3 or less life left. Unless your library is empty, you must put a card from your library into your hand.
  • While Maralen is on the battlefield, a player can’t choose to draw cards (or choose to have another player draw cards) as a spell or ability resolves. For example, if you cast the Development side of Research // Development (“Put a 3/1 red Elemental creature token onto the battlefield unless any opponent lets you draw a card. Repeat this process two more times.”), you’ll put three Elemental tokens onto the battlefield because your opponents can’t “let you draw a card.”
  • While Maralen is on the battlefield, no player can lose the game due to being instructed to draw a card with an empty library.
  • While Maralen is on the battlefield, replacement effects that instruct a player to do something instead of drawing a card won’t work.

    Players can't draw cards. At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player loses 3 life, searches their library for a card, puts it into their hand, then shuffles.

    Rules

  • If an opponent is instructed to draw a card then discard a card, and Notion Thief causes you to draw a card instead, that opponent still discards a card. The same is true of any other actions that opponent is instructed to do.
  • If two or more players each control a Notion Thief and a player would draw a card other than the first one in their draw step, that player chooses one of the applicable Notion Thief effects to apply. Then the player whose Notion Thief's effect was chosen repeats this process among the remaining Notion Thief effects, and so on, until there are no more possible such effects to apply. Each effect can be applied to the card draw only once this way.
  • The above procedure means that if each player in a two-player game controls a Notion Thief and one would draw a card, it really will be that player who draws a card.

    Flash If an opponent would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, instead that player skips that draw and you draw a card.

  • If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
  • Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
  • Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.
