AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Touch of Darkness

Cards equivalent to Touch of Darkness are:

  • Twiddle: Both cost 1 mana and can tap or untap a permanent, but Touch of Darkness only taps and can hit multiple creatures.
  • Enfeeble: Also a black instant that weakens creatures, but doesn't tap them.
  • Freeze Ray: Not black, but taps and can potentially keep a creature tapped.

Closest black equivalents for tapping creatures are rare; Nemesis Trap or Oubliette can answer creatures in other ways, but none are exact. Touch of Darkness is unique for black.

    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.
  • Any "enters" abilities of the exiled creature will trigger when the token is put onto the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.
  • If the exiled creature has {X} in its mana cost (such as Protean Hydra), X is considered to be zero.
  • If the exiled creature was a token, your token copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield.
  • If the exiled creature was copying something else (for example, if it was a Jwari Shapeshifter), then your token enters as a copy of whatever the exiled creature was copying.
  • If the targeted creature is an illegal target by the time Nemesis Trap resolves, the entire spell doesn't resolve. You won't get a token.
  • If you cast Nemesis Trap during your opponent's declare attackers step, you'll put the token onto the battlefield before the declare blockers step begins and you can block with it this combat. If you cast Nemesis Trap later in the combat phase a, you won't be able to block with the token.
  • If you cast Nemesis Trap for {B}{B}, you may still target any attacking creature, not just the white attacking creature.
  • The token you put onto the battlefield copies exactly what was printed on the exiled creature and nothing more (unless it was copying something else or it was a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether the exiled creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on. For example, if Nemesis Trap targets an animated Celestial Colonnade, the token you put onto the battlefield will be a Celestial Colonnade that's just a land. (Because of this, Nemesis Trap has received minor errata to specify that you put a token, not a "creature token," onto the battlefield.)

    If a white creature is attacking, you may pay rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Exile target attacking creature. Create a token that's a copy of that creature. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.

    Rules

  • A creature phased out by Oubliette doesn't phase in during its controller's untap step as normal. Rather, it phases in immediately after Oubliette leaves the battlefield.
  • Abilities that trigger when a creature becomes tapped won't trigger when the creature phases in tapped.
  • Any continuous effects with a “for as long as” duration such as that of Awakener Druid ignore phased-out objects. Any such effects will expire if their conditions are no longer met after ignoring the phased-out objects.
  • Any one-shot effects that are waiting “until [this] leaves the battlefield,” such as that of Kitesail Freebooter, won't happen when a permanent phases out.
  • Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.
  • Each Aura and Equipment attached to a permanent that's phasing out also phases out. They will phase in with that permanent and still be attached to it. Similarly, permanents that phase out with counters phase in with those counters.
  • If Oubliette leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the target creature won't be phased out or tapped.
  • Phasing out doesn't cause any “leaves the battlefield” abilities to trigger. Similarly, phasing in won't cause any “enters the battlefield” abilities to trigger.
  • While a permanent is phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist. It can't be the target of spells or abilities, its static abilities have no effect on the game, its triggered abilities can't trigger, it can't attack or block, and so on.

    When this enchantment enters, target creature phases out until this enchantment leaves the battlefield. Tap that creature as it phases in this way. (Auras and Equipment phase out with it. While permanents are phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist.)

    Rules

  • The decision whether or not to tap or untap is made on resolution. This is not a modal spell.
  • This is not a toggle effect. If you use Twiddle to tap a card and before it takes effect your opponent taps it, Twiddle will not automatically untap the card.
