AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Wandering Archaic

Some equivalent cards to Wandering Archaic (colorless, tax/copy spells ability) are:

  • Rhystic Study (taxes spells, Blue)
  • Esper Sentinel (taxes spells, White)
  • Monologue Tax (taxes spells, White)


Reason: All these cards tax your opponents for casting spells or give you a benefit when they don't pay. All are similar in that they slow or disrupt opponents’ spells, but only Wandering Archaic can copy spells directly. Closest colorless options are very limited.

    Rules

  • If Esper Sentinel's has negative power when this ability resolves, then {X} is {0}. The opponent may still choose not to pay the cost if they want you to draw a card.
  • If a noncreature spell was already cast by an opponent the turn Esper Sentinel enters the battlefield, that opponent already cast their first noncreature spell this turn, and Esper Sentinel's ability won't trigger for that opponent that turn.
  • This ability checks Esper Sentinel's power when it resolves, not when the ability goes on the stack. If Esper Sentinel is no longer on the battlefield when it resolves, use the power it had the last time it was on the battlefield.
