AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Word of Binding

Equivalent cards to Word of Binding (black, tap creatures, sorcery) include:

  • Sleep (blue, taps creatures, but is blue)
  • Choking Fumes (white, -1/-1 counters, but is white)
  • Falter (red, prevents blocking, but red)

Closest black equivalents:

  • Lethargy Trap (taps creatures and they don’t untap next untap step)
  • Yawning Fissure (forces tap, but mainly focused on lands)

There are no exact black equivalents that tap X creatures for X mana at sorcery speed—Word of Binding is pretty unique in black.


Reason: Tapping effects are rare in black; mostly found in blue.

    Rules

  • Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
  • Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
  • You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
