6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Xenic Poltergeist

Equivalent cards to Xenic Poltergeist (Black, artifact interaction):

  • Skeletal Vampire (Black card, interacts with artifacts but not in the same way)
  • Phyrexian Revoker (Black, artifact interaction by naming a card to shut down abilities)
  • Agent of Erebos (Black, interacts with graveyards, not artifacts directly)

Closest true equivalent:
For turning artifacts into creatures, only March of the Machines (Blue) and Animate Artifact (Blue) do similar things, but they are not Black.


Reason:
Black has very few direct turn artifact into creature effects; Xenic Poltergeist is unique in Black for this effect. No true Black equivalents exist; most are in Blue.

Results:

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • A constellation ability triggers whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control for any reason. Enchantments with other card types, such as enchantment creatures, will also cause constellation abilities to trigger.
  • An Aura spell without bestow that has an illegal target when it tries to resolve won't resolve and will be put into its owner's graveyard. It won't enter the battlefield and constellation abilities won't trigger. An Aura spell with bestow won't be countered this way. It will revert to being an enchantment creature and resolve, entering the battlefield and triggering constellation abilities.
  • The constellation ability is mandatory. If you are the only legal target (perhaps because your opponent has hexproof), you must target yourself and exile all the cards from your graveyard.
  • When an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control, each constellation ability of permanents you control will trigger. You can put these abilities on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one that resolves.

    Enchant artifact As long as enchanted artifact isn't a creature, it's an artifact creature with power and toughness each equal to its mana value.

    Rules

  • Each artifact land has a mana value of 0. March of the Machines makes them 0/0 creatures, which are put into the graveyard as a state-based action.
  • If a noncreature artifact is also another card type, such as enchantment or land, it will retain those types in addition to being an artifact creature.
  • If an Equipment becomes a creature, it can no longer equip a creature. If it's currently attached to a creature, it becomes unattached (but remains on the battlefield). You can activate the Equipment's equip ability, but it won't do anything.
  • If a noncreature artifact becomes an artifact creature this way and then another effect animates it, the new effect overrides March of the Machines's effect. For example, Chimeric Staff is a 4/4 creature while March of the Machines is on the battlefield. If you activate Chimeric Staff's ability and choose X = 5, Chimeric Staff will be a 5/5 artifact creature for the rest of the turn.
  • A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the "summoning sickness" rule: It can only attack, and its {T} abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn.

  • Phyrexian Revoker's ability affects sources with the chosen name no matter what zone they are in. For example, a cycling ability of a card with the chosen name can't be activated from hand.
