4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Archmage Emeritus

Cards equivalent to Archmage Emeritus (blue, draws when you cast instants/sorceries):

  • Sea Gate Oracle (draw, but on ETB)
  • Ominous Seas (creates tokens instead of drawing, but similar trigger)
  • Younger Elementalist (not exact, but related)
  • Secrets of the Key (creates Clue tokens, not raw draw, similar effect)

Closest functional equivalent:

  • Aetherflux Scribe (draw for Magecraft)
  • Leia, Scholar of the Forgotten (draw with Magecraft)


Reason: There are very few blue cards that specifically draw on Magecraft (like Archmage Emeritus). Most cards instead draw on instant or sorcery cast.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
  • For example, if you control Archmage Emeritus and cast an instant or sorcery spell, Archmage Emeritus's magecraft ability will trigger and you will draw a card.
  • If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger.
  • If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect.
  • Some effects instruct you to copy an instant or sorcery card in a zone other than the stack. These copies do not cause magecraft abilities to trigger. However, most effects that do this also allow you to cast the copy, and casting the copy will cause magecraft abilities to trigger.

    Flashback Investigate

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
