AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Archmage Emeritus

Equivalent cards to Archmage Emeritus (blue, with a spellcast draw effect):
1. Jace's Sanctum – Reduces instant/sorcery cost, draws on scry.
2. Ophidian Eye – Draws a card when enchanted creature deals damage.
3. Talrand, Sky Summoner – Makes Drakes for spells (different, but similar spell rewards).
4. The Locust God – Draws cards for other reasons, and makes Insects when you draw.

Closest blue replacement for direct “draw a card when you cast an instant or sorcery”:

  • Secrets of the Dead (draws on flashback cast)
  • Teferi's Ageless Insight (boosts all draws, but doesn't draw for casting)

Archmage Emeritus is unique in blue for directly drawing on every instant/sorcery cast, so most equivalents are partial or require combos.

    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.

    Rules

  • Because Teferi's Ageless Insight is legendary, it's unlikely that one player will control two. However, if that happens, each card that player would draw after the first will result in four cards being drawn. If they control three, they draw eight cards, and so on.
  • If a spell or ability causes you to put a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," it's not a card drawn.
  • If two or more replacement effects would apply to a card-drawing event, the player drawing the card chooses the order in which to apply them.

  • The “next end step” refers to the next end step that occurs, not the end step of the next turn. If this creature dies before a turn's end step (for example, during combat), it will be returned to its owner's hand at the beginning of that turn's end step.
