6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Author of Shadows

Equivalent cards to Author of Shadows (black, exiles cards from graveyards and provides additional value):
1. Scavenging Ooze (green, can exile cards from graveyards, but gains life/counters instead of exiling all at once)
2. Necromentia (black, exiles all copies of a card from graveyard/hand/library)
3. Nightshade Harvester (black, not exact, but interacts with lands entering graveyard)
4. Leyline of the Void (black, automatically exiles cards that would go to opponents' graveyards)
5. Ashiok, Dream Render (blue/black, exiles all opponents’ graveyards and stops searching)

Closest in effect and color would be Leyline of the Void and Ashiok, Dream Render, though Scavenging Ooze is a frequently played graveyard-hate card but is not black.


Reason: All listed cards deal with graveyard exiling or disruption, with Leyline of the Void and Ashiok, Dream Render being closest in color and functionality.

    Rules

  • Effects that instruct your opponents to reveal or look at cards from the top of their libraries will still work. Only effects that use the word “search” are affected.
  • If Ashiok’s last ability targets an opponent, the cards put into their graveyard will be among the cards exiled by the ability. No player may take any actions between the time the cards are put into a graveyard and the time your opponents’ graveyards are all exiled.
  • If an effect says “Search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents shuffle their libraries even though they can’t search.
  • If an effect says “You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library” or “You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents can’t choose to search, so they won’t shuffle.
  • Spells and abilities your opponents control may cause other players to search their libraries, and spells and abilities you control may cause your opponents to search their libraries.

    When this creature enters, exile all opponents' graveyards. Choose a nonland card exiled this way. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.

    Rules

  • A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.
  • If your opponent discards a card while you control Leyline of the Void, abilities that check whether a card is discarded (such as Hollow One, or a madness ability of the discarded card) still work, even though that card never reaches that player's graveyard. In addition, spells or abilities that check the characteristics of the discarded card can find that card in exile.
  • Tokens can still die while Leyline of the Void is on the battlefield.
  • While Leyline of the Void is on the battlefield, nontoken creatures your opponents control won't die. They'll be exiled instead. Abilities that would trigger when those creatures die won't trigger.

    Choose a card name other than a basic land card name. Search target opponent's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. That player shuffles, then creates a 2/2 black Zombie creature token for each card exiled from their hand this way.

  • If the target card is an illegal target when the ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. No +1/+1 counter will be put on Scavenging Ooze and you won't gain life. Notably, this means that if you activate Scavenging Ooze's ability multiple times targeting the same creature card, only the first instance of the ability to resolve will have any effect.
