4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Back to Basics

Equivalent cards to Back to Basics (Blue, nonbasic land hate):
1. Boil – Destroys all Islands, punishes blue decks.
2. Choke – Islands don’t untap, blue-specific, similar impact.
3. Blood Moon – (Red, but worth noting): Nonbasic lands become Mountains; disruptive to nonbasic lands, but beware it's off-color.


Reason: Both Boil and Choke are blue-hate that affect lands, similar to Back to Basics in disrupting mana, though not exactly the same effect. Blue has few nonbasic-hate cards outside Back to Basics.

    Rules

  • If a nonbasic land has an ability that causes it to enter the battlefield tapped, it will lose that ability before it can apply. The same is also true of any other abilities that modify how a land enters the battlefield or apply "as" a land enters the battlefield, such as the first ability of Cavern of Souls.
  • If a nonbasic land has an ability that triggers "when" it enters the battlefield, it will lose that ability before it can trigger.
  • Nonbasic lands will lose any other land types and abilities they had. They will gain the land type Mountain and gain the ability "{T}: Add {R}."
  • This effect doesn't affect names or supertypes. It won't turn any land into a basic land or remove the legendary supertype from a legendary land, and the lands won't be named "Mountain."
