AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Back to Basics

Equivalent cards to Back to Basics (blue, nonbasic land hate):
1. Blood Moon (red) — Similar effect, but changes nonbasics to Mountains.
2. Magus of the Moon (red) — Creature version of Blood Moon.
3. Convincing Mirage (blue) — Changes a single land’s type.
4. Spreading Seas (blue) — Cantrips and makes land an Island.

Closest blue equivalents: Convincing Mirage and Spreading Seas, but none match Back to Basics exactly in blue.

Reason: Blue rarely taxes nonbasics; most strong land hate is red.

  • 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."

    Rules

  • If Magus of the Moon loses its abilities, it continues to turn nonbasic lands into Mountains. This is because effects that change subtypes are applied before considering effects that remove abilities, regardless of the order in which those effects started.
  • 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 that of Vesuva or 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.
  • Magus of the Moon 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."
  • Nonbasic lands lose any other land types and abilities they had. They gain the land type Mountain and gain the ability "{T}: Add {R}."
