5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Backfire

Equivalent cards to Backfire (blue enchantment that deals damage to a creature’s controller whenever that creature deals damage):
1. Feedback (blue, deals damage to the controller of an enchantment when it’s tapped)
2. Curiosity (blue, draws a card when enchanted creature deals damage — similar trigger but different effect)
3. Psychic Vortex (blue, indirectly related through self-damage triggers but not an exact match)

Closest direct blue equivalents for punishing attackers:

  • Inertia Bubble (prevents damage but doesn't deal damage back)
  • No direct mono-blue enchantments other than Backfire with the exact effect.


Reason: Blue rarely deals direct damage; Backfire is unique in color and effect. Best equivalents are enchantments that trigger off dealing damage, especially in blue.

  • "You" refers to the controller of Curiosity, which may be different from the controller of the enchanted creature. "An opponent" refers to an opponent of Curiosity's controller.
  • Any damage dealt by the enchanted creature to an opponent will cause Curiosity to trigger, not just combat damage.
  • Curiosity doesn't trigger if the enchanted creature deals damage to a planeswalker or to a battle.
  • If you control Curiosity and it's enchanting an opponent's creature, you won't draw a card when that creature deals damage to you. The creature has to deal damage to one of your opponents for the ability to trigger.
  • You draw one card each time the enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, no matter how much damage it deals.

  • Psychic Vortex’s cumulative upkeep ability has you draw cards as a cost. If you choose to do so, and some or all of those draws are replaced by replacement effects, you are still considered to have paid the cumulative upkeep cost.
  • You may choose to draw cards to pay the cumulative upkeep cost even if the number of cards you’d have to draw exceeds the number of cards in your library. If enough of those draws are replaced by replacement effects so you don’t actually attempt to draw a card with an empty library, everything’s fine. However, if you do attempt to draw a card with an empty library this way, Psychic Vortex will remain on the battlefield but you’ll lose the game as a state-based action as soon as the cumulative upkeep ability finishes resolving.
