7 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Barl's Cage

Equivalent cards to Barl's Cage (colorless, artifact-based creature lockdown) include:

  • Tawnos's Coffin (exiles instead of tapping)
  • Crackdown Construct (similar in concept, but not lock/removal)
  • Grappling Hook (not equivalent in functionality)
  • Prison Term (white, not colorless, but closer in function)

Closest colorless replacements:

  • Tumble Magnet (taps creatures)
  • Icy Manipulator (taps any permanent)


Reason: Pure equivalents are rare, but these cards can repeatedly tap or restrict creatures using colorless artifacts, like Barl's Cage.

  • Does not prevent a creature from untapping at other times. It just stops the “normal” untap during the untap step.
  • Barl’s Cage doesn’t track the creature’s controller. If the affected creature changes controllers before its old controller’s next untap step, this ability will prevent it from being untapped during its new controller’s next untap step.
  • If the targeted creature is untapped at the time its controller’s next untap step begins, this ability has no effect. It won’t apply at some later time when the targeted creature is tapped.
  • You may target any creature with this ability. It doesn’t have to be tapped.

  • Activated abilities are written in the form "Cost: Effect." Some keyword abilities, such as equip and crew, are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder texts.
  • An ability whose cost is simply {0} can be activated as many times as you'd like. Each activation causes Crackdown Construct's ability to trigger.
  • An activated mana ability is one that could add mana as it resolves, doesn't have a target, and isn't a loyalty ability.
  • Crackdown Construct's ability doesn't trigger if you activate an ability of an artifact or creature card not on the battlefield.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Equip

    Rules

  • If you choose to have the targeted creature block the creature that was equipped with Grappling Hook, but it isn’t able to do so as blockers are declared (for example, because the attacking creature has flying and the targeted creature doesn’t), the requirement to block does nothing. The targeted creature is free to block whichever creature its controller chooses, or block no creatures at all.
  • If you choose to have the targeted creature block, the creature it must block is the one that was equipped by Grappling Hook at the time the ability triggered. It doesn’t matter if Grappling Hook leaves the battlefield or somehow becomes attached to another creature.
  • If you control the triggered ability, you decide whether to have the targeted creature block the attacking creature at the time the ability resolves, not at the time blockers are declared.
  • Tapped creatures, creatures that can’t block as the result of an effect, creatures with unpaid costs to block (such as those from War Cadence), and creatures that aren’t controlled by the defending player are exempt from effects that would require them to block. Such creatures can be targeted by the ability, but the requirement to block does nothing.

  • The creature returns to the battlefield tapped. It does not return to the battlefield and then tap afterwards.
  • If Tawnos’s Coffin leaves the battlefield before its ability has resolved, it will exile the targeted creature forever, since its delayed triggered ability will never trigger.
  • If the exiled card is returned to the battlefield and, for some reason, it now can’t be enchanted by an Aura that was also exiled by Tawnos’s Coffin, that Aura will remain exiled.
  • If the targeted creature is a token, it will cease to exist after being exiled. Any Auras that were attached to it will remain exiled forever.
  • Because the new wording doesn’t use phasing, the exiled card will suffer from summoning sickness upon its return to the battlefield.
  • The effect doesn’t care what types the card has after it is exiled, only that it have been a creature while on the battlefield.
