AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Battlefield Promotion

Equivalent cards to Battlefield Promotion (white, instant, gives +1/+1 and first strike plus a +1/+1 counter) include:

  • Bring Down the Hammer (white, targets, gives first strike) — but does not grant a counter.
  • Defiant Strike (white, pump, cantrip, but not first strike or counter).
  • Squire's Devotion (white, grants lifelink and +1/+1, but as an aura).
  • Ajani's Presence (white, pump, indestructible instead of first strike).

There are no exact equivalents, but Shelter provides a pump and protection, and Thran Vindicator provides +1/+1 counters and first strike, but not together.


Reason: Battlefield Promotion is unique in combining a +1/+1 counter and first strike at instant speed in white. Other cards cover some aspects, but not all.

  • If a spell or ability allows you to cast a strive spell without paying its mana cost, you must pay the additional costs for any targets beyond the first.
  • If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. If one or more of its targets are legal when it tries to resolve, the spell will resolve and affect only those legal targets. It will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • If such a spell is copied, and the effect that copies the spell allows a player to choose new targets for the copy, the number of targets can't be changed. The player may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, the player can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
  • The mana cost and mana value of strive spells don't change no matter how many targets they have. Strive abilities affect only what you pay.
  • You choose how many targets each spell with a strive ability has and what those targets are as you cast it. It's legal to cast such a spell with no targets, although this is rarely a good idea. You can't choose the same target more than once for a single strive spell.

    Rules

  • A permanent gaining protection may cause a spell or ability on the stack to have an illegal target. As a spell or ability tries to resolve, if all its targets are illegal, that spell or ability doesn’t resolve. None of its effects happen, including effects unrelated to the target. If at least one target is still legal, the spell or ability does as much as it can to the remaining legal targets, and its other effects still happen.
  • Protection from a color means that the target creature can’t be blocked by creatures of that color, can’t be the target of spells of that color or abilities from sources of that color, can’t be enchanted or equipped by Auras or Equipment of that color, and all damage that sources of that color would deal to it is prevented. Nothing other than these events is prevented or illegal.
  • The legality of a spell’s targets is checked only as that spell begins to resolve. If Shelter gives the targeted creature protection from white, you’ll still draw a card.
  • You can’t choose “artifact” or “colorless” as Shelter asks you to choose a color, since those are not colors.

  • If the creature this Aura would enchant is an illegal target by the time Squire's Devotion tries to resolve, the Aura spell doesn't resolve. It won't enter the battlefield, so its ability won't trigger.
  • You need a creature for Squire's Devotion to target as you cast it. There's no way to have it enter the battlefield attached to the Vampire token it'll create.
