6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Call for Aid

Equivalent cards to Call for Aid (red sorcery that lets you put an opponent’s creature from their graveyard onto the battlefield under your control):

  • Act of Aggression (Red, steals a creature for a turn)
  • Threaten (Red, steals a creature for a turn)
  • Insurrection (Red, steals all creatures for a turn)
  • Reanimate (Black, puts a creature from any graveyard onto the battlefield for you)
  • Animate Dead (Black, similar effect with an aura)


Reason: No other red card does exactly what Call for Aid does (permanently steal a creature from an opponent’s graveyard), but these are the closest equivalents in red for stealing or reanimating creatures. For exact function in these colors, black is a better match.

  • A card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its mana cost is each color that appears in that mana cost, regardless of how that cost may have been paid.
  • Act of Aggression can target any creature an opponent controls, even one that's untapped.
  • As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.
  • Gaining control of a creature doesn't cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.
  • If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
  • Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can't produce Phyrexian mana.
  • To calculate the mana value of a card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, count each Phyrexian mana symbol as 1.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Enchant

    Rules

  • Abilities such as shroud and protection function only on the battlefield unless otherwise specified. A creature card with shroud may be targeted by Animate Dead, and Animate Dead will become attached to the creature that enters the battlefield.
  • Animate Dead is an Aura, albeit with an unusual enchant ability. You target a creature card in a graveyard when you cast it. It enters the battlefield attached to that card. Then it returns that card to the battlefield, and attaches itself to the card again (since the card is a new object on the battlefield). Animate Dead itself never moves into a graveyard during this process.
  • If Animate Dead isn't on the battlefield as its triggered ability resolves, none of its effects happen. The creature card won't be returned to the battlefield.
  • If the creature put onto the battlefield has protection from black—or if the creature can't legally be enchanted by Animate Dead for another reason—Animate Dead won't be able to attach to it. It will be put into the graveyard as a state-based action, causing its delayed triggered ability to trigger. When the trigger resolves, if the creature's still on the battlefield, its controller will sacrifice it.
  • Once the creature is returned to the battlefield, Animate Dead can't be attached to anything other than it (unless Animate Dead somehow manages to put a different creature onto the battlefield). Attempting to move Animate Dead to another creature won't work.

    Enchant creature card in a graveyard When this Aura enters, if it's on the battlefield, it loses "enchant creature card in a graveyard" and gains "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with this Aura." Return enchanted creature card to the battlefield under your control and attach this Aura to it. When this Aura leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it. Enchanted creature gets -1/-0.

  • If an effect instructs you to sacrifice a creature, and you control any creatures other than the ones you gained control of with Call for Aid this turn, you must sacrifice one of them. You can't try to sacrifice one of the creatures you gained control of, fail, and therefore ignore the effect.
  • You can't sacrifice the creatures you gained control of with Call for Aid this turn for any reason. If an effect instructs you to sacrifice one of them, you can't and it remains on the battlefield. You also can't sacrifice any of them to pay a cost that requires you to sacrifice a creature.

    Rules

  • If a card in a player's graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If any abilities trigger on the creature entering the battlefield, those abilities resolve after you lose life. If losing life results in you losing the game, those abilities won't resolve.
  • In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, the creature you control from Reanimate is exiled.
  • The amount of life you lose is determined by the mana value of the card in your graveyard, not the creature once it's on the battlefield.
  • You lose life after the creature is already on the battlefield. Any abilities it has that interact with loss of life, such as that of Platinum Emperion, apply to that loss of life.
