4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Cephalid Illusionist

Equivalent cards (similar effect, same colors: blue):
1. Helm of the Ghastlord — Forces opponent to mill when enchanted creature deals damage.
2. Dreamborn Muse — Mills players equal to cards in their hand each upkeep.
3. Hedron Crab — Mills when a land enters the battlefield.


Reason: All these blue cards mill opponents in some way, though none have the exact same triggered ability as Cephalid Illusionist (mill 3 when targeted). Blue is MTG’s primary color for mill effects.

  • A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.
  • A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.
  • Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).

    Rules

  • If the enchanted creature is both of the listed colors, it will get both bonuses.
  • The two abilities trigger when the enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent of the creature’s controller, not when it deals damage to an opponent of the Helm’s controller. They trigger from any damage, not just combat damage.
  • With regards to the two triggered abilities that Helm of the Ghastlord grants to the enchanted creature, the point when damage is actually dealt is the only time it matters what color the creature is. If the creature is blue or black at that time, the appropriate ability or abilities will trigger. They’ll resolve even if the creature changes color or loses its Aura.
