6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Contamination

Equivalent cards to Contamination in black that lock or heavily tax mana production:

  • Blood Moon — Locks nonbasic lands (but is red).
  • Infernal Darkness — Temporarily turns all lands into Swamps (much like Contamination).
  • Magus of the Abyss — Not a mana lock, but similar in oppressive effect.

Closest true black equivalents:

  • Infernal Darkness (Black, same effect, but temporary)
  • Curse of Exhaustion (White, similar lock, not black)
  • Oppression (Black, taxes spells, not mana)
    Reason: Infernal Darkness most closely mimics Contamination's effect in mono-black.

  • If a nonbasic land has an ability that causes it to enter the battlefield tapped, it will lose that ability before it can apply. The same is also true of any other abilities that modify how a land enters the battlefield or apply "as" a land enters the battlefield, such as the first ability of Cavern of Souls.
  • If a nonbasic land has an ability that triggers "when" it enters the battlefield, it will lose that ability before it can trigger.
  • Nonbasic lands will lose any other land types and abilities they had. They will gain the land type Mountain and gain the ability "{T}: Add {R}."
  • This effect doesn't affect names or supertypes. It won't turn any land into a basic land or remove the legendary supertype from a legendary land, and the lands won't be named "Mountain."

  • External effects that generate more mana still generate their additional mana as directed without being affected by this card. Effects which generate more mana based on what type of mana the land produces will be affected in color but not in amount.
  • The second ability of this card is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability.
  • You choose whether to sacrifice a creature or not on resolution. If not, then you sacrifice Contamination. You can choose to not sacrifice even if you no longer control Contamination on resolution.
