"Find me cards equivalent to: Courtly Provocateur"

Equivalent cards to Courtly Provocateur (Blue, creature, forced to block) include:

  • Master of Diversion (forces tap but not block, White, so not blue, closest blue: )
  • Goblin Diplomats (Red, all must attack; not blue)
  • Deceiver Exarch (Blue, tap or untap but not force block)
  • Cephalid Constable (forces return, not force block)
  • Closest direct blue equivalent: Serendib Sorcerer (can turn a creature into a 0/2, which can allow for easier blocks but does not force block)

There are few blue creatures that force blocks; Courtly Provocateur is quite unique in mono-blue—its most similar blue counterpart is:

  • Alluring Siren (Blue, can force a target creature to attack you or a planeswalker you control each turn, not block, but closest in blue)


Reason: Blue typically does not get the must block effect; it's more a red or white effect. Cards like Alluring Siren are the closest mechanically in blue.

  • Activating the ability during your opponent’s turn after attackers have been declared will have no effect. The same is true if you activate the ability during your own turn.
  • After the ability resolves, the targeted creature attacks you only if it’s able to do so as that turn’s declare attackers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t attack, or is affected by “summoning sickness,” it can’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having that creature attack, its controller isn’t forced to pay that cost, so the creature doesn’t have to attack in that case either.
  • If the targeted creature would be able to attack either you or a planeswalker you control, it must attack you, not the planeswalker.

  • After the first ability resolves, the creature attacks only if it’s able to do so as the declare attackers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t attack, or hasn’t been under that player’s control continuously since the turn began (and doesn’t have haste), then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature attack, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t attack in that case either.
  • After the second ability resolves, the creature blocks only if it’s able to do so as the declare blockers step begins. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block, or no creatures are attacking that player or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t block in that case either.
  • The controller of the creature targeted by the first ability chooses which player or planeswalker that creature attacks.
  • The controller of the creature targeted by the second ability chooses which attacking creature that creature blocks.

  • Creatures that enter the battlefield (or noncreature permanents that become creatures) after the ability resolves are affected by the ability and must attack if able.
