AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Cursed Totem

Equivalent cards (same effect, same colors as Cursed Totem—Colorless):

  • Collector's Sphere (Unfinity, silver-bordered, not tournament legal)
  • Damping Matrix (also prevents artifact abilities, but affects all non-mana abilities)


Reason: Cursed Totem stops activated abilities of creatures, which is rare in colorless. Only a few colorless cards do similar things.

  • Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
  • Activated abilities of noncreature permanents that would make them become creatures (such as a Vehicle's crew ability) can still be activated. Once they become creatures, any abilities they have cannot be activated.
  • Cursed Totem doesn't stop players from activating abilities of creature cards that aren't on the battlefield, such as cycling or unearth.
  • Cursed Totem stops players from activating mana abilities of creatures.
  • Other abilities of creatures, including static abilities and triggered abilities, are unaffected.

    Rules

  • A mana ability is an ability that produces mana, not an ability that costs mana.
  • Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities, such as equip, are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
  • Damping Matrix’s ability affects only artifacts and creatures on the battlefield. Activated abilities that work in other zones (such as bloodrush or unearth) can still be activated. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected.
