"Find me cards equivalent to: Defend the Rider"

Equivalent cards to Defend the Rider (Instant, green, protection/tokens):
1. Heroic Intervention — Instant, G, permanents you control gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.

Reason: Same protection effect, green instant.
2. Snakeskin Veil — Instant, G, target creature gets +1/+1 counter and hexproof until end of turn.

Reason: Grants hexproof, green instant.
3. Tyvar's Stand — Instant, G, target creature gains hexproof and indestructible until end of turn; can pay extra G for +1/+1 counters.

Reason: Same protection effect, green instant.
4. Return to the Ranks — Unlike Defend the Rider, does not create a single 1/1 token, but is a green spell that can return small creatures from graveyard, similar token-matters potential.

Token creation option is unique, but for green instants:

  • Wren's Run Packmaster and Snake Basket make tokens, but they are not instants.

Summary: Closest equivalents are Heroic Intervention, Snakeskin Veil, and Tyvar’s Stand for protection; token-making green instants are rare.

    Rules

  • A planeswalker with indestructible still loses loyalty counters as it's dealt damage and will still be put into its owner's graveyard if its loyalty reaches 0.
  • The set of permanents affected by Heroic Intervention is determined as the spell resolves. Permanents you begin to control later in the turn won't gain hexproof and indestructible.
  • A battle with indestructible still loses defense counters as it's dealt damage. If it's a Siege, it will still be exiled when the last defense counter is removed from it, and its controller may still cast it transformed without paying its mana cost.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Convoke

    Rules

  • Because convoke isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.
  • If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for convoke.
  • Tapping a multicolored creature using convoke will pay for {1} or one mana of your choice of any of that creature's colors.
  • Tapping an untapped creature that's attacking or blocking to convoke a spell won't cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.
  • When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
  • When using convoke to cast a spell with {X} in its mana cost, first choose the value for X. That choice, plus any cost increases or decreases, will determine the spell's total cost. Then you can tap creatures you control to help pay that cost. For example, if you cast Chord of Calling (a spell with convoke and mana cost {X}{G}{G}{G}) and choose X to be 3, the total cost is {3}{G}{G}{G}. If you tap two green creatures and two red creatures, you'll have to pay {1}{G}.
  • You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
