6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Defy Death

Similar white cards to Defy Death (returns creature from graveyard, sometimes with bonus):

  • Breath of Life — Returns a creature to the battlefield (no bonus).
  • Resurrection — Same effect, classic version.
  • Lunar Rejection — Not equivalent (returns to hand).
  • Marshal’s Anthem — Returns creatures, with kicker for extra.
  • Brilliant Restoration — Only returns enchantments and artifacts.
  • Angel of Serenity — Can return creatures from graveyard to hand.

Breath of Life and Resurrection are closest—both are simple white reanimation spells. Marshal’s Anthem is versatile, but more expensive.

    Flying

    Rules

  • If Angel of Serenity leaves the battlefield before its "enters" ability has resolved, its leaves-the-battlefield ability will trigger and do nothing. Then the "enters" ability will resolve and exile the targeted creatures and/or creature cards indefinitely.
  • If a creature targeted by the "enters" ability dies before that ability resolves, it will become an illegal target even though it may be a creature card in a graveyard when the ability resolves. It won't be exiled.
  • You choose the targets as part of putting the "enters" trigger on the stack. Because that ability includes "you may," you choose whether to exile the targets when the ability resolves.
  • You choose up to three total targets from among other creatures on the battlefield and creature cards in graveyards. You may choose zero targets.

  • If the creature is an Angel only on the battlefield (perhaps because it’s a non-Angel creature card and Xenograft is on the battlefield), it will get the +1/+1 counters.
  • No player can cast spells or activate abilities between returning the creature card to the battlefield and checking whether it’s an Angel.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Cleave

    Rules

  • A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value.
  • If an effect allows you to “cast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost.
  • If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack.
  • You can't cast a spell for both its cleave cost and another alternative cost. For example, if an effect gives an Alchemist's Retrieval in your graveyard a flashback cost of {U}, you can't cast it from your graveyard for its cleave cost.
