AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Draining Whelk

Equivalent cards to Draining Whelk (blue, counter + grows + flying):

  • Mystic Snake (blue/green, counters and gives you a 2/2)
  • Voracious Greatshark (blue, counters and gives you a 5/4)
  • Frilled Mystic (blue/green, counters and 3/2)
  • Aether Channeler (blue, doesn't counter but is versatile; less close)


Reason: They are blue creatures that counter a spell and provide a body. Only Draining Whelk grows based on the spell's CMC. Voracious Greatshark is closest in mono-blue.

    Rules

  • Draining Whelk's ability counters the target spell even if you can't put counters on Draining Whelk, most likely because Draining Whelk left the battlefield before the ability resolved.
  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.
  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Draining Whelk's ability tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't put any counters on Draining Whelk. If the target is legal but the spell can't be countered, you do put counters on Draining Whelk.

  • You can cast Voracious Greatshark without a target for its enters-the-battlefield triggered ability. That ability will simply not happen. It won't cause Voracious Greatshark to counter itself. It's not that hungry.
