4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Fluctuator

Equivalent cards: There is no direct equivalent to Fluctuator (which specifically reduces cycling costs) in black, but similar cards that reduce cycling costs or interact with cycling in black include:

  • Vizier of Tumbling Sands (blue) – untaps; cycles, but doesn’t reduce cost
  • Archfiend of Ifnir (black) – rewards cycling
  • Shadow of the Grave (black) – brings back cycled/discarded cards


Reason: Fluctuator is unique for reducing generic cycling costs; closest you’ll find in black are cards that interact with cycling, not cost reduction. No true black equivalent exists.

    Cycling Flying

    Rules

  • An ability that triggers whenever you discard a card doesn’t give you permission to discard cards. You’ll need another effect that instructs or allows you to discard them.
  • An ability that triggers whenever you “cycle or discard” a card triggers only once if you cycle a card. The ability “Whenever you discard a card” is functionally identical to this ability; cycling is mentioned for clarity.
  • If a player discards a card during their cleanup step due to having too many cards in hand, any appropriate abilities that trigger on discarding that card trigger. If this happens, those triggered abilities are put onto the stack and players receive priority in that cleanup step to cast spells or activate abilities (normally, no players may take actions during a cleanup step). Another cleanup step is created following that one.
  • Some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Cycling

    Rules

  • The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve, and you'll draw a card.
  • When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.
