"Find me cards equivalent to: Forerunner of the Empire"

Forerunner of the Empire (Creature — Human Soldier, Red) has two main abilities: tutors a Dinosaur on ETB, and deals 1 damage to each creature when a Dinosaur enters.

Equivalent Red cards with similar color and function:

  • Imperial Recruiter — ETB tutor for low-power creatures, but doesn’t have the damage ability.
  • Forerunner of the Coalition (Black), Forerunner of the Legion (White), Forerunner of the Heralds (Green) — Each searches for a specific tribe on ETB and triggers on tribe creature ETB, but with different effects.
  • No exact Red equivalents with both tutor-for-Dinosaur and the universal damage effect.


Reason: Only Forerunner cycle shares most mechanics; nothing else in Red matches both ETB tutor-for-Dinosaur + mass damage trigger.
