AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Gandalf's Sanction

Equivalent cards to Gandalf's Sanction (Blue, deals X damage to creatures):
1. Engulf the Shore (returns creatures to hand, blue board control)
2. Sleep (taps all creatures, disables them for a turn)
3. Whelming Wave (returns all creatures except Krakens/Leviathans/Octopi/Serpents)
4. Aetherspouts (puts attacking creatures on top/bottom of library)


Reason: Blue doesn’t often deal direct damage, but these cards provide mass creature control or removal in similar (blue) fashion. No direct damage, but similar effects in blue.

  • If an effect puts two or more cards on the top or bottom of a library at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order. That library's owner doesn't reveal the order in which the cards go into their library.
  • The owner of each attacking creature chooses whether to put it on the top or bottom of their library. The active player (the player whose turn it is) makes all of their choices first, followed by each other player in turn order.

    Rules

  • Excess damage caused by a spell or ability is similar to how combat damage from a creature with trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is "lethal." This is the creature's toughness minus the amount of damage that it already has marked on it, but ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature has an ability such as indestructible that will result in it not being destroyed by this damage.
  • Gandalf's Sanction is not yet in your graveyard when you determine the value of X.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Gandalf's Sanction tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. It won't deal damage to any player.
  • Once you've determined how much damage is excess, Gandalf's Sanction simultaneously deals damage to the creature and to its controller. This damage may be modified by replacement or prevention effects.

    Gandalf's Sanction deals X damage to target creature, where X is the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard. Excess damage is dealt to that creature's controller instead.
