"Find me cards equivalent to: Gandalf, Friend of the Shire"

Equivalent cards in mono-blue (U) that have similar “flash” or sorcery-casting-flash effects:
1. Gandalf, Friend of the Shire (the original)
2. Vedalken Orrery (lets you cast all spells as though they had flash; not a creature, but closest functional equivalent)
3. Alchemist's Refuge (lets you cast spells as though they had flash; land, not a creature)
4. Leyline of Anticipation (all your spells as though they had flash; enchantment, not a creature)

Closest mono-blue legendary creature:

  • Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir (Flash, makes your creature cards flash; legendary, U)

Short reason: There are very few legendary blue creatures granting “sorceries as flash” specifically—Teferi enables creature flash, and most similar effects are on noncreatures.

  • If the creature you choose as your Ring-bearer was already your Ring-bearer, that still counts as choosing that creature as your Ring-bearer for the purpose of abilities that trigger "whenever you choose a creature as your Ring-bearer" or abilities that care about which creature was chosen as your Ring-bearer.
  • The second ability applies only to casting spells. It does not, for example, change when you may activate abilities that can be activated "only as a sorcery."

  • A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.

    Flash

    Rules

  • If a spell on the stack has split second while you control Teferi, you can't suspend creature cards since split second stops you from casting them, even though suspending them is a special action.
  • If a spell or ability lets an opponent cast a spell as part of its effect (such as suspend and rebound do), that opponent can't cast that spell since the resolving ability is still on the stack. This is true even if the spell is an instant.
  • If an effect allows an opponent to cast spells any time they could cast an instant (for example, if your opponent also controls Teferi), the restriction of Teferi's last ability takes precedence over that permission.
  • Teferi's last ability means that in order for an opponent to cast a spell, it must be that opponent's turn, during a main phase, and the stack must be empty. This is true even if a rule or effect allows a sorcery to be cast at another time.
  • While you control Teferi, you may exile creature cards in your hand with suspend any time you could cast an instant.
