5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Genesis Wave

Equivalent cards to Genesis Wave (green) that let you put several permanents onto the battlefield from the top of your library include:
1. Genesis Hydra – Lets you reveal cards from the top of your library and put a nonland permanent onto the battlefield.
2. See the Unwritten – Reveals top eight cards, puts a creature onto the battlefield, possibly two if you have ferocious.
3. Kamahl's Druidic Vow – Similar effect but restricted to legendary permanents.
4. Primal Surge – Exiles cards from your library, puts all permanents onto battlefield, but only works for all-permanents decks.


Reason: All allow you to cheat big permanents onto the battlefield from your library in green.

    Rules

  • A nonland permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker card.
  • Genesis Hydra's first ability will resolve before Genesis Hydra does. Notably, if you put an Aura card onto the battlefield this way, it can't enchant Genesis Hydra.
  • If "the rest" is zero cards, either because X was 0 or because X was 1 and that card was put onto the battlefield, the library is still shuffled.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • If you put an Aura onto the battlefield this way, you choose what it enchants as it enters the battlefield. This doesn't target any permanent or player, but it must be able to enchant that permanent or player. For example, you could put a green Aura onto the battlefield enchanting a creature with hexproof controlled by an opponent, but not one with protection from green.

  • A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
  • All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

  • All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering the battlefield, they’ll see each other.
  • For cards in your library with {X} in their mana costs, X is considered to be 0.
  • Other than the casting restriction, the legendary supertype on a sorcery carries no additional rules. You may cast any number of legendary sorceries in a turn, and your deck may contain any number of legendary cards (but no more than four of any with the same name).
  • You can’t cast a legendary sorcery unless you control a legendary creature or a legendary planeswalker. Once you begin to cast a legendary sorcery, losing control of your legendary creatures and planeswalkers won’t affect that spell.

    (You may cast a legendary sorcery only if you control a legendary creature or planeswalker.) Look at the top X cards of your library. You may put any number of land and/or legendary permanent cards with mana value X or less from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest into your graveyard.

    Rules

  • A permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
  • If putting any of those permanent cards onto the battlefield causes abilities to trigger, those abilities will wait to go on the stack until Primal Surge has finished resolving. Starting with the active player, each player puts their abilities on the stack in any order.
  • If you exile a permanent card that you can’t put onto the battlefield (such as an Aura with nothing legal to enchant) or one you don’t want to put onto the battlefield, Primal Surge finishes resolving.
  • Repeating the process includes the instruction to repeat the process. That is, you’ll keep exiling cards and putting them onto the battlefield until you fail to put a permanent card onto the battlefield.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Because you’re not casting the creature cards, you can’t pay any additional or alternative costs. You can’t put the cards onto the battlefield face down.
  • Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don’t use the word “instead” will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.
  • If a card you put onto the battlefield this way has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word “instead.” These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.
  • You determine whether the ferocious ability applies before any creature cards are put onto the battlefield. If you put two creature cards onto the battlefield this way, those creatures enter the battlefield at the same time.
