6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Ghave, Guru of Spores

Equivalent cards to Ghave, Guru of Spores (Abzan: white, black, green; focused on +1/+1 counters and tokens):

  • Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest (sac synergy, +1/+1 counters)
  • Anafenza, the Foremost (counters-focused, Abzan)
  • Marath, Will of the Wild (can move +1/+1 counters, but is Naya: red, green, white—note color difference)
  • Cathars' Crusade (enchantment, not a creature, but similar effect: +1/+1 counters on creature entries)
  • Rishkar, Peema Renegade (green focus on counters)

Short reason: Very few commanders directly replicate Ghave's unique abilities in Abzan; Mazirek and Anafenza are the closest by theme.

    Rules

  • Anafenza's first ability can target any tapped creature you control. That creature doesn't necessarily have to be attacking.
  • Anafenza's last ability cares only what the card would be in the zone it's moving from, not what it would be in the graveyard. For example, if a land card you control becomes a creature due to an effect and then dies, the land card will be exiled. But if a creature card with bestow is an Aura when it would be put into the graveyard, it ends up in the graveyard.
  • If your opponent discards a creature card while Anafenza is on the battlefield, abilities that function when a card is discarded (such as madness) still work, even though that card never reaches a graveyard. In addition, spells or abilities that check the characteristics of a discarded card (such as Chandra Ablaze's first ability) can find that card in exile.
  • While Anafenza is on the battlefield, abilities that trigger whenever a nontoken creature your opponent owns dies won't trigger, as that card will never reach that player's graveyard. (Token creatures will still go to the graveyard briefly before ceasing to exist.)

  • If Marath enters the battlefield without being cast, then no mana was spent to cast it. It will therefore enter the battlefield without any +1/+1 counters. If no other effects are increasing its toughness at that time, it will subsequently be put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action.
  • The amount of mana you spent to cast this creature is usually equal to its mana value. However, you also include any additional costs you pay, including the cost imposed for casting your commander from the command zone.
  • You can't choose to pay extra mana to cast a creature spell unless something instructs you to.

  • The amount of mana you spent to cast this creature is usually equal to its mana value. However, you also include any additional costs you pay, including the cost imposed for casting your commander from the command zone.
  • You announce the value of X as you activate the ability, and all instances of X in the activation cost are equal to the announced value. For example, if you choose 2 as the value of X, then you pay 2 and remove two +1/+1 counters to pay the cost.
  • You can't choose to pay extra mana to cast a creature spell unless something instructs you to.

    Flying

    Rules

  • A legendary permanent that is put into a graveyard because of the "legend rule" isn't sacrificed.
  • If you sacrifice Mazirek and other permanents at the same time, Mazirek's last ability triggers for the other permanents.
  • If you sacrifice a permanent as part of casting a spell or activating an ability, Mazirek's last ability will resolve before that spell or ability.
  • Mazirek's last ability is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn't allow you to sacrifice a permanent whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of sacrificing permanents.
