8 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Herald of War

Equivalent cards to Herald of War (White, Angel/creature cost reducers):
1. Urza's Incubator (artifact, but reduces creature costs of a chosen type)
2. Pearl Medallion (reduces white spell costs)
3. Semblance Anvil (artifact, exiles a card to reduce costs)
4. Patriarch's Bidding (not a reducer, but a tribal reanimator)
5. Cloud Key (artifact, pick creature for cost reduction)

Closest in white creature form: Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (increases noncreature spell cost, but interacts with costs) and Daring Archaeologist (gives related tribal benefit).


Reason: There are few white creatures that reduce costs for tribal creatures like Herald of War. Most cost reducers are artifacts.

  • The cost reduction applies only to generic mana in the cost of spells of the chosen type you cast.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Cloud Key's ability). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

    Rules

  • A card, spell, or permanent is historic if it has the legendary supertype, the artifact card type, or the Saga subtype. Having two of those qualities doesn’t make an object more historic than another or provide an additional bonus—an object either is historic or it isn’t.
  • An ability that triggers “whenever you cast a historic spell” doesn’t trigger if a historic card is put onto the battlefield without being cast.
  • Lands are never cast, so abilities that trigger “whenever you cast a historic spell” won’t trigger if you play a legendary land. They also won’t trigger if a card on the battlefield transforms into a legendary land, as the Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan double-faced cards do.
  • Some abilities trigger “whenever you cast a historic spell.” Such an ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

  • The ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic mana component of that cost.
  • The ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay.
  • The cost reduction can apply to alternative costs such as flashback costs.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, instant, kindred, planeswalker, and sorcery are card types.
  • Semblance Anvil can reduce the amount you pay for a spell's cost that includes {X}. For example, Blaze is a sorcery that costs {X}{R}. If the card exiled with Semblance Anvil is a sorcery, and you want to cast Blaze with X equal to 5, you'll have to pay only {3}{R}. This is true even if the ability states that {X} must be paid with a certain color of mana (as Drain Life does).
  • Semblance Anvil takes the total cost to cast a spell into account, not just its mana cost. This includes additional costs (such as kicker) and alternative costs (such as evoke). It also includes cost increases from other sources (such as Lodestone Golem's ability).
  • Semblance Anvil won't affect the part of a spell's cost represented by colored mana symbols. For example, a spell that normally costs {1}{U} to cast would cost {U} if it shared a card type with the exiled card.
  • Semblance Anvil's cost reduction effect is mandatory.
  • Spells you cast that share multiple card types with the exiled card still cost just {2} less to cast. They don't get a greater cost reduction.
