5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Illumination

Equivalent cards (same colors, similar effects) to Illumination (White, counter target artifact or enchantment spell):
1. Mana Tithe: Counters any spell unless its controller pays 1 (White).
2. Reprieve: Returns target spell to its owner's hand (White).
3. Dismantling Blow: Counters artifacts or enchantments, also draws cards when kicked (White/Blue).
4. Disenchant: Destroys an artifact or enchantment, but not as a counter (closest permanent removal in White).


Reason: White does few counterspells, so only a handful of options exist. Mana Tithe is the most famous white counterspell, but Reprieve and Dismantling Blow offer some unique disruption in White.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If the target artifact or enchantment is an illegal target by the time Dismantling Blow tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You won't draw two cards if it was kicked. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you do draw two cards.
  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

  • If a spell is returned to its owner's hand, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works against a spell that can't be countered.
