4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Illusionist's Gambit

Equivalent cards in blue that redirect attacks or affect combat choices are:
1. Siren's Ruse – Exiles a creature you control and returns it, can save you from targeted effects but not a true redirect.
2. Aetherize – Returns all attacking creatures to their owners' hands, can save you from a big attack.
3. Settle the Wreckage (White, but closest effect) – Exiles all attacking creatures; offers a similar answer, though in white.


Reason: Illusionist's Gambit is unique in redirecting attacks, but Aetherize is the closest blue equivalent in terms of defensive combat manipulation. There are no blue cards that exactly replicate the unique redirect effect, but Aetherize is your best alternative.

  • An "attacking creature" is one that has been declared as an attacker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield attacking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game, or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat. There's no such thing as an attacking creature outside of the combat phase.

    Rules

  • Creatures that didn't attack during the combat phase when Illusionist's Gambit resolved aren't required to attack in the additional combat phase, although they may. Those creatures can attack you or a planeswalker you control.
  • If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack.
  • If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack.

    Cast this spell only during the declare blockers step on an opponent's turn. Remove all attacking creatures from combat and untap them. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase. Each of those creatures attacks that combat if able. They can't attack you or planeswalkers you control that combat.

  • Settle the Wreckage targets only the player. Creatures with hexproof that player controls will be exiled as this spell resolves.
  • That player can find fewer basic land cards than the number of exiled creatures, whether because they want to or because they don’t have that many basic land cards left.
  • The number of lands that player may find is the number of attacking creatures that were exiled, even if some of those creatures were tokens, weren’t creature cards, or didn’t end up in exile (most likely because one was that player’s commander in the Commander variant).

    Rules

  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won’t return to the battlefield.
  • Once the exiled creature returns, it’s considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.
  • The returned creature won’t be the target of any spells or abilities that targeted it before. Any spells that don’t target it, such as Star of Extinction, will still affect it.
  • You’ll draw a card if the creature was a Pirate as it was exiled, even if it doesn’t return to the battlefield (most likely because it’s a token) or if it returns to the battlefield but isn’t a Pirate anymore (most likely because it’s copying something else).
