AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Kaalia of the Vast

Equivalent cards to Kaalia of the Vast (Mardu: red, white, black) that cheat big creatures into play include:

  • Jodah, Archmage Eternal: Lets you cast spells for WUBRG.
  • Elvish Piper: Not Mardu, so doesn't match the color identity.
  • Licia, Sanguine Tribune: Also Mardu, but not the same effect.

Closest Mardu alternatives:

  • Zurgo Helmsmasher: Aggro Mardu commander, but doesn't cheat creatures in.
  • Alesha, Who Smiles at Death: Can reanimate small creatures from your graveyard (e.g., 2 power or less).

Short reason: There are no true Mardu equivalents for Kaalia's effect, but Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is the closest Mardu commander that puts creatures into play from another zone. Most other cheat/tutor commanders are not in Mardu colors.

  • Alesha's triggered ability checks the card's power only in your graveyard. The creature will still be tapped and attacking if its power is greater than 2 after it's on the battlefield.
  • Although the returned creature is an attacking creature, it was never declared as an attacking creature. This means that abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when it enters the battlefield attacking.
  • Any effects that say that the returned creature can't attack (such as that of Propaganda, or if the creature has defender) affect only the declaration of attackers. They won't stop the returned creature from entering the battlefield attacking.
  • While resolving Alesha's triggered ability, you can't pay the cost multiple times to return more than one creature card.
  • You choose which player or planeswalker the returned creature is attacking. It doesn't have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker Alesha is attacking.

    Lifelink

    Rules

  • If Licia's last ability doesn't resolve once activated, it can't be activated again in the same turn.
  • Licia's first ability checks how much life you've gained during the turn, not what your life total is compared to what it was when the turn began. For example, if you start the turn at 30 life, gain 6 life during the turn, then lose 10 life later that turn, Licia still costs {6} less to cast.
  • Licia's first ability reduces only generic mana in its cost. It can't reduce the cost below {R}{W}{B}.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases (such as the "commander tax"), then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Rules

  • Each time a creature dies, check whether Zurgo had dealt any damage to it at any time during that turn. If so, Zurgo's ability will trigger. It doesn't matter who controlled the creature or whose graveyard it went to.
  • If Zurgo enters the battlefield before the combat phase, it will attack that turn if able. If it enters the battlefield after combat, it won't attack that turn and will usually be available to block on the following turn.
  • If, during your declare attackers step, Zurgo is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having Zurgo attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
  • You still choose which player or planeswalker Zurgo Helmsmasher attacks.
