5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Loan Shark

Equivalent cards to Loan Shark (blue creature with the ability to draft a card from outside the game) are:
1. Agent of Treachery — Steals permanents.
2. Gonti, Lord of Luxury (black, but similar exile/cast from opponent’s deck).
3. Thief of Sanity — Exiles and lets you cast cards from opponent's deck.
4. Sphinx Ambassador — Searches opponent’s library for a card.


Reason: All these cards interact with cards outside your hand or deck, similar to Loan Shark's draft/exile mechanic and are at least blue or partially blue.

    Rules

  • A token’s owner is the player who created it.
  • Agent of Treachery’s effect lasts indefinitely. It doesn’t wear off during the cleanup step, and it doesn’t expire if Agent of Treachery leaves the battlefield. In a multiplayer game, it does expire if you leave the game.
  • Gaining control of a creature doesn’t cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it. Gaining control of an Aura or Equipment doesn’t change what it’s currently attached to.
  • If you don’t control three permanents you don’t own as your end step begins, Agent of Treachery’s last ability doesn’t trigger. If you no longer control three permanents you don’t own as it resolves, you won’t draw three cards. Those don’t have to be the same three permanents each time.
  • If you gain control of a permanent “until end of turn,” that effect will wear off during the cleanup step, after the end step. You’ll control that permanent while considering Agent of Treachery’s last ability.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.
  • Casting the card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • Gonti doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • If you leave the game, the card remains exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at it.
  • You may look at and cast that card (and spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can't look at or cast the card, and you still can.
  • You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.
  • The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. Snow mana is not a type of mana. Gonti, Lord of Luxury won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.

    Deathtouch When Gonti enters, look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

    Plot

    Rules

  • Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action. Once you announce you’re taking that action, no other player can respond by trying to remove that card from your hand.
  • If a plotted card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you’re casting a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the plotted card has any mandatory additional costs, those must still be paid to cast the spell.
  • Loan Shark’s triggered ability will count any spells you’ve cast this turn, which may include Loan Shark itself. It doesn’t matter if the other spells resolved, didn’t resolve, were countered, or are still on the stack.
  • Plot abilities are written “Plot [cost],” which means “Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may pay [cost] and exile this card from your hand. It becomes plotted.”
  • You can’t cast a plotted card on the same turn it became plotted. On any future turn, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost during your main phase while the stack is empty.

    Flying

    Rules

  • A “creature card” is any card with the type creature, even if it has other types such as artifact, enchantment, or land. Older cards of type summon are also creature cards.
  • After the player names a card, check if the card you chose has that name. If it doesn’t, but it’s a creature card, you may put it onto the battlefield. If you don’t want to put that card onto the battlefield, it’s not a creature card, or it does have the name the player said, it simply stays in that player’s library without ever being revealed. The player then shuffles their library, including that card.
  • Once you’ve chosen a card during your search, you must clearly indicate which card you’ve chosen (preferably without showing the front of that card to the player!). Then the player names a card.
  • You may search for any card, not just a creature card. Of course, if you choose a noncreature card, you won’t be able to put it onto the battlefield no matter what card the player names.

    Flying Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for a card, then that player chooses a card name. If you searched for a creature card that doesn't have that name, you may put it onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.

  • Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any spells or permanents you control from Thief of Sanity's effect are exiled, and any of the face-down exiled cards remain face down indefinitely. No player may look at them.
  • Thief of Sanity's effect doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • You can still cast the exiled card if Thief of Sanity leaves the battlefield or leaves your control. If another player gains control of Thief of Sanity, that player can't cast the exiled card.
