"Find me cards equivalent to: Magister Sphinx"

Equivalent cards (same colors: blue, black, white) that set or manipulate life totals in a powerful way, similar to Magister Sphinx:
1. Etrata, the Silencer (UB) — Doesn't set life total, but eliminates with attacks.
2. Sphinx of the Steel Wind (WUB) — Same colors, very powerful, but doesn't alter life totals.
3. Divinity of Pride (WB) — Adjusts power/toughness based on life, but doesn’t set life totals.

Closest equivalent:

  • Magister Sphinx is unique in setting a player's life total to a fixed number; no exact equivalence.


Reason: The set life total effect is extremely rare in these colors. Most similar are cards that win instantly or control life totals, but none identical but Magister Sphinx itself.

  • Etrata's owner shuffles it into their library as the triggered ability resolves, regardless of how many cards are in exile or whether the player loses the game.
  • If Etrata leaves the battlefield while its triggered ability is on the stack, it remains in its new zone and Etrata's owner shuffles their library.
  • If Etrata's ability exiles a token creature, it won't count to determine whether three cards are exiled with hit counters.
  • If the player controls no creatures, Etrata's ability doesn't resolve. Etrata remains on the battlefield and its owner doesn't shuffle their library. The same is true if the target creature is an illegal target when Etrata's ability tries to resolve.
  • In a Commander game, if Etrata is your commander, you may put it into the command zone as its ability resolves. You'll still shuffle your library.

    Etrata can't be blocked. Whenever Etrata deals combat damage to a player, exile target creature that player controls and put a hitcounteron that card. That player loses the game if they own three or more exiled cards with hit counters on them. Etrata's owner shuffles Etrata into their library.

  • For a player's life total to become 10, what actually happens is that the player gains or loses the appropriate amount of life. For example, if the targeted player's life total is 4 when this ability resolves, it will cause that player to gain 6 life; alternately, if the targeted player's life total is 17 when this ability resolves, it will cause that player to lose 7 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • This ability is not optional.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, this ability basically causes the team's life total to become 10, but only the targeted player is considered to have actually gained or lost life.
