"Find me cards equivalent to: Meddling Mage"

Equivalent cards to Meddling Mage (U/W, Creature — Human Wizard, naming+lockout effect):
1. Deputy of Detention (U/W) — Exiles nonland permanents with the same name as chosen nonland permanent entering battlefield.
2. Lavinia of the Tenth (U/W) — Locks out casting of nonland permanents with converted mana cost 4 or less until your next turn (not name-based, but similar control).
3. Elite Spellbinder (W) — Exiles nonland card from hand, taxes casting, single color but close effect.
4. Kitesail Freebooter (B) — Similar effect in black, but not U/W.
5. Hushbringer (W) — Disrupts ETB and death triggers but is not name lockout.

Closest flavor and color equivalent is Deputy of Detention, but only Meddling Mage locks out by name for spells. No perfect, exact double in U/W exists.

  • A face-down creature has no name, so it can't share a name with anything. This includes other creatures with no name.
  • Auras attached to the exiled permanents will be put into their owners' graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanents will cease to exist.
  • If Deputy of Detention leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, nothing is exiled.
  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
  • If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target by the time this ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. Nothing is exiled.
  • This ability has only one target. The other permanents with that name aren't targeted. For example, a permanent with hexproof will be exiled if it has the same name as the target nonland permanent.
  • Unless a token is a copy of another permanent or was explicitly given a name by the effect that created it, its name is the subtypes it was given when it was created plus the word "Token." For example, if an effect creates a 1/1 Soldier creature token, that token is named "Soldier Token."

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flying Lifelink

    Rules

  • A creature entering the battlefield or dying at the same time as Hushbringer (including Hushbringer itself entering or dying) won't cause abilities to trigger.
  • Abilities that apply "as [this creature] enters the battlefield," such as choosing a color with Diamond Knight, are unaffected.
  • An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die will still trigger. For example, an ability that triggers "whenever you sacrifice a creature" still triggers.
  • An ability that triggers when a card is put into a graveyard "from anywhere" may still trigger even if a creature dies. It will trigger if the ability is of a dying creature that triggers only when that creature is put into a graveyard from anywhere, if Hushbringer is the card being put into a graveyard, or if Hushbringer leaves the battlefield at the same time as the dying creature.
  • An ability that triggers when a creature "leaves the battlefield" won't trigger if that creature leaves the battlefield by dying.
  • Hushbringer affects a creature's own triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that trigger when that creature enters the battlefield or dies. Such triggered abilities start with "when" or "whenever."
  • Look at each permanent as it exists on the battlefield, taking into account continuous effects that apply to it after entering or before dying, to determine whether any triggered abilities will be stopped from triggering. For example, if a land that has become a creature dies, an ability that triggers when it dies doesn't trigger.
  • Replacement effects are unaffected by Hushbringer's ability. For example, a creature that enters the battlefield with one +1/+1 counter on it will still receive a +1/+1 counter, and Leyline of the Void will still exile creatures that would die.
  • The trigger event doesn't have to specifically refer to "creatures." In these cases, the trigger event may also refer to something being "put into a graveyard from the battlefield." For example, an ability that triggers "whenever an artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield" won't trigger if an artifact creature dies while Hushbringer is on the battlefield.

    Detain Protection

    Rules

  • Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form "[cost]: [effect]." No one can activate any activated abilities, including mana abilities, of a detained permanent.
  • If a creature is already attacking or blocking when it's detained, it won't be removed from combat. It will continue to attack or block.
  • If a noncreature permanent is detained and later turns into a creature, it won't be able to attack or block.
  • If a permanent's activated ability is on the stack when that permanent is detained, the ability will be unaffected.
  • Lavinia's ability doesn't affect permanents an opponent gains control of after its enters-the-battlefield ability has resolved. Similarly, if you gain control of a detained permanent after that ability resolves, it will continue to be detained until your next turn.
  • The mana value of a creature token is 0 unless that token is a copy of another creature, in which case it copies that creature's mana cost.
  • The static abilities of a detained permanent still apply. The triggered abilities of a detained permanent can still trigger.
  • When a player leaves a multiplayer game, any continuous effects with durations that last until that player's next turn or until a specific point in that turn will last until that turn would have begun. They neither expire immediately nor last indefinitely.
