"Find me cards equivalent to: Passionate Archaeologist"

Equivalent cards to Passionate Archaeologist in red (R) that encourage casting from exile and/or dealing damage based on spell casting include:

  • Passionate Archaeologist (itself)
  • Obsidian Fireheart (deals damage for actions; not the same trigger, but nods to land-based burn)
  • Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh (transforms into burning effect on casting/red spells)
  • Chandra's Incinerator (damage reduction to creatures/opponents from spells)
  • Vexing Puzzlebox (variant reward for casting spells, less direct, but red; doesn't strictly trigger on casting from exile)
  • Witty Roastmaster (damage on creatures entering, sometimes exiled recursion/synergy)
  • Thermopod (lets you exile red cards for an effect)

No exact legendary Background enchantment in red does precisely what Passionate Archaeologist does, but these are functionally synergistic. Passionate Archaeologist is unique for its specific exile-casting damage trigger as a Background.

  • Chandra's Incinerator counts all noncombat damage dealt to your opponents, not the difference in their life totals since the turn began. For example, if an opponent was dealt 5 noncombat damage but gained 3 life, Chandra's Incinerator still costs just {R}.
  • Combat damage is the damage that's dealt automatically by attacking and blocking creatures. Any other damage is noncombat damage, even if it's dealt during a combat phase by an attacking or blocking creature.
  • In a multiplayer game, Chandra's Incinerator counts damage dealt to opponents who have lost the game.
  • The cost reduction applies only to generic mana in the cost of Chandra's Incinerator. It can't reduce the {R} requirement.

  • A land with a blaze counter on it is an illegal target for this ability. You may activate the ability targeting a land, then activate the ability in response to itself targeting the same land. Although the first ability to resolve will put a blaze counter on that land, the second ability to resolve won’t resolve.
  • As the reminder text indicates, whether the targeted land has the triggered ability that’s been granted to it depends only on whether it has a blaze counter on it, not on whether Obsidian Fireheart is still on the battlefield.
  • If a land ends up with more than one blaze counter on it (thanks to Doubling Season or Gilder Bairn, for example), the ability still only causes it to deal 1 damage to its controller each turn.
  • If all blaze counters on a land are moved to a different land, the triggered ability doesn’t follow them. The first land no longer has the ability because it no longer has a blaze counter on it. The second land doesn’t have the ability because Obsidian Fireheart didn’t target it.
  • The ability gained by the land triggers at the beginning of the upkeep of the land’s controller, not the beginning of the upkeep of Obsidian Fireheart’s controller. The player who controls the land at the time the ability triggers is the one who’s dealt damage.

    : Put a blazecounteron target land without a blazecounteron it. For as long as that land has a blazecounteron it, it has "At the beginning of your upkeep, this land deals 1 damage to you." (The land continues to burn after this creature has left the battlefield.)

  • An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.
  • Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library.
  • Choose a Background is a variant of the partner ability. You may have two commanders if one of them is a legendary creature with the choose a background ability and the other is a legendary Background enchantment. Backgrounds and cards with choose a Background do not interact with cards which have any other partner ability.
  • If a card refers to a commander creature you own, a Background won't usually be counted or included for that effect. If another spell or ability causes your Background to become a creature, however, it will be included. Any effect that refers to your commander or a commander you own or control without specifying creature will apply to a Background that is your commander, as appropriate.
  • If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.
  • If you control a Background that grants an ability to commander creatures you own, and you own more than one commander creature, each of them will have that ability.
  • If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can include only cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders’ combined color identities.
  • If your commander loses the choose a Background ability or stops being a Background during the game, as appropriate, it is still your commander.
  • Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won’t have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 combat damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined (although your Background won’t usually be a creature anyway).
  • You can choose two commanders that are the same color or colors.

  • Even though it includes rolling a die, Vexing Puzzlebox's second ability is a mana ability. It does not use the stack and cannot be responded to.
  • If an effect instructs you to roll more than one die and ignore one or more of them, the result is only what wasn't ignored.
  • If an effect instructs you to roll one or more dice and add some number to that roll, the result is the total after adding that number.
  • In a game of Planechase, the result of rolling the planar die is not a number and does not cause Vexing Puzzlebox's first ability to put charge counters on it.
