5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Pillar of Flame

Cards equivalent to Pillar of Flame (red, instant/sorcery, exiles creature if it would die):

  • Magmatic Sinkhole (red, exile-based removal, with delve)
  • Red Sun's Zenith (red, damage to creature/exile if dies)
  • Abrade (red, instant, damage but doesn't exile—partial equivalent)
  • Fry (red, instant, exiles only planeswalkers/creatures with protection from white or blue)

Best exact parallels: Red Sun's Zenith for exile-on-death in red. Magmatic Sinkhole is flexible, but Pillar of Flame remains most efficient for its mana.


Reason: Exiling on creature death is rare in red—these cards come closest in effect and color.

    Rules

  • A spell or ability that counters spells can still target Fry. When that spell or ability resolves, Fry won’t be countered, but any additional effects of that spell or ability will still happen.
  • If the target creature or planeswalker is an illegal target by the time Fry tries to resolve, the spell won’t resolve and will be put into its owner’s graveyard with no effect. This is true even though it can’t be countered.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn’t change a spell’s mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise’s mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can’t exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can’t exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.

    Rules

  • A creature dealt damage by Pillar of Flame that dies this turn will be exiled even if it wasn’t the target of Pillar of Flame (because the damage was redirected somehow). If the target creature isn’t dealt damage (most likely because the damage was prevented), it won’t be exiled if it dies that turn.
  • A creature dealt damage by Pillar of Flame will be exiled no matter why the creature would die that turn. It could have its toughness reduced to 0 or less or be destroyed by another spell or ability.
