"Find me cards equivalent to: Plagon, Lord of the Beach"

Equivalent cards to Plagon, Lord of the Beach (blue legendary creatures with toughness-matters or similar draw/tag switch themes):
1. Arcades, the Strategist (lets creatures with defender assign damage based on toughness, draws cards on defender entry; white/blue)
2. Doran, the Siege Tower (toughness as power for all creatures; white/black/green, not blue, but similar effect)
3. Assault Formation (lets creatures assign combat damage equal to toughness; green enchantment, not blue)
4. Chulane, Teller of Tales (ETB draw and ramp for creatures; blue/green/white, not toughness-based damage but similar draw on ETB)
5. Aegar, the Freezing Flame (draws when creatures with excess damage kill things; blue/red, different condition)


Reason: Few blue or blue/white legends directly support toughness-matters. Arcades, the Strategist is the most similar that shares both colors and mechanics.

    Rules

  • A creature has been dealt excess damage if one or more sources deal more damage to it than the minimum amount of damage required to be lethal damage. In most cases, this means damage greater than its toughness, but consider the damage already dealt to it that turn.
  • A planeswalker is dealt excess damage if it's dealt damage greater than its current loyalty.
  • Even 1 damage dealt to a creature from a source with deathtouch is considered lethal damage, so any amount greater than that will cause excess damage to be dealt, even if the total amount of damage isn't greater than the creature's toughness. Note that a source of damage having deathtouch has no effect on damage dealt to planeswalkers.
  • If a permanent is both a creature and a planeswalker, the minimum amount of damage to be considered lethal damage is used to determine if excess damage has been dealt. For example, if a 5/5 creature that's also a planeswalker with three loyalty counters on it is dealt 4 damage, it's been dealt 1 excess damage and Aegar's ability may trigger.
  • It doesn't matter whether a Giant, Wizard, or spell you control deals the excess damage, only that excess damage was dealt and that one of those three things dealt damage to the creature or planeswalker at some point during the turn. For example, if a 4/4 creature an opponent controls is dealt 2 damage by a spell you control and later that turn is dealt 3 damage by a spell another player controls, Aegar's ability will trigger.
  • Aegar's ability won't trigger when a battle is dealt excess damage. It's not his fault. They didn't exist yet.

  • Arcades's last ability doesn't actually change any creature's power. It changes only the amount of combat damage it assigns. All other rules and effects that check power or toughness use the real values. For example, Rabid Bite won't cause a creature with defender to deal damage equal to its toughness.
  • If Arcades leaves the battlefield after a creature with defender has attacked, that creature remains an attacking creature, although it will assign damage equal to its power.
