5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Polluted Bonds

Equivalent cards to Polluted Bonds (black enchantments that punish land plays/landfall):
1. Pollution Bonds is fairly unique, but similar black punisher cards include:

  • Exquisite Blood (not lands specifically, but drains life on opponents losing life)
  • Painful Quandary (punishes spells, not lands)
  • Zo-Zu the Punisher (red, not black, for land punishment)
  • Forsaken Wastes (players can't gain life and lose life each upkeep)

Closest equivalent in black: No exact match, as Polluted Bonds is unique in black for specifically punishing land drops with life loss. You can combine black with red (for Zo-Zu the Punisher) in a Rakdos deck for a stronger effect.

  • Damage dealt to an opponent usually causes that opponent to lose life. An opponent paying life also causes loss of life.
  • If you and an opponent both lose life simultaneously, and this causes your life total to become 0 or less, you'll lose the game before Exquisite Blood's triggered ability can resolve.

    Rules

  • The loss of life from targeting this card does not work until after this card enters, so you can counter it without losing life.
  • Effects that replace an event with gaining life (like Words of Worship's effect does) will end up replacing the event with nothing.
  • Effects that would replace gaining life with some other effect won't be able to do anything because it's impossible for players to gain life.
  • If a cost includes life gain (like Invigorate's alternative cost does), that cost can't be paid.
  • If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, and that number is higher than your current life total, that effect will normally cause you to gain life equal to the difference. With Forsaken Wastes on the battlefield, that part of the effect won't do anything. (If the number is lower than your current life total, the effect will work as normal.)
  • This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
