6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Possession Engine

Equivalent cards to Possession Engine (black artifact creatures that exchange control of permanents) include:

  • Mindclaw Shaman (red, trades/steals spells, not direct but similar effect)
  • Switcheroo (blue, exchanges creatures)
  • Hypnotic Specter (black, controls/discards, slightly related)

However, there are no direct, same-color replacements in black for Possession Engine’s specific exchange effect. Exchange effects are more common in blue.

Closest same-color (black) examples:

  • Phyrexian Negator (high risk, potential for opponent gain)
  • Abyssal Persecutor (must give away for opponent loss; involves donating)


Reason: Black rarely does exchange or permanent control—blue excels at this. For color-accurate functional equivalents, options are currently limited.

    Rules

  • Abyssal Persecutor won't preclude an opponent's life total from reaching 0 or less. It will just preclude that player from losing the game as a result.
  • Effects that say the game is a draw, such as the _Legends_(TM) card Divine Intervention, are not affected by Abyssal Persecutor.
  • Even though your opponents can't lose the game, a player can't pay an amount of life that's greater than their life total. If a player's life total is 0 or less, that player can't pay life at all, with one exception: a player may always pay 0 life.
  • If Abyssal Persecutor leaves the battlefield while an opponent has 0 or less life, that opponent will lose the game as a state-based action. No player can respond between the time Abyssal Persecutor leaves the battlefield and the time that player loses the game.
  • No game effect can cause you to win the game or cause any opponent to lose the game while you control Abyssal Persecutor. It doesn't matter whether an opponent has 0 or less life, an opponent is forced to draw a card while their library is empty, an opponent has ten or more poison counters, an opponent is dealt combat damage by Phage the Untouchable, you control Felidar Sovereign and have 40 or more life, or so on. You keep playing.
  • Other circumstances can still cause an opponent to lose the game, however. An opponent will lose a game if they concede, if that player is penalized with a Game Loss or a Match Loss during a sanctioned tournament due to a DCI rules infraction, or if that player's Magic Online® game clock runs out of time.

    Rules

  • Any player can respond to Mindclaw Shaman’s triggered ability. However, once that ability starts resolving and the target opponent reveals their hand, players can’t respond until after the ability finishes resolving. For example, the opponent can’t cast the instant or sorcery card you choose to cast in order to stop you from casting it.
  • If the card has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.
  • If you can’t cast any instant or sorcery card (perhaps because there are no legal targets available) or if you choose not to cast one, then Mindclaw Shaman’s ability finishes resolving and the game moves on.
  • If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the card has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • The card goes to its owner’s graveyard after it resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), not yours.
  • You cast the card from the opponent’s hand immediately. Ignore timing restrictions based on the card’s type. Other timing restrictions, such as “Cast [this card] only during combat,” must be followed.
