AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Proteus Staff

Equivalent cards to Proteus Staff (blue) that manipulate the top of the library and/or swap creatures:

  • Polymorph — Changes a creature into the top creature of your library.
  • Mass Polymorph — Does similar for multiple creatures.
  • Divergent Transformations (red/blue hybrid use) — Exiles creatures, reveals until new ones.
  • Reality Scramble (red) — Works similarly but red, for more variety.


Reason: These cards all exchange creatures on the battlefield for creatures in your library, like Proteus Staff.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Undaunted

    Rules

  • Any abilities that trigger during the resolution of Divergent Transformations will wait to be put onto the stack until Divergent Transformations finishes resolving. An ability that triggers on the first creature entering the battlefield may target the second creature and vice versa.
  • Causing an opponent to lose the game after you've announced that you're casting a spell with undaunted and determined its total cost won't cause you to have to pay more mana.
  • Effects that reduce what you pay to cast a spell don't affect its mana value.
  • If one player's creatures are exiled this way, that player repeats this process twice.
  • If the controller of a creature exiled this way has no creature cards left in their library, that player reveals the cards in their library, then shuffles it.
  • If two players' creatures are exiled this way, start with the player whose turn it is. If that player controlled a creature exiled this way, that player follows the process on Divergent Transformations to replace it. If not, proceed to the next player in turn order. Repeat until the players who controlled the exiled creatures have each replaced those creatures.
  • The two creatures that are put onto the battlefield are put onto the battlefield sequentially. Triggered abilities of the second won't see the first enter the battlefield.
  • You can't cast Divergent Transformations without two target creatures. If a targeted creature becomes an illegal target for Divergent Transformations after it's been cast, its controller won't exile or replace that creature, but the other creature is still affected.

    Rules

  • All creatures you put onto the battlefield with Mass Polymorph enter at the same time.
  • Any abilities that trigger during the resolution of Mass Polymorph (such as a creature's "enters" ability) will wait to be put onto the stack until Mass Polymorph finishes resolving. The player whose turn it is will put all of their triggered abilities on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order will do the same. (The last ability put on the stack will be the first one that resolves.)
  • If the number of creatures you exile is greater than the number of creature cards remaining in your library, you'll wind up revealing your entire library, putting all creature cards revealed that way onto the battlefield, then shuffling your library.
  • The creatures you exile with Mass Polymorph remain exiled for the rest of the game.

    Rules

  • If there are no creatures in the player’s library, then the target creature is still destroyed, you see all the cards in that player’s library, and then they shuffle and continue play.
  • A “creature card” is any card with the type creature, even if it has other types such as artifact, enchantment, or land. Older cards of type summon are also creature cards.
  • If the targeted creature is an illegal target by the time Polymorph would resolve, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. Nothing else happens.
  • If there are no creature cards in the player’s library, all the cards in that library are revealed, then the library is shuffled. (The targeted creature remains destroyed.)
  • If the targeted creature has indestructible, it’s still a legal target — it just isn’t destroyed. The rest of Polymorph’s effect happens as normal.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Retrace

    Rules

  • Casting a card by using its retrace ability works just like casting any other spell, with two exceptions: You’re casting it from your graveyard rather than your hand, and you must discard a land card in addition to any other costs.
  • Casting a card with retrace from your graveyard follows the normal timing rules for its card type.
  • In most cases, at least one card in your library (the card you put on the bottom of your library) will share a card type with the target permanent. However, in some unusual situations, no cards in your library share a card type with the permanent (perhaps because the permanent was a token or its types were changed). In that case, you’ll reveal your entire library, put nothing onto the battlefield, and put the cards back in a random order.
  • Reality Scramble can target any permanent you own, including those another player controls. A token’s owner is the player who created it.
  • The target permanent’s last known existence on the battlefield is checked to determine its types.
  • When a retrace card you cast from your graveyard resolves or is countered, it’s put back into your graveyard. You may use the retrace ability to cast it again. If it’s your turn, you may do so before any other player may take actions to try to remove it from your graveyard.
  • You’ll stop as soon as you reveal a card that shares any card types with the target permanent. For example, if the target permanent is an artifact creature, you’ll stop as soon as you reveal a card that’s an artifact or a creature.
