5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Psychic Surgery

Equivalent cards to Psychic Surgery (blue, affects opponent's library/top cards):
1. Mindlock Orb – Players can’t search libraries.
2. Stranglehold (red, not blue) – Players can’t search libraries.
3. Obstinate Familiar – Players may skip shuffling (niche, not the same).
4. Aven Mindcensor (white/blue with flashback) – Opponents search top 4 cards instead.

Closest blue equivalents are Mindlock Orb and Aven Mindcensor for restricting library searching.
Reason: Blue doesn't have many cards specifically interacting with search as Psychic Surgery does.

    Rules

  • After the search is complete, the entire library is shuffled.
  • Each search works exactly the same as normal except that the opponent doing the searching sees only the top four cards of that library. They can't look at the other cards in that library at all. Cards not in the top four cards of the library can't be found in the search, even if they're identifiable in some manner.
  • For effects that check whether a player searched a library or may search a library, searching the top four cards of that library counts as searching that library.
  • If an effect uses the word "search" once but allows an opponent to search for multiple cards, the top four cards remain the same throughout the entire search. Finding one card won't cause the fifth card to become included in the search.

    Rules

  • Effects that instruct you to reveal or look at cards from the top of you library will still work. Only effects that use the word "search" are affected.
  • If an effect says "Search your library . . . then shuffle your library," you shuffle you libraries even though you can't search.
  • If an effect says "You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library" or "You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library," you can't choose to search, so you won't shuffle.
  • The only difference between a colored artifact and a colorless artifact is, obviously, its color. Unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact requires colored mana to cast. Also unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact has a color in all zones. It will interact with cards that care about color. Other than that, a colored artifact behaves just like any other artifact. It will interact as normal with any card that cares about artifacts, such as Shatter or Arcbound Ravager.

  • If your opponent’s library has one card in it and they are instructed to shuffle that library, Psychic Surgery will trigger. You may’ exile the one card in that library.
  • In most cases, Green Sun’s Zenith instructs you to shuffle your library twice. Although shuffling that library only once is an acceptable shortcut, Psychic Surgery’s ability will still trigger twice.
  • You look at the top two cards of that library as the triggered ability resolves. That happens after your opponent is done shuffling.

    Whenever an opponent shuffles their library, you may look at the top two cards of that library. You may exile one of those cards. Then put the rest on top of that library in any order.

  • An “extra turn” means a turn created by a spell or ability. It doesn’t refer to a turn taken in a sanctioned tournament after the time limit for the round has expired.
  • Effects that instruct your opponents to reveal or look at cards from the top of their libraries will still work. Only effects that use the word “search” are affected.
  • If an effect says “Search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents shuffle their libraries even though they can’t search.
  • If an effect says “You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library” or “You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents can’t choose to search, so they won’t shuffle.
  • If an opponent’s extra turn is created while Stranglehold is on the battlefield, but Stranglehold leaves the battlefield before that turn would begin, that opponent takes the extra turn as normal.
