AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Rootwater Shaman

Cards equivalent to Rootwater Shaman (lets you play Merfolk as instants):

  • Wily Goblin (red, not blue, but creates a treasure, not equivalent)
  • Vodalian Arcanist (lets you cast instant/sorcery like Rootwater but not creature, not equivalent)

Closest blue equivalent:

  • Surprise Deployment (blue, lets you put a creature onto battlefield as instant)
  • Flash (lets you play any creature with flash-speed, but it gets sacrificed)


Reason: There are no other blue Merfolk that grant the ability to cast Merfolk as though they had flash; Rootwater Shaman is unique. Most equivalent is Flash.

  • If the creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If you choose not to pay, the creature is sacrificed immediately. No player will get priority in between the creature entering the battlefield and being sacrificed. Sacrificing the creature this way will trigger any abilities that trigger when it leaves the battlefield, and those abilities will be put onto the stack at the same time as those that triggered when it entered the battlefield.
  • Only the generic mana in that creature's mana cost is reduced. For example, if that creature's mana cost is {1}{R}, you'll have to pay {R} to keep it.
  • The creature enters the battlefield, so it will trigger enters-the-battlefield abilities even if you choose not to pay.
