5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Ruric Thar, the Unbowed

Equivalent cards to Ruric Thar, the Unbowed (Gruul, punishes noncreature spells) include:

  • Vexing Shusher – Gruul, protects your spells.
  • Leovold, Emissary of Trest (not Gruul, but similar disruption).
  • Vexing Shusher – redundancy for resilient creature focus, still Gruul.
  • Burning-Tree Shaman – Gruul, deals damage for activated abilities.
  • Spellbreaker Behemoth – Gruul, makes creatures uncounterable.


Reason: Gruul creatures that disrupt or punish noncreature-centric strategies are close equivalents; direct punisher effects like Ruric Thar are unique, but these tap into similar design spaces.

    Rules

  • If an opponent hasn’t drawn any cards in a turn and a spell or ability instructs that player to draw multiple cards, that player will just draw one card. However, if the draws are optional, the player can’t choose to draw, even if they could draw one card this way.
  • If you and a permanent you control each become the target of the same spell or ability an opponent controls, Leovold’s ability will trigger twice. The same is true if two permanents you control become the target of the same spell or ability an opponent controls.
  • Leovold will “see” cards drawn by opponents earlier in the turn before it entered the battlefield, although Leovold can’t affect cards drawn before it entered the battlefield. For example, if an opponent draws two cards, then Leovold enters the battlefield, that opponent can’t draw more cards that turn, but the two drawn cards are unaffected.
  • Replacement effects (such as that of dredge or Laboratory Maniac’s ability) can’t be used to replace draws that Leovold disallows. However, if an opponent’s first draw is replaced (by a dredge ability, for example), that draw didn’t happen and Leovold won’t stop the next draw.
  • Your opponents can draw a maximum of one card each on each player’s turn. Subsequent card draws during that turn are ignored.

    Each opponent can't draw more than one card each turn. Whenever you or a permanent you control becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, you may draw a card.

    Reach Vigilance

    Rules

  • If Ruric Thar can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player's control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so Ruric Thar doesn't have to attack in that case either.
  • Ruric Thar's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability will resolve even if that spell is countered.
  • Ruric Thar's triggered ability triggers whenever any player casts a noncreature spell, including you.

  • Effects that affect a creature’s power (such as the one from Glorious Anthem, for example) apply only to creatures on the battlefield, not to creature spells on the stack.
