4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Showstopping Surprise

Equivalent cards to Showstopping Surprise in red and green that give a creature indestructible and deal damage to opponents include:

  • Heroic Intervention (green, grants indestructible & hexproof, but not damage)
  • Tamiyo's Safekeeping (green, grants indestructible and life gain)
  • Moment of Defiance (green, grants indestructible temporarily)
  • No direct red/green equivalent that copies the full damage-dealing aspect—red usually deals damage but doesn't grant indestructible.


Reason: Showstopping Surprise is unique in combining both effects; most red/green spells only provide one aspect.

  • A planeswalker with indestructible still loses loyalty counters as it's dealt damage and will still be put into its owner's graveyard if its loyalty reaches 0.
  • The set of permanents affected by Heroic Intervention is determined as the spell resolves. Permanents you begin to control later in the turn won't gain hexproof and indestructible.
  • A battle with indestructible still loses defense counters as it's dealt damage. If it's a Siege, it will still be exiled when the last defense counter is removed from it, and its controller may still cast it transformed without paying its mana cost.

  • If the target creature is a face-down creature that can’t be turned face up for any reason, it will remain face down on the battlefield and still deal damage equal to its power (which is very likely to be 2) to each other creature.
