AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Skittering Cicada

Equivalent cards to Skittering Cicada (colorless, flash, buffs creatures with counters):

  • Spectral Adversary (blue, flash, enters with counters, buffs itself)
  • Endbringer (colorless, untaps, generates value)
  • Instantaneous Poltergeist (colorless, flash, buffs certain creatures — if new set)


Reason: Closest direct equivalents are uncommon for colorless flash creatures that interact with counters, so I included similar ones by function, not identical ability.

  • Activating the second activated ability after a creature has legally been declared as an attacker or blocker won't change or undo that attack or block.
  • Endbringer untaps at the same time as the active player's permanents. You can't choose to not untap it at that time.
  • If an effect states that Endbringer doesn't untap during your untap step, that effect won't apply during another player's untap step.

    Rules

  • If the colorless spell has {X} in its mana cost, use the value chosen for X when calculating that spell's mana value.
  • Skittering Cicada's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • Skittering Cicada's second ability applies only to casting spells. It does not, for example, change when you may activate abilities that can be activated "only as a sorcery."

    Flash You may cast colorless spells as though they had flash. Whenever you cast a colorless spell, until end of turn, this creature gains trample and gets +X/+X, where X is that spell's mana value.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flash Flying

    Rules

  • After you pay the {1}{U} cost one or more times, a second ability triggers and you choose the targets for it. Players may respond to the new ability at that point. As that ability resolves, Spectral Adversary gets its +1/+1 counters and the target permanents phase out.
  • An attacking or blocking creature that phases out is removed from combat.
  • Any continuous effects with a "for as long as" duration ignore phased-out objects. If ignoring those objects causes the effect's conditions to no longer be met, the duration will expire. For example, phasing out Mind Flayer will cause the duration of its continuous effect ("for as long as you control Mind Flayer") to expire.
  • As a permanent phases out, Auras and Equipment attached to it also phase out at the same time. Those Auras and Equipment will phase in at the same time that permanent does, and they'll phase in still attached to that permanent.
  • Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.
  • If an opponent gains control of one of your permanents, that permanent phases out, and the duration of the control-change effect expires before it phases back in, that permanent phases in under your control as that opponent's next untap step begins. If they leave the game before their next untap step, it phases in as the next untap step begins after their turn would have begun.
  • Permanents phase back in during their controller's untap step, immediately before that player untaps their permanents. Creatures that phase in this way are able to attack and pay a cost of {T} during that turn. If a permanent had counters on it when it phased out, it will have those counters when it phases back in.
  • Permanents that are phased out are treated as though they don't exist. They can't be the target of spells or abilities, their static abilities have no effect on the game, their triggered abilities can't trigger, they can't attack or block, and so on.
  • Phasing out doesn't cause any "leaves the battlefield" abilities to trigger. Similarly, phasing in won't cause any "enters the battlefield" abilities to trigger.
