6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Sphinx's Decree

Equivalent cards in white that affect opponents’ hands or spells:
1. Balance – Forces hand and board size reduction, though more broad.
2. Peace of Mind – Involves discarding but not opponent-only.
3. Rule of Law – Only allows one spell per player per turn (white, controls spells cast).
4. Archon of Emeria – Each player can't cast more than one spell (white, creature).
5. Ethersworn Canonist – Each player who cast a nonartifact spell can’t cast another (white, similar control).

Short reason: White typically restricts spellcasting, but few cards match Sphinx's Decree (opponents can't cast noncreature spells this turn) exactly; most control how many spells are cast, not a one-turn total restriction.

    Rules

  • Archon of Emeria looks at the entire turn to see if a player has cast a spell, even if Archon of Emeria wasn't on the battlefield when that spell was cast. Notably, you can't cast Archon of Emeria and then cast another spell during the same turn.
  • If an effect says that a land enters tapped unless a condition is met or a cost is paid, that land enters tapped even if that condition is met or that cost is paid if it's affected by Archon of Emeria's second ability.
  • If you cast a spell that was countered, you can't cast another spell during the same turn.

    Rules

  • Balance doesn't have targets, so permanents that can't be targeted, such as a creature with shroud or protection from white, are valid choices to be sacrificed.
  • Each type of object is counted during the corresponding part of the process. Cards in hand are counted after lands have been sacrificed, and creatures on the battlefield are counted after cards have been discarded. Thus, a land creature sacrificed to the first part of the spell would not be counted when determining how many creatures are on the battlefield for the last part.
  • First the player whose turn it is chooses which lands (if any) to keep, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by the players who chose before them. All of the unchosen lands are then sacrificed simultaneously. Then the process is repeated for cards in hand, except that no cards are revealed until all players have chosen what to discard, at which point those cards are all discarded simultaneously. Lastly, the process is repeated for creatures, and players will again know earlier choices made when deciding what to sacrifice. All of the unchosen creatures are then sacrificed simultaneously.

    Each player chooses a number of lands they control equal to the number of lands controlled by the player who controls the fewest, then sacrifices the rest. Playersdiscardcards andsacrificecreatures the same way.

    Rules

  • Each turn, each player can cast any number of artifact spells plus a maximum of one nonartifact spell.
  • Ethersworn Canonist takes into account spells that were cast earlier in the turn before Ethersworn Canonist entered the battlefield, including any spells that are somehow still on the stack. However, any spells on the stack as Ethersworn Canonist enters the battlefield have already been cast by that point, so they're not affected by it.
