5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Tainted Aether

Equivalent cards in black that also punish creatures entering the battlefield include:

  • Grave Pact — Forces opponents to sacrifice creatures when yours die.
  • Dictate of Erebos — Same as above but with flash.
  • Pestilence — Punishes all creatures, not just new ones.
  • Oppression — Forces discards for casting spells (related punishment).

Short reason: There are few exact parallels to Tainted Aether, but these create similar oppressive board states in black.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Dictate of Erebos's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
  • If you and an opponent each control a Dictate of Erebos and a creature dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Dictate of Erebos will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Dictate of Erebos to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Dictate of Erebos and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • None of the opponents are targeted. An opponent with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Grave Pact's ability will trigger that many times.
  • If two players each control a Grave Pact and a creature controlled by one of those players dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of that player's Grave Pact will trigger, causing each other player to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Grave Pact to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Grave Pact and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each other player will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, when a creature you control dies, Grave Pact's triggered ability will cause each other player, including your teammate, to sacrifice a creature. Grave Pact's ability won't trigger when a creature your teammate controls dies.
  • None of the players are targeted. A player with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if it isn't your turn) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Rules

  • Each activation is considered a new damage effect. An activation can only be 1 point of damage.
  • It will stay on the battlefield if there is a creature that is put into the graveyard during the end step. This is because this ability will not trigger at all if there is at least one creature on the battlefield as the end step begins.
  • Note that "until end of turn" effects wear off after "at the beginning of the end step" triggered abilities, so an artifact that animates until end of turn can keep this on the battlefield.
