AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Tainted Remedy

Try these equivalents:
1. Platinum Emperion — Prevents your life total from changing.
2. Rain of Gore — Black-red: Life gain turns into life loss for opponents.
3. Everlasting Torment — All damage is dealt as though it had wither; players can’t gain life.


Reason: All restrict or invert life gain, similar to Tainted Remedy (Black, two color bleed for Rain of Gore).

    Rules

  • Effects that replace an event with gaining life (like Words of Worship’s effect does) will end up replacing the event with nothing.
  • Effects that would replace gaining life with some other effect won’t be able to do anything because it’s impossible for players to gain life.
  • If a cost includes life gain (like Invigorate’s alternative cost does), that cost can’t be paid.
  • If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, and that number is higher than your current life total, that effect will normally cause you to gain life equal to the difference. With Everlasting Torment on the battlefield, that part of the effect won’t do anything. (If the number is lower than your current life total, the effect will work as normal.)
  • Spells and abilities that replace or redirect damage aren’t affected by Everlasting Torment’s second ability. They’ll work as normal.
  • Spells and abilities that would normally cause a player to gain life still resolve, but the life-gain part simply has no effect.
  • The last ability affects all damage, whether it’s dealt by creatures, other permanents, spells, or cards that aren’t on the battlefield. Wither works everywhere.
  • The “damage can’t be prevented” statement overrides all forms of preventing damage, including protection abilities. Damage prevention spells and abilities can still be cast and played; they just don’t do anything.

    Players can't gain life. Damage can't be prevented. All damage is dealt as though its source had wither. (A source with wither deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.)

    Rules

  • Abilities that trigger whenever damage is dealt to you will still trigger because that damage is still dealt, even though your life total doesn’t change as a result.
  • Effects that replace an event with having you gain life (like Words of Worship’s effect does) or having you lose life will end up replacing the event with nothing.
  • Effects that would replace having you gain life with some other event won’t be able to be applied because it’s impossible for you to gain life.
  • If a cost would include causing you to gain life (like the alternative cost of an opponent’s Invigorate does), that cost can’t be paid.
  • If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, that part of the effect won’t do anything.
  • If an effect would cause you to exchange life totals with another player, the exchange won’t happen. Neither player’s life total changes.
  • In a Commander game, the damage dealt to you by commanders will still be counted, even if that damage doesn’t cause you to lose life.
  • Platinum Emperion’s ability doesn’t prevent damage. Rather, it changes the results of that damage. For example, if a creature with lifelink deals damage to you, you won’t lose any life, but its controller will still gain that much life. Similarly, if a creature you control with lifelink deals damage to another player, that player will lose life but you won’t gain any life.
  • Spells and abilities that would normally cause you to gain or lose life still resolve, but the life-gain or life-loss part simply has no effect.
  • You can’t pay a cost that includes the payment of any amount of life other than 0 life. However, you can choose to be dealt damage, even though that damage won’t result in your life total changing.

    If a spell or ability would cause its controller to gain life, that player loses that much life instead.

    Rules

  • Having more than one Tainted Remedy on the battlefield doesn’t have any noticeable effect on life gain. Once the effect of one Tainted Remedy applies, there is no life gain for the others to apply to.
  • If more than one replacement effect tries to apply to a life gain event, the player who would gain life chooses the order in which they apply. For example, if a player who controls Alhammarret’s Archive would gain 3 life while Tainted Remedy is on the battlefield, that player may choose to have the 3 life become doubled to 6 life and then lose 6 life. The player may also choose to apply Tainted Remedy first, turning “gain 3 life” into “lose 3 life.” Alhammarret’s Archive would then not apply.
