"Find me cards equivalent to: Thorn Lieutenant"

Equivalent cards to Thorn Lieutenant (green, creature, with protection or token creation when targeted) include:

  • Gyre Sage (not quite the same, but is a green Elf that gets bigger)
  • Quirion Ranger (green Elf, but with a different ability)
  • Druid's Call (enchantment makes tokens when damage dealt, not targeting)

Closest functional equivalents:

  • Destiny Spinner (green and gets better when targeted, but does not make tokens)
  • Trollbred Guardian (green, can pump itself, but doesn't make tokens)
  • Rebuff the Wicked (does not make tokens, white spell)
  • Imara, Tandris (green, creates tokens, but not when targeted)

No exact match, but Thorn Lieutenant is the only green Elf that makes a token when targeted by an opponent and can pump itself. Most similar is Oran-Rief Ooze for token or counter synergy, but not the same effect.


Reason: Green usually gets token creation with other conditions, not as a protection trigger like Thorn Lieutenant.

    Rules

  • A spell or ability that counters spells can still target spells that can't be countered. When that spell or ability resolves, the uncounterable spell won't be countered, but any additional effects of the countering spell or ability will still happen.
  • Destiny Spinner's activated ability doesn't untap the land that becomes a creature.
  • Destiny Spinner's first ability applies only while it's on the battlefield. While it's a spell, it can be countered.
  • If you activate Destiny Spinner's ability more than once in a turn, the value of X may be different each time. If you choose the same land as the target more than once, the most recent effect (and most recent value of X) applies.
  • If you control no enchantments at the time Destiny Spinner's activated ability resolves, the land becomes a 0/0 creature and is put into its owner's graveyard unless another effect is raising its toughness.
  • The value of X is determined only as Destiny Spinner's activated ability resolves. Once that happens, the creature's base power and toughness won't change later in the turn even if the number of enchantments you control changes.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Evolve

    Rules

  • Gyre Sage's last ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
  • If a creature enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it, consider those counters when determining if evolve will trigger. For example, a 1/1 creature that enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it will cause the evolve ability of a 2/2 creature to trigger.
  • If evolve triggers, the stat comparison will happen again when the ability tries to resolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, the ability will do nothing. If the creature that entered the battlefield leaves the battlefield before evolve tries to resolve, use its last known power and toughness to compare the stats.
  • If multiple creatures enter the battlefield at the same time, evolve may trigger multiple times, although the stat comparison will take place each time one of those abilities tries to resolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 creature with evolve and two 3/3 creatures enter the battlefield, evolve will trigger twice. The first ability will resolve and put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve. When the second ability tries to resolve, neither the power nor the toughness of the new creature is greater than that of the creature with evolve, so that ability does nothing.
  • When comparing the stats as the evolve ability resolves, it's possible that the stat that's greater changes from power to toughness or vice versa. If this happens, the ability will still resolve and you'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 creature with evolve and a 1/3 creature enters the battlefield under your control, it toughness is greater so evolve will trigger. In response, the 1/3 creature gets +2/-2. When the evolve trigger tries to resolve, its power is greater. You'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve.
  • When comparing the stats of the two creatures for evolve, you always compare power to power and toughness to toughness.
  • Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, check its power and toughness against the power and toughness of the creature with evolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, evolve won't trigger at all.
