"Find me cards equivalent to: Tug of War"

There are no exact equivalents to Tug of War, as subgames are rare in MTG. The closest is Shahrazad, another subgame card, but it is white, not green. For green sorceries with unique or subgame-like effects, there aren’t direct parallels, but for unusual high-impact, game-changing green sorceries, Genesis Wave or Tooth and Nail come closest:

  • Tug of War (your search)
  • Genesis Wave (sorcery, green, puts permanents from library onto battlefield)
  • Tooth and Nail (sorcery, green, puts creatures from library onto battlefield)


Reason: None mimic the subgame effect exactly, but these are similarly epic, high-impact green sorceries.

  • A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
  • All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

  • At the start of the sub-game both players draw their initial hand (usually 7 cards). If one player has fewer cards than required, that player loses. If both have fewer than required, both players lose.
  • Events in a Shahrazad sub-game do not normally trigger abilities in the main game. And continuous effects in the main game do not carry over into the sub-game.
  • You randomly chose which player chooses to go first or draw first.
  • At the end of a subgame, each player puts all cards they own that are in the subgame into their library in the main game, then shuffles them. This includes cards in the subgame’s Exile zone.

    Rules

  • After subgame mulligans are complete, the starting player puts the cards they set aside onto the battlefield. Each other player in turn order does the same.
  • After the subgame ends, each player shuffles their cards from the subgame to re-form their main-game library (and Attraction deck, if applicable), and they return to the main game from the point they left off, with Tug of War finishing resolving and the winner of the subgame getting their reward. No counters, stickers, or other effects from the subgame move back into the main game.
  • As players are shuffling their main-game libraries to form their subgame libraries, they should set aside the cards they wish to have on the subgame battlefield as the subgame begins.
  • If a player has fewer than seven cards in their main-game library, they’ll lose the subgame as it begins, regardless of how many mulligans that player takes.
  • If any abilities trigger during this process, they’ll be put on the stack the next time a player gets priority, usually during the subgame’s first upkeep.
  • If the subgame is a draw, no player won the subgame, so nobody gets to put a permanent onto the battlefield in the main game.
  • In a Commander game, if a commander is in the command zone, its owner puts it into the command zone of the subgame and removes all stickers from it. After the subgame, each player may put any commanders they own in the subgame into the command zone of the main game. If a commander was in the command zone of the subgame, it automatically moves to the command zone of the main game.
  • In a Constructed format, each player selects a new set of sticker sheets at the start of the subgame from among all sticker sheets they have (including the ones in the main game) the same way they do at the start of a normal game of Magic. This doesn’t impact the sticker sheets they are allowed to use in the main game.
  • In a Limited format, each player selects three sticker sheets at the start of the subgame from among all sticker sheets they opened (including the ones in the main game) the same way they would at the start of a normal game of Magic. This doesn’t have any effect on which sticker sheets they are allowed to use in the main game.
  • The card that the subgame winner puts onto the main-game battlefield doesn’t have to come from the subgame battlefield. It could have died, been shuffled into a library, or anything else during the subgame.
  • To play a subgame, all players start a new game using their libraries as their decks. Any supplementary decks a player has (for example, an Attraction deck) also get shuffled and brought into the subgame. No other cards, tokens, emblems, or anything else from the main game are included in the subgame unless otherwise specified here or in the effect that created that subgame.

    Players play a subgame starting at 5 life and with up to three permanent cards with different names from their main-game library on the battlefield. As the subgame ends, the winner chooses one of the cards they put onto the battlefield as the subgame began and puts it onto the battlefield rather than shuffling it into their library.
