4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Unhallowed Phalanx

Equivalent cards to Unhallowed Phalanx (Black, high-toughness, low-cost, defender-type creatures):

  • Wall of Limbs (black, 0/3, defender, gets bigger)
  • Nyxathid (black, high toughness/stats depending on opponent’s hand)
  • Death's Shadow (black, high power/toughness for cheap, some setup)


Reason: All are black, low-cost, and focus on tough creatures for early defense. However, exact equivalents are rare since Unhallowed Phalanx is uniquely a 1/13 Zombie. Try Dread Sentinel (black, high toughness at 2/6) for a closer feel.

  • If your life total is negative, X is considered to be 0.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, your life total is your team's life total.
  • The value of X changes as you gain and lose life. It's not locked in as Death's Shadow enters the battlefield.

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability causes the chosen player to draw cards and then discard cards, Nyxathid's power and toughness changes accordingly as that spell or ability is resolving. For example, if the chosen player has five cards in hand and a spell causes that player to draw two cards then discard two cards, Nyxathid will start out as 2/2, then become 1/1, 0/0, and finally 2/2. This is because cards are always drawn one at a time, but multiple cards may be discarded at once. Although Nyxathid momentarily had 0 toughness while that spell was resolving, it isn't put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action because state-based actions aren't checked until the spell has finished resolving.
  • In a multiplayer game, if the chosen player leaves the game, Nyxathid's second ability simply won't do anything anymore.
  • Nyxathid tracks the hand size of the chosen player even if that player ceases to be an opponent of its controller. (This could happen if that player gains control of Nyxathid, for example.)
  • Nyxathid's two abilities are linked: The second one refers only to the player chosen by the first one. If another creature becomes a copy of Nyxathid (due to Mirrorweave, for example), the second ability won't do anything because a player was never chosen as a result of the first ability. This is true even if a different ability allowed a player to be chosen as that creature entered.

    Defender

    Rules

  • If you gain life at the same time Wall of Limbs is dealt lethal damage (probably because you control a blocking creature with lifelink), Wall of Limbs’s triggered ability will trigger, but Wall of Limbs will be destroyed before the ability resolves.
  • The ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it’s 1 life from Soulmender or 8 life from Meditation Puzzle.
  • Use Wall of Limbs’s power as it last existed on the battlefield, including any +1/+1 counters it had, to determine the value of X.
