AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Vengeful Archon

Equivalent cards in white that have similar effects (dealing damage based on damage received or combat with player interaction) include:

  • Stuffy Doll (redirects damage dealt to it to chosen player)
  • Pariah (damage dealt to you is dealt to enchanted creature, comboes with Stuffy Doll)
  • Arcbond (red, but can be used in Boros, causes damage to be dealt to each creature and player equal to the damage dealt to target creature)
  • Truefire Captain (white/red, whenever it's dealt damage, it deals that much to target player)


Reason: These cards punish opponents for attacking or dealing damage, just like Vengeful Archon.

    Rules

  • Damage dealt by the creature because of the ability Arcbond creates isn’t combat damage, even if it was combat damage that caused the ability to trigger.
  • If two Arcbonds have resolved targeting different creatures, and damage is dealt to one of them, the delayed triggered ability will cause that creature to deal damage to each other creature and player. This will cause the delayed triggered ability from the other Arcbond to trigger. The second creature will then deal damage to each other creature and player. This will continue until one or both of the creatures die or the game ends. If this doesn’t happen (perhaps because both creatures have indestructible and damage dealt to the players is being prevented), and no player breaks the loop, the game will be a draw.
  • The creature is the source of the new damage.
  • The delayed triggered ability Arcbond creates will trigger even if the target creature is dealt lethal damage. For example, if a 3/3 creature is targeted by Arcbond and later in the turn it blocks a 7/7 creature, the 3/3 creature will deal 7 damage each other creature and each player.

    Enchant

    Rules

  • If you control multiple Pariahs enchanting different creatures, you choose which redirection effect to apply. You can't divide damage dealt by one source or combat damage dealt by multiple creatures simultaneously. For example, if a spell would deal 6 damage to you and you control multiple Pariahs, you may have that 6 damage dealt to either of the enchanted creatures instead, but you can't choose to have 3 damage dealt to each one.
  • If you would be dealt combat damage, the damage dealt to the enchanted creature instead is still combat damage.

    Rules

  • A creature can be dealt an amount of damage greater than its toughness. For example, if Stuffy Doll is dealt 3 damage, its triggered ability deals 3 damage, not 1, to the chosen player.
  • If your life total is brought to 0 or less at the same time that Stuffy Doll is dealt damage, you lose the game before its triggered ability goes on the stack.

    Mentor

    Rules

  • If the creature with mentor leaves the battlefield with mentor on the stack, use its power as that creature last existed on the battlefield to determine whether the target creature has less power.
  • If the target creature’s power is no longer less than the attacking creature’s power as the ability resolves, mentor doesn’t add a +1/+1 counter. For example, if two 3/3 creatures with mentor attack and both mentor triggers target the same 2/2 creature, the first to resolve puts a +1/+1 counter on it and the second does nothing.
  • If your life total is brought to 0 or less at the same time that Truefire Captain is dealt damage, you lose the game before its triggered ability goes on the stack.
  • Mentor compares the power of the creature with mentor with that of the target creature at two different times: once as the triggered ability is put onto the stack, and once as the triggered ability resolves. If you wish to raise a creature’s power so its mentor ability can target a bigger creature, the last chance you have to do so is during the beginning of combat step.
  • Truefire Captain’s last ability will trigger even if it is dealt lethal damage. For example, if it’s dealt damage by a 7/7 creature it’s blocking, its ability will trigger and Truefire Captain will deal 7 damage to the target player.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flying

    Rules

  • If Vengeful Archon’s ability doesn’t prevent any damage (perhaps because a different prevention effect is applied to the damage that would be dealt to you, or because the damage is unpreventable), Vengeful Archon won’t deal any damage itself.
  • If Vengeful Archon’s ability prevents damage, Vengeful Archon deals its damage immediately afterward as part of that same prevention effect. This happens before state-based actions are checked, and before any player can cast spells or activate abilities. If a spell or ability would have caused that damage to be dealt, this happens before that spell or ability resumes its resolution.
  • If multiple effects modify how damage will be dealt, the player who would be dealt damage chooses the order to apply the effects. For example, say you’ve activated Vengeful Archon’s ability with X = 3 targeting Player A, and you’ve activated Vengeful Archon’s ability with X = 1 targeting Player B. You’re dealt 2 damage. You can apply the first prevention effect (dealing 2 damage to Player A), or you can apply the second prevention effect (dealing 1 damage to Player B) followed by the first prevention effect (dealing 1 damage to Player A). The unused portions of the prevention effects remain.
  • If the amount of damage that would be dealt to you is in excess of the amount of damage that Vengeful Archon’s ability would prevent, that source deals its excess damage to you at the same time that the rest of it is prevented. Then Vengeful Archon deals its damage.
  • If the targeted player is an illegal target by the time the ability resolves, the entire ability doesn’t resolve. No damage will be prevented.
  • If you would be dealt combat damage by multiple attacking creatures, you choose which of that damage to prevent. For example, if X is 3 and you’d be dealt combat damage by a 1/3 Scroll Thief and a 3/5 Siege Mastodon, you might choose to prevent 1 damage from the Scroll Thief and 2 damage from the Siege Mastodon. You don’t decide until the point at which the creatures would deal their damage.
  • The effect of Vengeful Archon’s ability is not a redirection effect. If it prevents damage, Vengeful Archon (not the source of that damage) deals damage to the targeted player as part of that prevention effect. Vengeful Archon is the source of the new damage, so the characteristics of the original source (such as its color, or whether it had lifelink or deathtouch) don’t affect this damage. The new damage is not combat damage, even if the prevented damage was.
  • The only target of Vengeful Archon’s ability is the player it may deal damage to. You choose that target as you activate the ability, not at the time it prevents damage.
  • Vengeful Archon’s ability doesn’t have you choose a source of damage. It will apply to the next X damage you would be dealt that turn, regardless of where that damage comes from. It doesn’t matter whether the damage would all be dealt at the same time. For example, if X is 4 and you’d be dealt 3 damage by Lightning Bolt, that 3 damage is prevented and Vengeful Archon deals 3 damage to the targeted player. The prevention effect will still apply to the next 1 damage you’d be dealt that turn.
  • Whether the targeted player is still a legal target is no longer checked after Vengeful Archon’s ability resolves. For example, if a player targeted by Vengeful Archon’s ability puts Leyline of Sanctity (which says “You can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control”) onto the battlefield after the ability resolves but before it prevents damage, the ability will still prevent damage and still deal damage to that player. If Vengeful Archon can’t deal damage to the targeted player (because the player is no longer in the game in a multiplayer game, for example), it will still prevent damage. It just won’t deal any damage itself.
