5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Zaxara, the Exemplary

Cards equivalent to Zaxara, the Exemplary (Sultai: black, green, blue, mana, Hydra synergy, or X spell theme):
1. Gyruda, Doom of Depths – Sultai colors, unique theme, but focuses on mill/reanimation.
2. Kalamax, the Stormsire – Simic (blue-green), X spells/synergy, spellcasting.
3. Villainous Wealth – Sultai, X spell payoff, but not a creature.
4. Muldrotha, the Gravetide – Sultai colors, graveyard value.

Closest in mechanics but not exact: None that combine all elements (X spell, token creation, ramp, and Sultai colors) like Zaxara, but Kalamax is closest in spell synergy within similar colors.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Companion Mill

    Rules

  • A card with mana value 0 has an even mana value.
  • Before shuffling your deck to become your library, you may reveal one card from outside the game to be your companion if your starting deck meets the requirements of the companion ability. You can't reveal more than one. It remains revealed outside the game as the game begins.
  • If a card in a player's graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If a replacement effect causes a player to exile the top four cards of their library instead of putting them into their graveyard as Gyruda's triggered ability resolves, the creature card you choose may be one of those cards in exile.
  • If more than one player wishes to reveal a companion, the starting player does so first, and players proceed in turn order. Once a player has chosen not to reveal a companion, that player can't change their mind.
  • If you reveal a companion outside the game, for as long as it remains there, you may pay {3} any time you could cast a sorcery (that is, you have priority during your main phase and the stack is empty). Once you do, you put it into your hand and behaves like any other card you've brought into the game. For example, if it's discard, countered, or destroyed, it's put into your graveyard, remaining in the game. This is a change from previous rules.
  • Paying {3} to put your companion into your hand is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and players can't respond to it. Once you take this action, you may cast that card if it's legal to do so before any other player can take actions.
  • The companion ability has no effect if the card is in your starting deck and creates no restriction on putting a card with a companion ability into your starting deck. For example, Zirda may be in your starting deck even if your other permanent cards don't all have activated abilities.
  • The companion's other abilities apply only if the creature is on the battlefield. They have no effect while the companion is outside the game.
  • The requirements of the companion ability apply only to your starting deck. They do not apply to your sideboard.
  • You may have one companion in the Commander variant. Your deck, including your commander, must meet its companion requirement. Your companion is not one of your one hundred cards.
  • Your companion begins the game outside the game. In tournament play, this means your sideboard. In casual play, it's simply a card you own that's not in your starting deck.
  • If you reveal a companion outside the game, for as long as it remains there, you may pay {3} any time you could cast a sorcery (that is, you have priority during your main phase and the stack is empty). Once you do, you put it into your hand and behaves like any other card you've brought into the game. For example, if it's discarded, countered, or destroyed, it's put into your graveyard, remaining in the game. This is a change from previous rules.
  • Once you put your companion into your hand, it behaves like any other card you’ve brought into the game. For example, if it’s countered or destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard, remaining in the game.
  • Paying {3} to put your companion into your hand is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and players can't respond to it. Once you take this action, you may cast that card if it's legal to do so before any other player can take actions.
  • Wizards of the Coast has issued functional errata for the Companion mechanic. Instead of casting companions from outside the game: Once per game, any time you could cast a sorcery (during your main phase when the stack is empty), you can pay {3} to put your companion from your sideboard into your hand. This is a special action, not an activated ability. It happens immediately and can’t be responded to. It can’t be countered or stopped by cards like Phyrexian Revoker.

    Companion — Your starting deck contains only cards with even mana values. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for as a sorcery.) When Gyruda enters, each player mills four cards. Put a creature card with an even mana value from among the milled cards onto the battlefield under your control.

    Rules

  • A copy is created even if the spell that caused Kalamax's ability to trigger has been countered by the time that ability resolves. The copy resolves before the original spell.
  • An ability that triggers when a player copies a spell resolves before the copy. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • If Kalamax becomes tapped as a cost to cast your first instant spell in a turn, its first ability triggers.
  • If an effect copies a card rather than a spell (such as that of God-Eternal Kefnet), this doesn't cause Kalamax's last ability to trigger.
  • If an effect copies an instant spell multiple times, Kalamax's last ability triggers that many times.
  • If the spell that's copied has damage divided as it was cast, the division can't be changed, although the targets receiving that damage still can. The same is true of spells that distribute counters.
  • If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy created by Kalamax's first ability will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.
  • Kalamax's first ability considers the entire turn. If you cast an instant spell before Kalamax becomes tapped, its first ability won't trigger when you cast your second.
  • The copies that Kalamax's first ability creates are created on the stack, so they're not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
  • You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copy created by Kalamax's first ability. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too.

    Rules

  • For example, you may cast an artifact creature spell as your artifact spell and cast another artifact creature spell as your creature spell.
  • If a permanent card is put into your graveyard during your main phase and the stack is empty, you have a chance to cast it before any player may attempt to remove that card from your graveyard.
  • If multiple effects allow you to play a card from your graveyard, you must announce which permission you're using as you begin to play the card.
  • If you play a card from your graveyard and then have a new Muldrotha come under your control in the same turn, you may play another land or spell of that type from your graveyard that turn.
  • Once you begin to cast a spell, losing control of Muldrotha won't affect the spell.
  • Use the type of the card as it's played or cast to determine which permanent type to count it as. For example, if you cast a creature spell from your graveyard, you can cast a card with bestow as an enchantment spell.
  • You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions of the cards you play from your graveyard. For example, you can't use Muldrotha to play a land if you don't have an available land play or to cast a planeswalker spell during your end step.
  • You must pay the costs to cast a spell this way. If it has an alternative cost, you may cast it for that cost instead.

    Rules

  • Any cards you don't cast this way will remain in exile.
  • If a spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
  • You cast the spells one at a time as Villainous Wealth is resolving, choosing modes, targets, and so on. The last spell you cast will be the first one to resolve. Ignore timing restrictions based on the spells' types. Other timing restrictions, such as "Cast [this spell] only during combat," must be followed.
  • You choose which spells (if any) to cast as Villainous Wealth resolves. If you do, you do so as part of the resolution of Villainous Wealth. You can't wait to cast them later in the turn.

  • If the spell you cast has {X}{X} in its mana cost, the token gets only X counters, not twice X.
  • The Hydra token enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature. Any abilities that modify or trigger on this event apply. After the token is on the battlefield but before any player can take actions, +1/+1 counters are put onto the token.
  • The value of X in Zaxara's last ability is the value of X of the spell you cast.
