Looking for cards with similar effect to Simic Guildmage's aura ability?

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on April 4, 2018, 12:30 p.m. by Yesterday

Hey there. I'm building a new commander deck and really like the aura moving ability of Simic Guildmage. I wanted to build around that a bit but also would like to put some redundancy in the deck so I don't need to specifically tutor for the Guildmage every game.

Though I'm currently building a Sultai deck I'd be interested to know if there are any off-colour sorts because it's still an interesting ability to me. I'm not really sure what to look up on gatherer to find such a card, though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

You could flicker the aura to exile and return it to the battlefield under your control. Pursuant to Rule 303.4f, you are allowed to choose a legal object or player for the Aura to enchant as it enters the battlefield.

Interestingly, this rule does not cause the aura to target--as such, you can even put the Aura on creatures with hexproof or shroud.

Search for "Attach target Aura" (don't use the quotes). There aren't that many, though, and the search returns a fair amount of stuff you're not looking for, but it should have everything you want. Copy Enchantment might help.

Catalog9000 If you can get the parts moving together, that would get some style points.

It'll definitely require some tinkering but I'll enjoy trying to build something around this. Thanks very much for the info, folks! Have a good one. =)
