"Find me cards equivalent to: Academy Researchers"

Equivalent cards to Academy Researchers (blue, Human Wizard, enter-the-battlefield attach Aura):
1. Academy Researchers itself
2. Sovereigns of Lost Alara (blue/white) — broader, but attaches an Aura from your library.
3. Eldrazi Conscription combo (blue deck friendly, needs enablers like Zur the Enchanter) but not strictly Academy Researchers.


Reason: Academy Researchers is unique in mono-blue for this Aura effect. Only Sovereigns of Lost Alara is truly similar but not mono-blue. No direct equivalents in mono-blue.

    Rules

  • Annihilator abilities trigger and resolve during the declare attackers step. The defending player chooses and sacrifices the required number of permanents before they declare blockers. Any creatures sacrificed this way won't be able to block.
  • Eldrazi Conscription is an Eldrazi. However, it doesn't turn the enchanted creature into an Eldrazi.
  • If a creature with annihilator is attacking a planeswalker, and the defending player chooses to sacrifice that planeswalker, the attacking creature continues to attack. It may be blocked. If it isn't blocked, it simply won't deal combat damage to anything.
  • If a creature has multiple instances of annihilator, each triggers separately when that creature attacks.
  • Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.
  • This card was originally printed with the "tribal" card type. That card type has been replaced with "kindred". This change does not affect the gameplay function of this card.
  • While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.

    Exalted

    Rules

  • Any Aura card you find with Sovereigns of Lost Alara's second ability must be able to enchant the attacking creature as it currently exists. You need to check the Aura's enchant ability as well as any effects, such as protection, that would make it illegal to attach that Aura to the attacking creature. For example, if the attacking creature were an artifact creature with protection from blue, you could find an Aura with "enchant artifact," but you could not find a blue Aura.
  • If the attacking creature has left the battlefield by the time Sovereigns of Lost Alara's second ability resolves, you can't put an Aura onto the battlefield this way. You may still choose to search your library just to shuffle it.
  • If you choose to search your library but no applicable Aura card is left in your deck (or you choose not to find one), then nothing enters and you simply shuffle your library.
  • The attacking creature is not targeted by either this ability or the Aura, so a creature with shroud can be enchanted this way.
  • Any Aura card you find with Sovereigns of Lost Alara's second ability must be able to enchant the attacking creature as it currently exists. You need to check the Aura's enchant ability as well as any effects, such as protection, that would make it illegal to attach that Aura to the attacking creature. For example, if the attacking creature were an artifact creature with protection from blue, you could find an Aura with "enchant artifact," but you could not find a blue Aura.

    Rules

  • If you put an Aura card onto the battlefield with Zur's ability, you choose what it will enchant as it enters the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn't target anything (so it could be attached to an opponent's permanent with hexproof, for example), but the Aura's enchant ability restricts what it can be attached to. If the Aura can't legally be attached to anything, it remains in your library.
