"Find me cards equivalent to: Ascendant Spirit"

Equivalent cards to Ascendant Spirit (blue, snow, creature, upgrade abilities):
1. Figure of Destiny — Similar upgrade tree, but red/white hybrid.
2. Warden of the First Tree — Green/white/black, similar level-up.
3. Pyre of Heroes (not a creature, but upgrades via tribal change).
4. Loyal Guardian (has upgrade, but not snow or blue).
5. Stromkirk Captain (not snow or blue, supports upgrade/vampire).

Closest in blue: None exactly in mono-blue, but Chillerpillar (blue, snow, creature) has {S}{S} upgrade, but not as complex.

Summary: Ascendant Spirit is unique in mono-blue for snow and upgrade tree. Chillerpillar is closest in blue snow creatures with a power-up ability. Example:

  • Chillerpillar: 
    3U: Monstrosity 2 ({3U}: If this creature isn't monstrous, put two +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.)
When Chillerpillar becomes monstrous, it gains flying.

All other closest equivalents aren't blue or lack snow synergy.

    Rules

  • Activating the second ability after Ascendant Spirit has already been legally blocked by a creature without flying or reach won't change or undo that block.
  • Any effects that modify Ascendant Spirit's power or toughness without setting it to a specific value will apply after its base power and toughness are set, regardless of the order in which those effects were created. The same is true of counters that modify its power and toughness.
  • Any of Ascendant Spirit's abilities may be activated repeatedly. Multiple flying counters on the same permanent provide no additional benefit; however, each time the last ability resolves while Ascendant Spirit is an Angel will give Ascendant Spirit two more +1/+1 counters and cause it to gain another instance of the triggered ability. All of those instances trigger separately.
  • None of Ascendant Spirit's abilities has a duration. If one of them resolves, it will remain in effect until Ascendant Spirit leaves the battlefield or a subsequent effect changes its characteristics.
  • Snow is a supertype, not a card type. It has no rules meaning or function by itself, but spells and abilities may refer to it.
  • Snow isn't a type of mana. If an effect says you may spend mana as though it were any type, you can't pay for {S} using mana that wasn't produced by a snow source.
  • Some cards have additional effects for each {S} spent to cast them. You can cast these spells even if you don't spend any snow mana to cast them; their additional effects simply won't do anything.
  • The Kaldheim set doesn't have any cards with mana costs that include {S}, but some previous sets do. If an effect says such a spell costs {1} less to cast, that reduction doesn't apply to any {S} costs. This is also true for activated abilities that include {S} in their activation costs and effects that reduce those costs.
  • The first and second abilities cause Ascendant Spirit to lose any other creature types it may have. It retains any card types or supertypes it may have.
  • The first and second abilities overwrite any previous effects that set Ascendant Spirit's base power and toughness to specific values. Any effects that set Ascendant Spirit's base power and toughness that start to apply after one of these abilities will override the effect of that ability.
  • The {S} symbol is a generic mana symbol. It represents a cost that can be paid by one mana that was produced by a snow source. That mana can be any color or colorless.

    Monstrosity

    Rules

  • Chillerpillar gaining flying after it becomes blocked won’t remove the blocking creature from combat or cause Chillerpillar to become unblocked.
  • Monstrous isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature, loses its abilities, or loses its +1/+1 counters, it will continue to be monstrous.
  • Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can’t become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

    Rules

  • Figure of Destiny's abilities overwrite its power, toughness, and creature types. Typically, those abilities are activated in the order they appear on the card. However, if Figure of Destiny is an 8/8 Kithkin Spirit Warrior Avatar with flying and first strike, and you activate its first ability, it will become a 2/2 Kithkin Spirit that still has flying and first strike.
  • Figure of Destiny's second ability checks whether it's a Spirit, and its third ability checks whether it's a Warrior. It doesn't matter how it became the appropriate creature type.
  • None of these abilities has a duration. If one of them resolves, it will remain in effect until the game ends, Figure of Destiny leaves the battlefield, or some subsequent effect changes its characteristics, whichever comes first.
  • You can activate Figure of Destiny's second and third abilities regardless of what creature types it is. Each of those abilities checks Figure of Destiny's creature types when that ability resolves. If Figure of Destiny isn't the appropriate creature type at that time, the ability does nothing.
  • The effect from the ability overwrites other effects that set power and/or toughness if and only if those effects existed before the ability resolved. It will not overwrite effects that modify power or toughness (whether from a static ability, counters, or a resolved spell or ability), nor will it overwrite effects that set power and toughness which come into existence after the ability resolves. Effects that switch the creature's power and toughness are always applied after any other power or toughness changing effects, including this one, regardless of the order in which they are created.

  • If you have multiple commanders, you need to control only one for the lieutenant effect to happen.
  • The lieutenant effect happens only once each combat, even if you somehow control multiple commanders (perhaps because you have two commanders with a partner ability from the Battlebond™ set).

  • If a permanent or a card in a library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • Once you announce that you're activating the activated ability, no player may take actions until the ability has been paid for. Notably, opponents can't try to remove one of your creatures to stop you from sacrificing it.
  • Use the creature types and mana value of the creature you sacrificed as it existed on the battlefield to determine what creature card you can find. Notably, if you sacrifice a creature that's a double-faced permanent with its back face up, you'll use the characteristics of the back face, not the front face.
