"Find me cards equivalent to: Backup Agent"

Equivalent cards to Backup Agent include:

  • Ainok Bond-Kin (W, enters with a +1/+1 counter synergy)
  • Syr Faren, the Hengehammer (G, not white, but similar +1/+1 counter effect—excluded due to color)
  • Shape the Sands (G, instant, not a white creature—excluded)
  • Luminarch Aspirant (W, puts +1/+1 counters on creatures regularly)
  • Selesnya Guildmage (W/G, can put +1/+1 counters, multicolored)
  • Abzan Falconer (W, places +1/+1 counters through Outlast)

Best white equivalents focusing on the triggered +1/+1 counter when entering (also human or citizen if possible):

  • Lone Rider (W, not exactly the same effect)
  • Conclave Mentor (W/G, enhances +1/+1 counters; not mono-white)
  • Valor in Akros (W, enchantment, not a creature)
  • Hada Freeblade (W, enters with +1/+1 counter on itself)

Closest direct white, on-ETB +1/+1 counter to any creature:

  • Backup Agent (original card)
  • Increasing Devotion (not a creature—making equivalents rare)

There are very few exact mono-white, Human Citizen creatures with the same ETB effect as Backup Agent. Other cards either differ by being multicolor, putting the counter only on themselves, or being different types.

  • Conclave Mentor's first ability doesn't apply to itself if it's somehow entering the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.
  • If a creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many plus one instead.
  • If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put onto a creature you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.
  • If you control two Conclave Mentors, the number of +1/+1 counters put on a creature is two plus the original number. Three Conclave Mentors add three, and so on.
  • Use Conclave Mentor's power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life you gain.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
