"Find me cards equivalent to: Cryptic Serpent"

Cards similar to Cryptic Serpent (Creature — Serpent, color 'U', and cost reduction based on instants/sorceries in graveyard):
1. Tombstalker (not blue, but similar cost reduction mechanic for creature, uses cards in graveyard).
2. Gurmag Angler (not blue, similar mechanic with delve).
3. Zaxara's Willbreaker (not a serpent, but blue and cares about instants/sorceries).
4. Enigma Drake (blue, power scales with instants/sorceries, not cost reduction).

Closest pure blue equivalents:

  • Cryptic Serpent itself is the best fit for this combination.
  • No other monoblue creature exactly matches the type, color, and cost-reduction mechanic for spells in graveyard. Only variations in other colors or with power/toughness scaling exist.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.
