"Find me cards equivalent to: Improvised Arsenal"

Equivalent cards to Improvised Arsenal:
1. Cranial Plating – Gives equipped creature +1/+0 for each artifact you control. (type: Artifact — Equipment, color: R/B, very similar effect)
2. Gleaming Barrier is not Equipment, so not equivalent.
3. Hammer of Nazahn – Grants bonus stats and equips automatically, but not scaling with artifacts.
4. Goblin Morningstar – Red Equipment, but no scaling effect.

Closest true equivalent: Cranial Plating is the closest in function, though it is black-aligned. For specifically mono-red, no card matches all effects of Improvised Arsenal exactly, but cards like Bloodforged Battle-Axe allow copying themselves similarly to the Equipment replication effect.

Summary:

  • Improvised Arsenal
  • Cranial Plating (scaling power with artifacts)
  • Bloodforged Battle-Axe (copies itself, mono-red)

    Rules

  • Cranial Plating is counted by its own ability, so it gives at least +1/+0.
  • Cranial Plating's first activated ability is similar to an equip ability, but it's not an equip ability. Most importantly, it can be activated any time you could cast an instant, even during another player's turn.

    Rules

  • An ability that tells you to roll a die will also specify what to do with the result of that roll. Most often, this is in the form of a "results table" in the card text.
  • An effect that says "choose a target, then roll a d20" or similar still uses the normal process of putting an ability on the stack and resolving it. Choosing targets is part of putting the ability on the stack and rolling the d20 happens later, as the ability resolves.
  • Dice are identified by the number of faces each one has. For example, a d20 is a twenty-sided die.
  • Dice used must have equally likely outcomes and the roll must be fair. Although physical dice are recommended, digital substitutes are allowed, provided they have the same number of equally likely outcomes as specified in the original roll instruction.
  • Some abilities, like that of Pixie Guide and Barbarian Class, replace rolling a die with rolling extra dice and ignoring the lowest roll. The ignored rolls are not considered for the effect that instructed you to roll a die, and do not cause abilities to trigger. For all intents and purposes, once you determine which dice count, any extra dice were never rolled.
  • Some effects instruct you to roll again. This uses the same number and type of dice as the original roll, and that roll will use the same set of possible outcomes.
  • Some effects may modify the result of a die roll. This may be part of the instruction to roll a die or it may come from other cards. Anything that references the "result" of a die roll is looking for the result after these modifications. Anything that is looking for the "natural result" is looking for the number shown on the face of the die before these modifications.
  • The instruction to roll a die and the effect that occurs because of the result are all part of the same ability. Players do not get the chance to respond to the ability after knowing the result of the roll.
  • Tournament events have more specific rules regarding dice and die-rolling. For more information, please see the most recent version of the Magic Tournament Rules at https://wpn.wizards.com/en/document/magic-gathering-tournament-rules.
  • While playing Planechase, rolling the planar die will cause any ability that triggers whenever a player rolls one or more dice to trigger. However, any effect that refers to a numerical result will ignore the rolling of the planar die.

    Rules

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to the equipped creature may become lethal if you attach Hammer of Nazahn to a different creature during that turn.
  • If Hammer of Nazahn enters the battlefield at the same time as other Equipment you control, its ability will trigger for each of those Equipment.

    Rules

  • If Improvised Arsenal leaves the battlefield before its second ability resolves, the token will still enter as a copy of Improvised Arsenal, using Improvised Arsenal's copiable values from when it was last on the battlefield.
  • In the unusual case where Improvised Arsenal becomes a copy of something else while its second ability is on the stack but before it resolves, the token will enter as a copy of whatever Improvised Arsenal is copying. (This is the rules equivalent of "yes, and.")
  • The token copy will have Improvised Arsenal's abilities and will be able to create copies of itself.
  • The token doesn't copy whether Improvised Arsenal is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its types, color, and so on.
