"Find me cards equivalent to: Iron Apprentice"

Equivalents to Iron Apprentice (colorless, artifact creature, enters with a +1/+1 counter, moves counters when it dies):

  • Arcbound Worker — Artifact Creature — Construct, enters as 1/1, Modular 1 (When it dies, put its +1/+1 counters on another artifact creature you control).
  • Arcbound Ravager — Artifact Creature — Beast, Modular 1, but with a different way to move counters.
  • Hangarback Walker — Colorless Artifact Creature — Construct, enters with X +1/+1 counters and leaves behind Thopter tokens.

Iron Apprentice is the most direct modern equivalent, but Arcbound Worker is the closest functional match with the modular mechanic. All are colorless and move counters on death.

    Rules

  • If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Hangarback Walker at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many Thopter tokens you get. For example, if there are three +1/+1 counters on Hangarback Walker and it gets four -1/-1 counters, you'll get three Thopter tokens. That's because Hangarback Walker's triggered ability checks the creature's existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • The value of each X in Hangarback Walker's mana cost must be equal. For example, if X is 2, you'll pay {4} to cast Hangarback Walker and it will enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.

    Rules

  • If Iron Apprentice has -1/-1 counters on it when it dies, the last ability will include those as well. This may result in the recipient also dying.
  • In some unusual cases, you may end up putting the counters on more than one permanent. For example, if you control The Ozolith when Iron Apprentice dies, you will put the appropriate number of each kind of counter onto both The Ozolith and the target creature.
  • Iron Apprentice puts all of its counters onto the target creature, not just its +1/+1 counters.
  • Iron Apprentice's ability doesn't cause you to move counters from itself to the target creature. Rather, you put the same number of each kind of counter Iron Apprentice had when it died onto that creature.
