"Find me cards equivalent to: Proteus Staff"

Proteus Staff equivalents (colorless artifacts manipulating library order or swapping creatures from library):
1. Polymorph's Jest (not an artifact, but does a similar swap, blue card)
2. Lukas, the Trickster (not colorless/artifact, but effects creature swapping, blue legendary)
3. Chaos Wand (artifact, lets you exile cards from opponent's library, but not creature related)
4. Planar Bridge (artifact, searches for a card and puts it on battlefield)
5. Mishra's Bauble (manipulates library order, but doesn't directly swap creatures)

Closest artifacts with creature-library interaction:

  • Proteus Staff (your card)
  • Panoptic Mirror (copies spells, not creatures)
  • Planar Bridge (fetches any permanent from library to battlefield)


Reason: Very few (if any) colorless artifacts mimic Proteus Staff's specific effect. Planar Bridge is closest in fetching creatures from library.

    Rules

  • If the exiled card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If the opponent exiles their entire library without exiling an instant or sorcery card, that player stops exiling cards, and the exiled cards are put into their library in a random order.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Tormenting Voice, those must be paid to cast the card.
  • If you don't cast the exiled instant or sorcery card, it's put on the bottom of that library with the other cards.
  • If you wish to cast the exiled card, you must cast it while Chaos Wand's ability is resolving. You can't cast it later in the turn. A spell cast this way may be cast at a time you normally wouldn't be able to cast a spell of that type, but other restrictions (such as "Cast this spell only during combat") are enforced.
  • The opponent stops exiling cards as soon as they exile any instant or sorcery card. You don't choose which card type to look for.

    Rules

  • As Panoptic Mirror's triggered ability resolves, it allows you to create a copy of one of the instant or sorcery cards imprinted on Panoptic Mirror in the Exile zone (that's where the imprinted card is) and then cast it without paying its mana cost.
  • Exiling a card when the activated ability resolves is optional. If you choose to exile a card, you can exile only a card with mana value equal to X.
  • The triggered ability triggers only once each upkeep, not once per imprinted card. If no cards are imprinted on Panoptic Mirror when the triggered ability resolves, it does nothing.
  • You don't pay the spell's mana cost. If the spell has X in its mana cost, X is 0. You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can't use any alternative costs.
  • You may imprint a card on Panoptic Mirror in response to the upkeep-triggered ability. If you do, that card is available to copy when the triggered ability resolves.
  • The creation of the copy and then the casting of the copy are both optional.
  • To imprint a split card, you pay X equal to card's mana value, determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If the copied card is a split card, you choose which one side of it to cast, but you can't cast both sides.
