"Find me cards equivalent to: Rootwater Matriarch"

Cards equivalent to Rootwater Matriarch (blue, creature-based stealing with enchantment focus) are rare, but here are some:

  • Vedalken Shackles — blue artifact, gains control of creatures, not exactly the same but similar.
  • Willbreaker — blue creature, takes creatures when they become targets of abilities.
  • Sphinx Ambassador — blue creature, steals creatures with attack trigger (different mechanic).
  • Rubinia Soulsinger — simic legendary, taps to steal. Multi-color.
  • Rootwater Matriarch — original.

There are no other mono-blue merfolk that do exactly the same. Blue theft is usually via sorcery, enchantment, or artifact, not a tap-ability like Rootwater Matriarch.

  • Can target an unenchanted creature but has no effect on that creature.
  • A creature is “enchanted” if it has any Auras attached to it.
  • Unlike many similar creatures, Rootwater Matriarch untaps as normal during your untap step. Whether it’s tapped or untapped has no bearing on the control-change effect.
  • The control effect applies so long as at least one Aura is attached to the creature, and will continue to apply even if Rootwater Matriarch has left the battlefield. The effect ends if at any time the creature has no Auras on it.

    Rules

  • If Rubinia Soulsinger leaves the battlefield, you no longer control it, so the duration of its control-change effect ends.
  • If Rubinia Soulsinger stops being tapped before its ability resolves — even if it becomes tapped again right away — you won't gain control of the targeted creature at all. The same is true if you lose control of Rubinia Soulsinger before the ability resolves.
  • Once the ability resolves, it doesn't care whether the targeted permanent remains a legal target for the ability, only that it's on the battlefield. The effect will continue to apply to it even if it gains shroud, stops being a creature, or would no longer be a legal target for any other reason.

    Rules

  • A “creature card” is any card with the type creature, even if it has other types such as artifact, enchantment, or land. Older cards of type summon are also creature cards.
  • After the player names a card, check if the card you chose has that name. If it doesn’t, but it’s a creature card, you may put it onto the battlefield. If you don’t want to put that card onto the battlefield, it’s not a creature card, or it does have the name the player said, it simply stays in that player’s library without ever being revealed. The player then shuffles their library, including that card.
  • Once you’ve chosen a card during your search, you must clearly indicate which card you’ve chosen (preferably without showing the front of that card to the player!). Then the player names a card.
  • You may search for any card, not just a creature card. Of course, if you choose a noncreature card, you won’t be able to put it onto the battlefield no matter what card the player names.

    Flying Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for a card, then that player chooses a card name. If you searched for a creature card that doesn't have that name, you may put it onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.

  • If Vedalken Shackles leaves the battlefield, it’s no longer tapped, so the control-changing effect ends.
  • The creature’s power and the number of Islands you control matter only when the ability is activated and when it resolves. After that, only the fact that Vedalken Shackles remains tapped matters. If the creature stops being a creature, you’ll keep control of it.
