"Find me cards equivalent to: Body of Research"

Equivalent cards to Body of Research (Sorcery, Green/Blue, makes large-sized token):
1. Biogenic Upgrade (G, U)—Can put +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not a token, and is not based on library size.
2. Puppeteer Clique (U)—Creates a large Fractal token, but only in the Strixhaven Mystical Archive as Manifestation Sage (not exactly the same, also not a sorcery).
3. No direct equivalents exist, but Gelatinous Genesis (G)—Gives X X/X Green Ooze tokens for X mana.
4. Tromp the Domains and Genesis Wave (G, U)—Not exactly the same, but related to scaling effects.

Closest:

  • Gelatinous Genesis (green, sorcery): Also creates a potentially huge creature token depending on mana spent.


Reason: No other sorcery creates a token with power/toughness based on library size, but Gelatinous Genesis is a close green sorcery for making a single big creature. No strict equivalents in GU.

  • If some of the creatures are illegal targets as Biogenic Upgrade tries to resolve, the original distribution of counters still applies and the counters that would have been put on the illegal targets are lost. They won't be put instead on a legal target.
  • To double the number of +1/+1 counters on a permanent, put a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the number it already has. Other cards that interact with putting counters on it will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • You choose how many targets Biogenic Upgrade has and how the counters are distributed as you cast it. Each target must receive at least one counter. This means, for example, that you can't target three creatures and assign them two, one, and zero counters.

  • A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
  • All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flying Persist

    Rules

  • If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.
  • If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won't trigger and the card won't return to the battlefield. That's because persist checks the creature's existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they'll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.
  • If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can't return to the battlefield.
  • If multiple creatures with persist are put into the graveyard at the same time (due to combat damage or a spell that destroys all creatures, for example), the active player (the player whose turn it is) puts all of their persist triggers on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order does the same. The last trigger put on the stack is the first one that resolves. That means that in a two-player game, the nonactive player's persist creatures will return to the battlefield first, then the active player's persist creatures do the same. The creatures return to the battlefield one at a time.
  • The persist ability triggers when the permanent is put into a graveyard. Its last known information (that is, how the creature last existed on the battlefield) is used to determine whether it had a -1/-1 counter on it.
  • When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it's a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.

    Flying When this creature enters, put target creature card from an opponent's graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. It gains haste. At the beginning of your next end step, exile it. Persist (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1counteron it.)

  • The size of the bonus is determined only as Tromp the Domains resolves. Once that happens, the bonus won't change later in the turn even if the number of basic land types among lands you control changes.
  • Tromp the Domains affects only creatures you control at the time it resolves. Creatures you begin to control later in the turn won't gain trample or get a power and toughness boost.
  • Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.
  • The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. Land types other than basic land types (such as Desert) don't contribute to domain abilities.
