"Find me cards equivalent to: Cactus Preserve"

Cards equivalent to Cactus Preserve (green, Self-copy land):

  • Thespian's Stage – Copies any land, same card type, stays colorless.
  • Vesuva – ETB as a copy of any land, colorless.
  • Mirrorpool – Can copy creatures or instants/sorceries, but not lands.
  • Cryptic Caves does not copy, so not equivalent.

These are similar but in green, true equivalents are rare—most are colorless. Cactus Preserve is unique for being a self-copy in mono-green.

    Rules

  • Any change to a land’s type or abilities gained by a land can affect the types of mana a land can produce.
  • Cactus Preserve doesn’t care about any restrictions or riders your lands put on the mana they produce, such as that of Bucolic Ranch or the ability granted by Discreet Retreat. It just produces one mana of the appropriate type, with no restrictions or riders.
  • Cactus Preserve’s second ability checks the effects of all mana-producing abilities of lands you control, but it doesn’t check their costs or legality. For example, Spire of Industry says “{T}, Pay 1 life: Add one mana of any color. Activate only if you control an artifact.” If you control Spire of Industry and Cactus Preserve, you can tap Cactus Preserve for any color of mana. It doesn’t matter whether you control an artifact, whether you can pay 1 life, or whether Spire of Industry is untapped.
  • Desert is a land subtype with no special meaning. It doesn’t grant the land an intrinsic mana ability. Other cards may care about which lands are Deserts.
  • If Cactus Preserve becomes a creature but you haven’t controlled it continuously since your most recent turn began, you won’t be able to activate its mana ability or attack with it that turn.
  • It doesn’t matter where your commander is (or commanders are, if you have more than one because of the partner ability or similar). The value of X will be calculated using your commander’s current characteristics. (Mana value typically doesn’t change, but your commander may become a copy of something else.)
  • The types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless.

  • Cryptic Caves can be one of the five lands you control. You don't need to control five other lands. It's okay that you'll only control four lands as you finish activating Cryptic Caves's last ability.
  • If you control two Cryptic Caves and exactly three other lands, you can activate the last ability of only one of the Cryptic Caves. As soon as the cost for that ability is paid, you will no longer control enough lands to activate the ability of the second Cryptic Caves.

    Tokens:
    Copy

    Rules

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.
  • For Mirrorpool’s last ability, the token copies exactly what’s printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • For example, if a token copies a Plains that’s been affected by a spell with awaken, the token will be just a land, even though the object being copied is currently a land creature. The same is true if the land has an ability that animates it.
  • If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the copied creature is copying something else when the ability resolves, then the token enters the battlefield as a copy of whatever that creature is copying.
  • If the copied spell has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Fall of the Titans does), the copy has the same value of X.
  • If the copied spell is modal (that is, it says “Choose one —” or the like), the copy will have the same modes. You can’t choose different ones.
  • Mirrorpool’s third ability can target (and copy) any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets.
  • The copy is created on the stack, so it’s not cast. Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won’t trigger. The copy will then resolve like a normal spell, after players get a chance to cast spells and activate abilities.
  • The copy will have the same targets as the spell it’s copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can’t choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
  • You can’t choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy, too. For example, if a player sacrifices a 3/3 creature to cast Fling, and you copy it, the copy of Fling will also deal 3 damage to its target.

    Rules

  • A land's copiable values are those printed on it, as modified by other copy effects. Counters and other effects aren't copied. Notably, if you copy a land that is also a creature because of a temporary effect (such as Celestial Colonnade), Thespian's Stage will become just the "unanimated" land.
  • No enters-the-battlefield abilities of the land Thespian's Stage is copying will trigger. Thespian's Stage was already on the battlefield. Similarly, no "as this land enters the battlefield" or "this land enters the battlefield with" effects, such as that of Dark Depths, will apply.
  • The copy effect created by the last activated ability doesn't have a duration. It will last until Thespian's Stage leaves the battlefield or another copy effect overwrites it. The permanent will no longer have the first ability of Thespian's Stage.
  • Thespian's Stage doesn't become untapped when it becomes a copy, even if the target land is untapped.

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied land will trigger if Vesuva is entering the battlefield. Any "As [this land] enters the battlefield" or "[This land] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied land will also work.
  • If Vesuva somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another land, Vesuva can't become a copy of that land. You may choose only a land that's already on the battlefield.
  • If the copied land is copying something else, Vesuva uses the copiable values of that land. In most cases, Vesuva will be a copy of whatever that land is copying.
  • If you don't choose a land on the battlefield, Vesuva enters the battlefield untapped as itself, and will not be able to tap for mana.
  • Vesuva copies exactly what is printed on the land it's copying and nothing else (unless it's copying a land that's copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether a land is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its types, and so on.
