"Find me cards equivalent to: Cryptek"

Equivalent cards to Cryptek (Artifact Creature; Black; Recursion effect: returns artifact creatures when they die) include:

  • Myr Retriever (artifact, returns artifact card from graveyard to hand when it dies—less direct, but similar)
  • Scarecrone (artifact, {3}, {T}, Sacrifice a Scarecrow: Return target artifact creature from your graveyard to play.)
  • Refurbish (not a creature, but returns artifact cards to the battlefield, so color doesn't match)
  • Junktroller (artifact, can put a card from graveyard on bottom of library)
  • Disciple of Bolas (black, when you sacrifice a creature, you draw and gain life—not direct recursion, but related)
  • Whisper, Blood Liturgist (black, tap and sac two creatures: return a creature from graveyard to battlefield; not artifact-only)

None are a perfect match, but Scarecrone is most similar in color and effect (though not exclusively black, it can be played in black decks).


Reason: Very few cards directly repeat Cryptek's effect, but these offer related artifact-creature recursion/return effects.

  • All Cryptek's activated ability does when it resolves is set up a delayed triggered ability. If the target artifact creature isn't put into a graveyard this turn, that ability never triggers. If the targeted artifact creature is put into a graveyard this turn, that ability triggers and resolves like any other triggered ability.
