AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Efficient Construction

Equivalent cards to Efficient Construction (which creates 1/1 Thopters when you cast an artifact spell, in blue):

  • Sai, Master Thopterist – Makes Thopters when you cast artifacts.
  • Emry, Lurker of the Loch – Not exact, but recurs artifacts for repeated value.
  • Sharding Sphinx – Makes Thopters when your artifact creatures deal combat damage.
  • Aetherflux Reservoir – Not a token producer, but rewards casting artifacts.


Reason:
These cards are blue and create value (often tokens) from casting or using artifacts. Sai, Master Thopterist is the closest equivalent.

  • Aetherflux Reservoir's first ability doesn't trigger when you cast Aetherflux Reservoir itself.
  • The first ability counts spells you cast earlier in the turn even if you didn't control Aetherflux Reservoir as you cast them, and even if those spells were countered.
  • The first ability counts the spell that caused it to trigger plus any other spells you cast earlier in the turn.
  • The number of spells you've cast is counted only as Aetherflux Reservoir's triggered ability resolves. For example, if you cast a spell, then respond to the triggered ability with a second spell, you'll gain 4 life total.

    Affinity Mill

    Rules

  • Casting the target card causes it to leave your graveyard and become a new object. You can't cast it again if it returns to your graveyard this turn.
  • If Emry's last ability targets an artifact land card, you can't play it. Effects that allow you to "cast" a card don't allow you to play a land card.
  • Once you announce that you're casting a spell, no player may take actions until the spell has been paid for. Notably, opponents can't try to change by how much Emry's cost is reduced.
  • The cost reduction ability reduces only the generic mana in Emry's cost. The colored mana must still be paid.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Emry). The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
  • You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions for the target artifact card. Unless it has flash, you'll most likely only be able to cast it during your main phase while the stack is empty.
  • You'll still pay all costs for a spell cast this way, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs if any are available.

    Flying

    Rules

  • If combat damage is dealt to players by multiple artifact creatures you control (including, perhaps, Sharding Sphinx itself), Sharding Sphinx's ability will trigger that many times. You'll get that many Thopter tokens. You'll get just one token per creature, no matter how much combat damage that creature dealt.
  • The only difference between a colored artifact and a colorless artifact is, obviously, its color. Unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact requires colored mana to cast. Also unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact has a color in all zones. It will interact with cards that care about color. Other than that, a colored artifact behaves just like any other artifact. It will interact as normal with any card that cares about artifacts, such as Shatter or Arcbound Ravager.
