"Find me cards equivalent to: Geometer's Arthropod"

Equivalent cards to Geometer's Arthropod in green and blue that reward you for casting X spells or interact with X spells are:
1. Prime Speaker Zegana (GU) — Draws cards when it enters based on its power, supporting big creatures or X spells.
2. Brainstorm (U) — Lets you look at and draw cards, though not tied to X spells, shares library manipulation.
3. Rishkar’s Expertise (G) — Draws cards equal to your greatest creature’s power, then lets you cast a spell for free.

Closest similar cards with X-spell synergy in GU:

  • Zaxara, the Exemplary (GU) — Whenever you cast an X spell, you create a Hydroid with X counters.
  • Kalamax, the Stormsire (GU) — Rewards you for casting instant spells, but not specifically X spells.


Reason: There are no exact same look at top X and pick effects for X spells in green/blue, but Zaxara, the Exemplary is the closest in color and X-spell synergy, and the others manipulate draw/library.

  • Geometer's Arthropod's ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving. In that case, use the value of X as that spell last existed on the stack to determine the value of X for Geometer's Arthropod's ability.
  • In some rare cases, the value of X for the spell on the stack may be different than the value that was chosen when you cast it. For example, if you control Unbound Flourishing (an enchantment with "Whenever you cast a permanent spell with a mana cost that contains {X}, double the value of X.") the value of X may have been doubled. In those cases, use the value of X as the spell exists on the stack at the time Geometer's Arthropod's ability resolves to determine the value of X for Geometer's Arthropod's ability.

    Rules

  • A copy is created even if the spell that caused Kalamax's ability to trigger has been countered by the time that ability resolves. The copy resolves before the original spell.
  • An ability that triggers when a player copies a spell resolves before the copy. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • If Kalamax becomes tapped as a cost to cast your first instant spell in a turn, its first ability triggers.
  • If an effect copies a card rather than a spell (such as that of God-Eternal Kefnet), this doesn't cause Kalamax's last ability to trigger.
  • If an effect copies an instant spell multiple times, Kalamax's last ability triggers that many times.
  • If the spell that's copied has damage divided as it was cast, the division can't be changed, although the targets receiving that damage still can. The same is true of spells that distribute counters.
  • If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy created by Kalamax's first ability will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.
  • Kalamax's first ability considers the entire turn. If you cast an instant spell before Kalamax becomes tapped, its first ability won't trigger when you cast your second.
  • The copies that Kalamax's first ability creates are created on the stack, so they're not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
  • You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copy created by Kalamax's first ability. 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.

  • If X is 0, the 0/0 Hydra token will die immediately after the ability's done resolving unless something else is raising its toughness.
  • If an effect, such as that of Parallel Lives, causes Zaxara's ability to create multiple Hydra tokens, they each receive X +1/+1 counters.
  • If the spell you cast has {X}{X} in its mana cost, the token gets only X counters, not twice X.
  • The Hydra token enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature. Any abilities that modify or trigger on this event apply. After the token is on the battlefield but before any player can take actions, +1/+1 counters are put onto the token.
  • The value of X in Zaxara's last ability is the value of X of the spell you cast.
