"Find me cards equivalent to: Hapless Researcher"

Similar cards in blue to Hapless Researcher:
1. Jace's Scrutiny (Not a creature, but similar effect.)
2. Merfolk Looter (Not instant speed or sacrifice, but lets you loot: Draw, then discard.)
3. Fblthp, the Lost (ETB draw, not loot, but similar body and color.)

No other blue creatures with exactly the same ability as Hapless Researcher. Closest is Merfolk Looter (repeatable loot with tap).


Reason: Blue doesn’t often have sacrifice-as-cost looters; looting is more often on tap abilities.

    Rules

  • Fblthp's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • Fblthp's last ability triggers only if it's on the battlefield when it becomes the target of a spell.
  • If an effect exiles Fblthp from your library and then lets you cast that card, it's cast from exile, not from your library.
  • If the spell that targets Fblthp has no other targets, it won't resolve (because it no longer has a legal target after Fblthp has gotten totally lost in your library).
  • There's normally no way to cast Fblthp from your library or to have it enter the battlefield from your library. You'll have to use other effects to find Fblthp for the bonus card draw.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Investigate

    Rules

  • Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.
  • If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.
  • You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't investigate.
  • You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.
