  • Aether Tradewinds (blue, swaps creatures, instant)
  • Shapesharer (blue, changes form, interacts with other creatures)

None are direct replacements, but these share blue’s trickster/interaction theme.

    Rules

  • Each of those creatures blocks only if it's able to do so as the declare blockers step begins. If, at that time, one of the creatures is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't block, or no creatures are attacking that creature's controller or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn't block. If there's a cost associated with having the creature block, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't block in that case either.
  • Notably, Domineering Will doesn't give any of the target creatures haste. Unless they have haste due to some other means, they won't be able to attack that turn.
  • The controller of the creatures still chooses which attacking creature each of the three target creatures blocks.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Changeling

    Rules

  • Effects that have already applied to the targeted Shapeshifter will continue to apply to it. For example, if Giant Growth had given it +3/+3 earlier in the turn, then this ability makes it a copy of Grizzly Bears, it will be a 5/5 Grizzly Bears.
  • If Shapesharer itself becomes a copy of another creature, it loses both changeling and its activated ability (unless it’s copying another creature with changeling and/or another Shapesharer, of course).
  • If the targeted Shapeshifter becomes a copy of a face-down creature, it will become a 2/2 creature with no name, creature type, abilities, mana cost, or color. It will not become face down and thus can’t be turned face up.
  • If the targeted Shapeshifter copies a creature that’s copying a creature, it will become whatever the chosen creature is copying.
  • The copy effect doesn’t wear off until just before your next untap step (even if an effect will cause that untap step to be skipped).
  • The targeted Shapeshifter copies the printed values of the targeted creature, plus any copy effects that have been applied to it. It won’t copy counters on that creature. It won’t copy effects that have changed the creature’s power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • This ability can cause a creature to become a copy of itself. This will usually have no visible effect.
  • If either target becomes an illegal target, the ability will resolve but have no effect.
