5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Mindless Automaton

Equivalent cards to Mindless Automaton (colorless, +1/+1 counters, card draw):
1. Walking Ballista – Enters with counters, remove to deal damage, but doesn't draw cards.
2. Steel Overseer – Adds counters, but doesn't draw.
3. Arcbound Worker – Moves counters, no draw.
4. Hangarback Walker – Modular, can sacrifice for value, but for tokens not cards.


Reason: These are all colorless artifact creatures that use +1/+1 counters similarly; none directly replicate the draw ability, but interact closely with counters and effects.

    Rules

  • If this creature gets enough -1/-1 counters put on it to cause its toughness to be 0 or less (or the damage marked on it to be lethal), modular will put a number of +1/+1 counters on the target artifact creature equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on this creature before it left the battlefield.

    Thopter

    Rules

  • If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Hangarback Walker at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many Thopter tokens you get. For example, if there are three +1/+1 counters on Hangarback Walker and it gets four -1/-1 counters, you’ll get three Thopter tokens. That’s because Hangarback Walker’s triggered ability checks the creature’s existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • The value of each X in Hangarback Walker’s mana cost must be equal. For example, if X is 2, you’ll pay {4} to cast Hangarback Walker and it will enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.

    Rules

  • A casting cost of {X}{X} means that you pay twice X. If you want X to be 3, you pay {6} to cast Walking Ballista.
  • If Walking Ballista has been dealt damage or had its toughness reduced by an effect, this limits how many times you'll be able to remove +1/+1 counters from it in a single turn. For example, if it has three +1/+1 counters on it and has been dealt 1 damage this turn, it will be destroyed immediately after you activate the ability a second time and you won't be able to activate it a third time.
