"Find me cards equivalent to: Phyrexian Splicer"

Equivalent cards to Phyrexian Splicer (colorless artifact, ability-swapping mechanics):
1. Artificial Evolution (blue; changes creature text but not ability swapping, less direct)
2. Willbreaker (blue; gains control of creatures when they are targeted, more powerful, not colorless)
3. Synod Sanctum (artifact; can reset board, not ability-swapping)
4. Volrath's Shapeshifter (blue; changes abilities, not artifact or strictly equivalent)


Reason: Direct ability-stealing or swapping on a colorless artifact is very rare. Phyrexian Splicer is nearly unique. Closest artifacts might be cards like Mirrorworks or Grafted Wargear, but they don't swap abilities, just mimic or grant things.

Closest alternatives: None are true equivalents in artifacts. Only Phyrexian Splicer does this as a colorless artifact.

  • Alters all occurrences of the chosen word in the text box and the type line of the given card.
  • Can target a card with no appropriate words on it, or even one with no words at all.
  • Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.
  • If a creature's creature type has been changed by a spell or ability, changing the card's text won't affect or alter the new creature type.
  • If you change the text of a spell which is to become a permanent, the permanent will retain the text change until the effect wears off.
  • It can't change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
  • It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.
  • You can't change proper nouns (i.e. card names) such as “Island Fish Jasconius”.
  • You choose the words to change on resolution.

    Equip

    Rules

  • If your Grafted Wargear somehow ends up on an opponent's creature and it then becomes unattached from that creature, you won't be able to sacrifice that creature because you don't control it.
  • You may activate this card's equip ability targeting the creature that it is currently attached to, even if it's the only creature you control. Since the equip ability costs zero, you can do this as many times as you like during your main phases, though it generally won't do anything.
  • Grafted Wargear becomes unattached from the creature it's equipping if you equip it to a new creature, if Grafted Wargear leaves the battlefield, if the equipped creature ceases to be a creature, or if Grafted Wargear ceases to be an Equipment. (It also becomes unattached if the equipped creature leaves the battlefield, but the triggered ability won't do anything in that case.)

    Rules

  • As the token is created, it checks the printed values of the artifact it's copying, as well as any copy effects that have been applied to it.
  • Each time the ability triggers, you can pay {2} only one time to get one token.
  • If the artifact that caused Mirrorworks's ability to trigger has already left the battlefield by the time the ability resolves, you can still pay {2}. If you do, you'll still put a token onto the battlefield. That token has the copiable values of the characteristics of that nontoken artifact as it last existed on the battlefield.
  • The copiable values of the token's characteristics are the same as the copiable values of the characteristics of the artifact it's copying.

  • If the top card in your graveyard is a creature card, this card uses the listed characteristics, including color and any other types. But, this card keeps the granted ability in addition to those from the card being copied.
  • If the top card in your graveyard isn't a creature card (meaning a card with the type Creature, which may or may not have other types such as Artifact or Enchantment), then it's just a 0/1 blue creature. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.
  • When it changes forms, any "enters" abilities of the card it "copies" do not trigger.
  • The ability that sets its characteristics is a text-changing effect.
