"Find me cards equivalent to: Pondering Mage"

Equivalent cards include:

  • Pondering Mage (the original)
  • Sea Gate Oracle — Enters play, look at top two, put one in hand, one on bottom (close effect, same color/type).
  • Merfolk Looter — Not ETB, but blue wizard that helps draw/filter cards.
  • Watcher for Tomorrow — ETB, hideaway top card, adds to hand later (close blue ETB effect).

Short reason: True equivalents are rare, but these blue creatures give similar card selection/draw abilities on ETB. Pondering Mage is unique for ETB Ponder+draw in blue wizards.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Hideaway

    Rules

  • If Watcher for Tomorrow leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability from hideaway resolves, its leaves-the-battlefield ability resolves and does nothing. Then its enters-the-battlefield ability resolves and you exile a card with no way to return it to your hand.
  • You don't reveal the exiled card when you put it into its owner's hand.
  • "Hideaway N" means "When this permanent enters the battlefield, look at the top N cards of your library. Exile one of them face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. The exiled card gains 'The player who controls the permanent that exiled this card may look at this card in the exile zone.'"
  • Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card.
  • Hideaway now causes you to put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order instead of any order.
  • Previously, permanents with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped. This ability has been removed from the definition of hideaway. Older cards have received errata to have an additional paragraph that reads "[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped," and they now have hideaway 4.
