"Find me cards equivalent to: Sage of Fables"

Equivalent cards to Sage of Fables (type: Creature — Merfolk Wizard, color: U, with a counter/draw effect) are:
1. Chasm Skulker — Gets +1/+1 counters for drawing, and creates tokens when it dies. Also blue.
2. Fathom Mage — Blue (Simic), draws a card when a +1/+1 counter is placed on it.
3. Kira, Great Glass-Spinner — Blue Wizard, but focuses on protection, not counters or draw.
4. Azami, Lady of Scrolls — Blue Wizard, tap to draw for Wizards.

Closest for the +1/+1 counter/draw effect in mono-blue Wizards is Sage of Fables itself—other cards may do one or the other, but not both in exactly the same way. Most other related cards are multicolor or broader creatures.


Reason: Sage of Fables is unique in mono-blue for the specific combination of Wizard synergy and counter-based card draw.

    Rules

  • If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Chasm Skulker 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 Squid tokens you get. For example, if there are two +1/+1 counters on Chasm Skulker and it gets three -1/-1 counters, you'll get two Squid tokens.
  • If you draw multiple cards, the first ability will trigger that many times. Each of these abilities will cause a +1/+1 counter to be put on Chasm Skulker.

    Rules

  • If Sage of Fables enters at the same time as another Wizard (due to Living End, for example), that creature doesn't get a +1/+1 counter.
  • If a Wizard would normally enter with a certain number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many +1/+1 counters plus one on it instead. If a Wizard would normally enter with no +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with one +1/+1 counter on it instead.
  • The creature gets the counter if it would enter under your control. It doesn't matter who owns the creature or what zone it enters from (such as your opponent's graveyard, for example).
  • The effects from more than one Sage of Fables are cumulative. That is, if you have two Sage of Fables on the battlefield, Wizard creatures you control enter with two additional +1/+1 counters on them.
