"Find me cards equivalent to: Skilled Animator"

Equivalent cards to Skilled Animator (color: Blue, Human Artificer, animates artifacts):
1. Masterful Replication (not a creature, but similar effect—turns artifacts into creatures)
2. Tezzeret the Seeker (can animate artifacts, but is a planeswalker)
3. Warrior's Honor (not blue, doesn't fit requirement)
4. Rise and Shine (blue, animates artifacts into 4/4, but not a creature card)

Closest blue creature with a similar effect:

  • Master Transmuter (blue, artifact synergies, but bounces artifacts instead of animating)
  • Grand Architect (blue, allows creatures to become artifacts, not exactly the same)

Skilled Animator is unique as a mono-blue Human Artificer that animates artifacts with a specific stat change on entry; there are few creatures, especially Human Artificers, with this exact function. Closest equivalents are Rise and Shine and planeswalker/instants in blue.

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a blue creature you control may become lethal if Grand Architect leaves the battlefield during that turn.
  • Grand Architect's second ability causes the affected artifact creature to lose any other colors it has, but it doesn't cause it to stop being an artifact.
  • You can tap any untapped blue creature you control, including one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn, to pay the cost of Grand Architect's mana ability. This includes Grand Architect itself.

  • An Equipment that becomes a copy of a creature becomes unattached if it was attached to a creature. An Equipment that becomes a copy of another Equipment remains attached if it was attached to a creature.
  • Becoming a copy won't change whether an artifact is a token.
  • If the target artifact is copying something else, then your artifacts become copies of whatever the target artifact copied.
  • Masterful Replication copies the printed values of the target artifact. It won't copy counters on that artifact or effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on. Notably, it won't copy effects that made the target artifact become an artifact creature if it isn't normally an artifact creature.

    Overload

    Rules

  • Because a spell with overload doesn't target when its overload cost is paid, it may affect permanents with hexproof or with protection from the appropriate color.
  • If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.
  • If you don't pay the overload cost of a spell with overload, that spell will have a single target. If you pay the overload cost, the spell won't have any targets.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an overload cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Rules

  • Effects that modify a creature's power and/or toughness, such as the ones created by Titanic Growth or a +/1+1 counter, will apply to the creature no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for any counters that change its power and/or toughness and effects that switch power and toughness.
  • If an Equipment becomes an artifact creature, it usually can't be attached to another creature. If it was attached to a creature, it becomes unattached.
  • If the artifact was already a creature, its base power and toughness will each become 5. This overwrites any previous effects that set the creature's base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after Skilled Animator's ability resolves will overwrite this effect.
  • Skilled Animator doesn't remove any abilities the target artifact has.
  • The artifact retains any types, subtypes, or supertypes it has.
  • The resulting artifact creature will be able to attack on your turn if it's been under your control continuously since the turn began. That is, it doesn't matter how long it's been a creature, just how long it's been on the battlefield.

  • For the second ability, you choose the value of X when you activate it. You don’t look through your library until the ability resolves. (In other words, you can’t look through your library, decide what artifact card you want, and then determine what X is.) You can’t choose an X that’s greater than the number of loyalty counters on Tezzeret.
  • The first ability can target zero, one, or two artifacts. You may activate it with no targets just to put a loyalty counter on Tezzeret.
  • The third ability affects all artifacts you control, including artifacts that are already creatures.
  • The third ability causes artifacts you control to become creatures in addition to their other card types.
  • A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the “summoning sickness” rule: It can only attack, and its {T} abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn.
  • The effect from the ability overwrites other effects that set power and/or toughness if and only if those effects existed before the ability resolved. It will not overwrite effects that modify power or toughness (whether from a static ability, counters, or a resolved spell or ability), nor will it overwrite effects that set power and toughness which come into existence after the ability resolves. Effects that switch the creature’s power and toughness are always applied after any other power or toughness changing effects, including this one, regardless of the order in which they are created.
