"Find me cards equivalent to: Xenic Poltergeist"

Equivalent cards to Xenic Poltergeist (type: Creature — Spirit, color: Black, animates artifacts) are rare. The most similar black cards are:
1. Xenic Poltergeist
2. Master Transmuter (Blue, not black, but has artifact-manipulation.)
3. Shambling Ghast (Black, but does not animate artifacts—only sets up treasure or -1/-1.)


Reason: Only Xenic Poltergeist in black directly animates artifacts as described. Other animate artifact effects like March of the Machines or Karn, Silver Golem are colorless or blue. No strict black equivalents exist.

    Rules

  • Each artifact land has a mana value of 0. March of the Machines makes them 0/0 creatures, which are put into the graveyard as a state-based action.
  • If a noncreature artifact is also another card type, such as enchantment or land, it will retain those types in addition to being an artifact creature.
  • If an Equipment becomes a creature, it can no longer equip a creature. If it's currently attached to a creature, it becomes unattached (but remains on the battlefield). You can activate the Equipment's equip ability, but it won't do anything.
  • If a noncreature artifact becomes an artifact creature this way and then another effect animates it, the new effect overrides March of the Machines's effect. For example, Chimeric Staff is a 4/4 creature while March of the Machines is on the battlefield. If you activate Chimeric Staff's ability and choose X = 5, Chimeric Staff will be a 5/5 artifact creature for the rest of the turn.
  • 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.
