"Find me cards equivalent to: Armory Automaton"

Equivalent cards to Armory Automaton with similar attributes (artifact creature, colorless, Equipment interaction):
1. Brass Squire — Artifact Creature — Myr, tap: Attach target Equipment to target creature you control.
2. Puresteel Paladin (not colorless, but strong Equipment support).
3. Kollossus Hammer synergies, but not equivalent.
4. Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist (not colorless, but similar effect).

Closest true equivalents are Brass Squire and Armory Automaton. There are few colorless creatures with attach-on-enter/attack effects.


Reason: Attaching multiple Equipment automatically on enter/attack is rare for colorless artifact creatures. Brass Squire is the nearest functional equivalent.

    Rules

  • An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.
  • Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library.
  • If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.
  • If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Falthis and Kediss are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with black and/or red in their color identity, but not cards with green, white, or blue.
  • Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.
  • Other players and permanents controlled by other players can be targeted by Ardenn's ability. This can cause Equipment under your control to be attached to a creature an opponent controls. Auras and Equipment that say "you" still refer to you, as you still control them. Ardenn's ability can't cause an Aura or Equipment to be attached to something it couldn't be attached to.
  • To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.
  • You can choose two commanders with partner that are the same color or colors. In Commander Draft, you can even choose two of the same commander with partner if you drafted them. If you do this, make sure you keep the number of times you've cast each from the command zone clear for "commander tax" purposes.
  • You choose which Auras and Equipment to move as Ardenn's ability resolves. Players can't take actions between the time you choose what to move and the time they're attached to the target permanent or player.

    Rules

  • An ability of an Equipment that triggers "whenever equipped creature attacks" triggers only if the Equipment was attached to a creature at the moment that creature was declared as an attacker, and any references to "that creature" in the effect refer to the creature the Equipment was attached to when the ability triggered.
  • Armory Automaton's ability can cause an Equipment one player controls to become attached to a creature another player controls. The controller of the Equipment can pay the equip cost to attach that Equipment to a creature they control, but only any time that player could cast a sorcery. The controller of Armory Automaton can't activate equip abilities of Equipment they don't control.
  • If Armory Automaton leaves the battlefield before its ability resolves, nothing happens to any of the Equipment it targeted. If they were already attached to other creatures, they remain attached to those creatures.
  • If an Equipment an opponent controls is attached to a creature you control, any ability of that Equipment that says "you" refers to that opponent. However, if the Equipment says that the equipped creature has an ability, the word "you" in that ability refers to you, the controller of the creature.
  • The triggered ability triggers both when Armory Automaton enters the battlefield and whenever it attacks. You don't have to choose only one.
  • You can choose to target no Equipment if you don't want to attach any to Armory Automaton. Because the ability is optional, you also don't have to attach the Equipment it targets as you resolve the ability. However, you must either attach all of the target Equipment or attach none of them.
