"Find me cards equivalent to: Backup Agent"

Equivalent cards to Backup Agent (White, enters the battlefield, puts +1/+1 counter):
1. Abzan Falconer (White, gives out counters with Outlast, but not on ETB; close in spirit)
2. Ainok Bond-Kin (ETB not on a +1/+1 counter but interacts with counters; also close in function)
3. Sage's Row Sentry (Not as close—mainly referencing +1/+1 counter with ETB)
4. Luminarch Aspirant (White, but puts counters at the beginning of combat, not ETB—close in effect)
5. Basri's Acolyte (White, ETB, but puts +1/+1 counters on up to two other target creatures)

Closest direct equivalents:

  • Basri's Acolyte (the most similar, but higher cost and affects two creatures)
  • Dawnblade Agent (different effect but same type and color)

There are few direct ETB, White, +1/+1 counter givers, but Backup Agent is among the best examples.

    Outlast

    Rules

  • Several creatures with outlast also grant an ability to creatures you control with +1/+1 counters on them, including themselves. These counters could come from an outlast ability, but any +1/+1 counter on the creature will count.
  • The cost to activate a creature's outlast ability includes the tap symbol ({T}). A creature's outlast ability can't be activated unless that creature has been under your control continuously since the beginning of your turn.
