"Find me cards equivalent to: Contractual Safeguard"

Equivalent cards to Contractual Safeguard (Instant, White, counter distribution) are limited. Closest include:
1. Together Forever — lets you put a +1/+1 counter on two creatures and can return creatures with counters from the graveyard.
2. Unbreakable Formation — instant, gives creatures indestructible and can put +1/+1 counters if cast in main phase.
3. Cultivator of Blades (for reference on mass counter giving, though not instant).

True equivalents are rare; Contractual Safeguard is unique in distributing all types of counters at instant speed.

    Rules

  • A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch.
  • If a permanent that would be dealt damage has more than one shield counter on it, that damage is prevented and only one shield counter is removed.
  • If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
  • If you cast this spell during your main phase, you may choose the shield counter for the second part of the spell.
  • Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
  • Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
  • “Shield” is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.

    Fabricate

    Rules

  • Fabricate doesn't cause the creature with the ability to enter the battlefield with +1/+1 counters already on it. For example, Weaponcraft Enthusiast will enter the battlefield as a 0/1 creature, then its fabricate ability goes on the stack. Players may take actions (such as casting instants) while the ability is waiting to resolve.
  • If you can't put +1/+1 counters on the creature for any reason as fabricate resolves (for instance, if it's no longer on the battlefield), you just create Servo tokens.
  • The value of X is determined as Cultivator of Blades's last ability resolves. It won't change later, even if its power changes. If Cultivator of Blades is no longer on the battlefield, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine the value of X.
  • You choose whether or not to have your other attacking creatures get +X/+X as Cultivator of Blades's triggered ability resolves, not as you put it onto the stack.
  • You choose whether to put +1/+1 counters on the creature or create Servo tokens as the fabricate ability is resolving. No player may take actions between the time you choose and the time that counters are added or tokens are created.
  • If this creature's power is negative as its ability resolves, X is considered to be 0.

    Fabricate 2 (When this creature enters, put two +1/+1 counters on it or create two 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature tokens.) Whenever this creature attacks, you may have other attacking creatures get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is this creature's power.

    Support

    Rules

  • If a creature without counters receives enough -1/-1 counters to reduce its toughness to 0 or less, Together Forever's ability can't be activated before state-based actions put that creature into its owner's graveyard.
  • If a spell with support has other abilities that target creatures, those abilities and the support ability can target the same creature.
  • If some, but not all, targets for a spell become illegal, the remaining targets are affected as appropriate. If all of a spell's targets become illegal, that spell doesn't resolve.
  • Support can target a creature another player controls.
  • Together Forever's activated ability checks whether the target creature has a counter on it as the ability is activated and as the ability resolves. If the creature loses its counters later in the turn, the delayed triggered ability will still return it to its owner's hand when it dies.
  • You can't put more than one +1/+1 counter on any one target using the support action.

    Rules

  • Unbreakable Formation affects only creatures you control at the time it resolves. Creatures you begin to control later in the turn won't gain indestructible or vigilance and they won't get a +1/+1 counter.
  • Addendum abilities of instant spells apply while the spell is resolving, not immediately after casting it. If the spell is countered, you don't get the addendum bonus.
  • If an effect copies a spell with an addendum ability while it's on the stack, the copy wasn't cast at all, so you won't get the addendum bonus.
