"Find me cards equivalent to: Cryptex"

Equivalent cards to Cryptex (Artifact, colorless, graveyard/exile synergy, mana fixing, card draw):
1. Chromatic Sphere – Colorless artifact, fixes mana, card draw, but uses a different cost.
2. Chromatic Star – Similar to Chromatic Sphere, fixes mana and draws a card.
3. Mind Stone – Colorless, ramps mana, can be sacrificed to draw a card, no graveyard/exile synergy.
4. Hedron Archive – Colorless, ramps, can be sacrificed to draw two cards.
5. Magnifying Glass – Mana fixer, can generate Clues for card draw, slow and different gameplay.

These share some aspects—colorless, mana fixing, or card draw—but none use collect evidence or unlock counters, which are unique to Cryptex.

  • Chromatic Sphere’s ability is not a mana ability. Players can respond to it, and it can’t be activated in the middle of paying for a cost. A recent update to rule 605.1a has made any abilities that move cards to or from libraries no longer mana abilities.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • Cryptex's first ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
  • If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
  • Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

    Rules

  • Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.
  • If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.
  • You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.
