"Find me cards equivalent to: Diligent Excavator"

Equivalent cards to Diligent Excavator (Blue, mills when you cast spells, ideally historic or artifacts):
1. Tasha's Hideous Laughter (U) — Mills, but on cast not trigger; blue.
2. Ruin Crab (U) — Mills on landfall, commonly played in blue mill decks.
3. Sage's Row Denizen (U) — Mills when another blue creature enters under your control.
4. Merfolk Secretkeeper (U) — Adventure: mills 4, blue.
5. Jace's Erasure (U) — Whenever you draw a card, opponent mills one.

    Rules

  • A card, spell, or permanent is historic if it has the legendary supertype, the artifact card type, or the Saga subtype. Having two of those qualities doesn’t make an object more historic than another or provide an additional bonus—an object either is historic or it isn’t.
  • An ability that triggers “whenever you cast a historic spell” doesn’t trigger if a historic card is put onto the battlefield without being cast.
  • Lands are never cast, so abilities that trigger “whenever you cast a historic spell” won’t trigger if you play a legendary land. They also won’t trigger if a card on the battlefield transforms into a legendary land, as the Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan double-faced cards do.
  • Some abilities trigger “whenever you cast a historic spell.” Such an ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

  • A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.
  • A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.
  • Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).
