AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Elite Arcanist

Equivalent cards to Elite Arcanist (blue, interacts with instants):

  • Spellbinder: Imprints a spell and casts a copy when it attacks.
  • Isochron Scepter: Imprints an instant and copies it for 2 mana.
  • Scholar of the Ages: Returns instants/sorceries to your hand (ETB effect instead of casting, but similar theme).
  • Mystic Archaeologist: Not direct, draws cards repeatably (blue, spell interaction).
  • Signature Spellbook: Jace (multiple blue instant/sorcery interaction cards).


Reason: These are blue cards that exile/imprint instants for repeated use or interact similarly with spells. Example:

  • If Elite Arcanist leaves the battlefield, you will no longer be able to copy the exiled card. If it returns to the battlefield, you'll be able to exile another instant card from your hand, but Elite Arcanist will be a different permanent with no connection to the first exiled card.
  • If the copied card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value when casting the copy. Don't confuse that {X} with the {X} in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's ability.
  • If the exiled card is a split card, then X is determined by the combined mana cost of both halves. However, when you cast the copy, you choose only one half to cast. You may cast a different half each time you create and cast a copy.
  • The copy is created in and cast from exile. You must still follow any timing restrictions, such as "Cast [this spell] only during combat."
  • You can't pay any alternative costs such as overload costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • You don't choose the value of {X} in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's ability. It's defined by the mana value of the exiled instant card.

  • You don't pay the spell's mana cost. If the spell has X in its mana cost, X is 0. You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can't use any alternative costs.
  • The creation of the copy and then the casting of the copy are both optional.
