"Find me cards equivalent to: Ersatz Gnomes"

Ersatz Gnomes is an artifact creature with two unique tap abilities. No other card is strictly equivalent, but cards with related effects and the same color identity (colorless, artifact) are:
1. Crystal Spray (Instant, changes color of a spell or permanent)
2. Scuttlemutt (Artifact Creature — Scarecrow, {T}: Target creature becomes the color(s) of your choice)
3. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails (Artifact-like effect: can change color of permanents/spells, but is white)
4. Painter's Servant (Artifact Creature — Scarecrow, everything becomes one color)

Closest: Scuttlemutt and Painter's Servant have color-changing effects and are colorless artifact creatures, but none exactly imitate both abilities of Ersatz Gnomes.

  • Alters all occurrences of the chosen word in the text box and the type line of the given card.
  • Can target a card with no appropriate words on it, or even one with no words at all.
  • Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.
  • If you change the text of a spell which is to become a permanent, the permanent will retain the text change until the effect wears off.
  • It can be used to change a land’s type from one basic land type to another. For example, Forest can be changed to Island so it produces blue mana. It doesn’t change the name of any permanent.
  • It can’t change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
  • It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.
  • You can’t change proper nouns (i.e. card names) such as “Island Fish Jasconius”.
  • You choose the words to change on resolution.

  • Each card becomes a new object as it changes zones, so this effect will apply to it from scratch in the new zone. Zone-change replacement abilities that care about the new color (like "[color] permanents enter tapped") won't work because those effects are applied as the card is entering its new zone. Zone-change triggered abilities that care about the new color (like "when a [color] permanent enters" or "when you cast a [color] spell") will work because those effects apply after the card is already in its new zone.
  • If something affected by Painter's Servant is normally colorless, it will simply be the new color. It won't be both the new color and colorless.
  • The effects of multiple Painter's Servants are cumulative.
  • This ability affects every card in every game zone, all tokens on the battlefield, and all spell copies on the stack, regardless of who controls or owns them.
  • This ability doesn't overwrite any previous colors. Rather, it adds another color.
  • While Painter's Servant is on the battlefield, an effect that changes an object's colors will overwrite Painter's Servant's effect. For example, casting Cerulean Wisps on a creature will turn it blue, regardless of the color chosen for Painter's Servant.

  • In the Commander variant, the color identities of cards are determined as the game begins. Changing the colors of a player’s commander doesn’t affect its color identity or the cards that can be legally included in the deck.
  • The target creature has only the colors Scuttlemutt gives it—Scuttlemutt’s ability overwrites any previous colors the creature had.
  • You must choose one or more of the five colors of Magic while resolving Scuttlemutt’s last ability. You can’t choose “artifact,” “colorless,” or “chartreuse.”
