"Find me cards equivalent to: Formless Genesis"

Equivalent cards to Formless Genesis with similar color (Green) and effects (token generation, recursion, or changeling):
1. Slimefoot's Survey — Green, cares about lands, but doesn't make tokens.
2. Sprout Swarm — Green, creates Saproling tokens, has convoke and buyback-like recursion, but not changeling.
3. Endling — Not a sorcery, but is a changeling with recursion ability.
4. Chameleon Colossus — Green shapeshifter, but no token or retrace ability.

Closest mtg equivalents:

  • Sprout Swarm (Green, recursion, token generation)
  • Chameleon Colossus (Green, shapeshifter/changeling)
  • Ayula's Influence (Green, discards lands to create tokens)

However, none are true equivalents due to Formless Genesis’s unique combination of changeling, retrace, and scalable token generation.


Reason: No other single green card makes a changeling token and has retrace; I included examples with partial overlap.

  • If an effect instructs you to draw cards and then discard cards, you can’t take actions in between. For example, if you have no cards in hand and cast Bazaar Trademage, you can’t activate Ayula’s Influence’s ability between the time you draw two cards and discard those cards.

    Rules

  • If Endling's last ability gives it -1/+1 enough times, it may have negative power. Use that negative value if its power is further modified. For example, if Endling's last ability gives it -1/+1 five times, it's -2/8. Giving it +1/-1 twice after that makes it 0/6, not 2/6.
  • If Endling's power is reduced to 0 or less while in combat and it gains deathtouch, it won't deal damage, so deathtouch won't apply.
  • If a card leaves the graveyard after it dies but before the undying trigger resolves, it won't be returned to the battlefield.
  • If a creature has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, state-based actions remove the same number of each so that it has only one kind of those counters on it. Endling's undying ability can bring it back again if its +1/+1 counters are removed this way.
  • If a creature has multiple instances of undying, they'll each trigger separately, but once one of those abilities returns the card to the battlefield, any others will have no effect. The creature won't receive multiple +1/+1 counters.
  • If a creature with undying that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, undying won't trigger and the card won't return to the battlefield. That's because undying checks the creature as it last existed on the battlefield, and it still had +1/+1 counters on it at that point.
  • If you activate Endling's last ability, you don't choose whether Endling gets +1/-1 or -1/+1 until that ability resolves.
  • Multiple instances of menace or deathtouch on the same creature are redundant.
  • Once undying returns the creature, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras that were attached to it won't return to the battlefield. Equipment that was attached to it will remain unattached. Any counters that were on it won't be put on the new creature.

    Changeling Retrace

    Rules

  • A retrace card cast from your graveyard follows the normal timing rules for its card type.
  • Casting a card by using its retrace ability works just like casting any other spell, with two exceptions: You're casting it from your graveyard rather than your hand, and you must discard a land card in addition to any other costs.
  • Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones.
  • If the active player casts a spell that has retrace, that player may cast that card again after it resolves, before another player can remove the card from the graveyard. The active player has priority after the spell resolves, so they can immediately cast a new spell. Since casting a card with retrace from the graveyard moves that card onto the stack, no one else would have the chance to affect it while it's still in the graveyard.
  • The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A spell or token with changeling is just as much an Elf, a Dwarf, a Sliver, a Goat, a Coward, and a Zombie as it is a Shapeshifter.
  • The value of X is determined only once, as Formless Genesis resolves. The token's power and toughness won't change if the number of land cards in your graveyard later changes.
  • When a retrace spell you cast from your graveyard resolves, fails to resolve, or is countered, it's put back into your graveyard. You may use the retrace ability to cast it again.

  • The value of X is determined after you put the lands you searched for onto the battlefield.
  • When searching your library this way, you may find cards that are not basic lands as long as they have one or more of the basic land types. The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest.
  • You may search for two cards with the same basic land type or different basic land types.

    Buyback Convoke

    Rules

  • Because convoke isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.
  • If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for convoke.
  • Tapping a multicolored creature using convoke will pay for {1} or one mana of your choice of any of that creature's colors.
  • Tapping an untapped creature that's attacking or blocking to convoke a spell won't cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.
  • When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
  • You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
