7 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Hapless Researcher

Equivalent cards to Hapless Researcher (blue, 1-drop creature that loots on sacrifice):

  • Deranged Assistant: Blue, mills and adds mana, but doesn’t loot.
  • Jace's Scrutiny: Instant, not a creature, but draws and discards.
  • Careful Study: Sorcery, blue, lets you draw then discard (not a creature).
  • Fugitive Wizard: Blue 1-drop Wizard, no looting ability (weak equivalent).

Closest actual equivalents for creature looters:

  • Merfolk Looter: Blue, creature, tap to loot (not 1-drop, but very similar role).
  • Magus of the Bazaar: Blue, tap: draw 3, discard
    3.


Reason: No exact match for a 1-drop blue looter with a death trigger, but above are close in effect or play pattern.

    Rules

  • Once Deranged Assistant’s ability has been activated, it can’t be reversed for any reason. If you activate it while casting a spell and discover you can’t produce enough mana to pay that spell’s costs, the spell is reversed. The spell returns to whatever zone you were casting it from. You may reverse other mana abilities you activated while casting the spell, but Deranged Assistant’s ability can’t be reversed. You’ll still have any mana the ability produced, and the milled card will still be in your graveyard.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Investigate

    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 cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't investigate.
  • 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.
