5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Madcap Experiment

Equivalent cards to Madcap Experiment (red, artifact-related, cheat-into-play):
1. Indomitable Creativity – Also puts artifacts (and/or creatures) from library onto the battlefield.
2. Gamble – Searches for any card (but with random discard).
3. Trash for Treasure – Swaps an artifact in graveyard with one from hand.
4. Read the Runes (somewhat similar but blue) – If you want only red, the closest equivalents are above.


Reason: None match Madcap Experiment exactly, but these have similar artifact-tutoring/cheating effects in red.

    Rules

  • All of the exiled cards are put onto the battlefield at the same time.
  • If a player controls no permanents destroyed this way, that player reveals no cards from their library and doesn't shuffle it.
  • If a player's library no longer contains an artifact or creature card when instructed to reveal cards, that player reveals the entire library, exiles no cards, and then shuffles it.
  • If an artifact or creature is targeted but not destroyed (perhaps because it gained indestructible or became an illegal target), it doesn't count as one of the artifacts or creatures destroyed this way. An artifact or creature that's destroyed but put into a zone other than a graveyard (for example, due to the effect of Rest in Peace) does count.
  • While revealing cards, a player stops as soon as they reveal a card that's an artifact or a creature (or both). That player doesn't choose one type.
