AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Merfolk Spy

Equivalent cards to Merfolk Spy (a blue, 1/1 creature with islandwalk that lets you look at a player's hand when it deals combat damage) include:
1. Looter il-Kor — Blue, unblockable, draws/discards on damage.
2. Benthic Intruder — Blue, unblockable, has ingest.
3. Crafty Cutpurse — Blue, flash, steals tokens (relevant to subterfuge but not hand reveal).

However, very few blue cards with islandwalk let you look at a player's hand. Scroll Thief (blue, draws a card when dealing combat damage) is mechanically closest if you want card advantage instead of hand revealing.

These are all blue and share similar evasive and information-gathering abilities.

    Rules

  • Crafty Cutpurse won’t retroactively change the control of tokens that have already entered the battlefield.
  • Crafty Cutpurse’s replacement effect is applied before any other replacement effects that would also modify how the token enters the battlefield. For example, if an opponent controls Anointed Procession, your Crafty Cutpurse’s effect applies before that of Anointed Procession and you won’t get twice as many tokens.
  • If a token would be created tapped and attacking, but the token’s controller isn’t an attacking player, that token is created tapped but not attacking. If a token would be created blocking a creature, but the token’s controller isn’t a defending player, that token is created but isn’t blocking.
  • If the effect that creates the token also creates a delayed triggered ability, Crafty Cutpurse doesn’t change who controls that ability. For example, if your opponent activates the ability of Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, that opponent controls the delayed triggered ability. When the ability triggers, that player can’t sacrifice the token, so it remains on the battlefield.
  • If two or more players each have resolved Crafty Cutpurse’s triggered ability and a token would be created, the token’s would-be controller chooses one of the applicable Crafty Cutpurse effects to apply. Then the new would-be controller of the token repeats this process among the remaining Crafty Cutpurse effects, and so on, until there are no more possible such effects to apply. Each effect can be applied to the token only once this way.
  • On the other hand, if the effect that creates the token grants a triggered ability to the token, the player who controls the token at the time the ability triggers will be the player who controls that ability. For example, if your opponent activates the second ability of Jace, Cunning Castaway, the token has the ability. If the ability triggers, you’ll control it, so you’ll have to sacrifice the token.
  • The above procedure means that if each player in a two-player game has resolved Crafty Cutpurse’s triggered ability and one would create a token, it really will enter the battlefield under that player’s control. The token would enter the battlefield under player A’s control, so player B’s effect affects it. Now that token would enter the battlefield under player B’s control, so player A’s effect affects it. Each replacement effect has now been used, so the token will enter the battlefield under player A’s control.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Shadow

    Rules

  • If an attacking creature has multiple evasion abilities, such as shadow and flying, a creature can block it only if that creature satisfies all of the appropriate evasion abilities.
  • Multiple instances of shadow on the same creature are redundant.
  • Once a creature has been blocked, that creature remains blocked and will deal and be dealt combat damage even if it gains or loses shadow or if the blocking creature gains or loses shadow.
  • You draw a card and discard a card all while Looter il-Kor's ability is resolving. Nothing can happen in between, and no player can take actions.

    Landwalk

    Rules

  • After the second ability resolves, the revealed card stops being revealed in its owner’s hand.
  • Islandwalk cares about lands with the land type Island, not necessarily lands named Island.
  • The next time Merfolk Spy deals combat damage to the same player, the card that’s revealed at random may be the same card or may be a different card.
  • The second ability triggers just once each time Merfolk Spy deals combat damage to a player, regardless of how much damage it deals.
