"Find me cards equivalent to: Merfolk Traders"

Equivalent cards to Merfolk Traders (blue creatures with When this creature enters, draw a card, then discard a card):
1. Looter il-Kor — (Draws/discards on combat damage, not ETB.)
2. Rummaging Goblin — (Red, not blue, not a Merfolk.)
3. Laboratory Maniac — (Doesn’t loot on ETB.)

Closest blue equivalents:

  • Faerie Duelist — Not really, since it doesn't loot on ETB.
  • Jace's Scrutiny — Not a creature.
  • Fblthp, the Lost — ETB: Draw (no discard).
  • Dreamscape Artist — Blue Merfolk, but ability is different.

Best matches:

  • Merfolk Traders (your card)
  • Watertrap Weaver (ETB tap, not loot)
  • Sea Gate Oracle (ETB dig, not loot)

Conclusion: There are very few blue Merfolk creatures with ETB loot, and Merfolk Traders is unique. Phantom Ninja and others lack this mechanic. No perfect equivalent exists in blue Merfolk with ETB loot.

  • Fblthp's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • Fblthp's last ability triggers only if it's on the battlefield when it becomes the target of a spell.
  • If an effect exiles Fblthp from your library and then lets you cast that card, it's cast from exile, not from your library.
  • If the spell that targets Fblthp has no other targets, it won't resolve (because it no longer has a legal target after Fblthp has gotten totally lost in your library).
  • There's normally no way to cast Fblthp from your library or to have it enter the battlefield from your library. You'll have to use other effects to find Fblthp for the bonus card draw.

    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.

  • If for some reason you can't win the game (because your opponent has cast Angel's Grace this turn, for example), you won't lose for having tried to draw a card from a library with no cards in it. The draw was still replaced.
  • If two or more players each control a Laboratory Maniac and each player is instructed to draw a number of cards, first the player whose turn it is draws that many cards. If this causes that player to win the game instead, the game is immediately over. If the game isn't over yet, repeat this process for each other player in turn order.

    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.
