"Find me cards equivalent to: Mindless Automaton"

Equivalent cards to Mindless Automaton (artifact, colorless, +1/+1 counters, draw when removing, discard to grow) are:
1. Walking Ballista — Enters with counters, can add more, removes counters for effect.
2. Arcbound Ravager — Artifact, manipulates +1/+1 counters, though no draw.
3. Scrap Trawler — Artifact, cares about artifacts leaving but no counters.
4. Hangarback Walker — Enters with counters, grows by paying mana, produces tokens when dies, not card draw.

Closest in function: Walking Ballista, as both enter with counters and can remove them for an effect. None draw cards by removing counters exactly as Mindless Automaton does, but Walking Ballista is closest.

    Thopter

    Rules

  • If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Hangarback Walker at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many Thopter tokens you get. For example, if there are three +1/+1 counters on Hangarback Walker and it gets four -1/-1 counters, you'll get three Thopter tokens. That's because Hangarback Walker's triggered ability checks the creature's existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • The value of each X in Hangarback Walker's mana cost must be equal. For example, if X is 2, you'll pay {4} to cast Hangarback Walker and it will enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.

  • If Scrap Trawler and another artifact you control are put into a graveyard at the same time, Scrap Trawler's ability triggers for each of them.
  • If an artifact is a copy of another artifact with greater mana value, such as Sculpting Steel copying an artifact with mana value 4, Scrap Trawler's ability can target that artifact card in your graveyard when that artifact is put into your graveyard.
  • The target artifact card must have a lesser mana value than the artifact that caused Scrap Trawler's ability to trigger by being put into a graveyard. Use the artifact's mana value as it last existed on the battlefield to determine what may be returned.
  • While on the battlefield or in a graveyard, {X} in an object's mana cost is 0.

    Rules

  • A casting cost of {X}{X} means that you pay twice X. If you want X to be 3, you pay {6} to cast Walking Ballista.
  • If Walking Ballista has been dealt damage or had its toughness reduced by an effect, this limits how many times you'll be able to remove +1/+1 counters from it in a single turn. For example, if it has three +1/+1 counters on it and has been dealt 1 damage this turn, it will be destroyed immediately after you activate the ability a second time and you won't be able to activate it a third time.
