"Find me cards equivalent to: Nick Valentine, Private Eye"

Here are cards equivalent to Nick Valentine, Private Eye in blue and artifact creature categories—focusing on unblockability, death triggers, and investigation/Clues:
1. Nimble Obstructionist – Blue creature with cycling ability (not unblockable, but replaces itself and is blue).
2. Torrential Gearhulk – Legendary Artifact Creature, blue (has a triggered effect but not unblockability or investigate).
3. Master of Waves – Blue creature, generates tokens, no artifact or investigating theme.
4. Master Thief – Blue, artifact creature interaction.
5. Academy Manufactor – Colorless artifact creature, creates Clues with artifacts.
6. Whirler Rogue – Blue, makes artifact tokens and can make creatures unblockable.
7. Sai, Master Thopterist – Blue, artifact synergies.

Most closely aligned:

  • Whirler Rogue (makes tokens, grants unblockability)
  • Academy Manufactor (works with Clues)
  • Sai, Master Thopterist (artifact synergies and tokens)

Nick Valentine, Private Eye combines unblockability, artifact creature, and investigation, which is a unique combination. Whirler Rogue and Academy Manufactor are closest for blue artifact Clue/token synergy, but there’s no exact match.

    Rules

  • Creating a Clue token this way isn't the same thing as investigating. Notably, an ability that triggers whenever you investigate won't trigger because you created a Clue token due to this replacement effect. If the original token creation was because you investigated once, those abilities will still each trigger once, no matter how many Clue tokens you end up creating.
  • If you control eighteen Academy Manufactors (I don't know, you figure it out) and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create 129,140,163 times that many Clue tokens, 129,140,163 times that many Food tokens, and 129,140,163 times that many Treasure tokens.
  • If you control one Academy Manufactor and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create that many Clue tokens, that many Food tokens, and that many Treasure tokens.
  • If you control two Academy Manufactors and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create three times that many Clue tokens, three times that many Food tokens, and three times that many Treasure tokens.

    Rules

  • Barring other effects, the Elemental tokens will enter the battlefield as 2/1 creatures.
  • Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
  • If Master of Waves leaves the battlefield, and nothing else is raising the toughness of the Elemental tokens above 0, the Elemental tokens will die and subsequently cease to exist.
  • If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.
  • Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • Numeric mana symbols ({0}, {1}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • Use your devotion to blue as the triggered ability resolves to determine how many tokens are put onto the battlefield. If Master of Waves is still on the battlefield at that time, its mana cost will count toward your devotion to blue.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Cycling Flash Flying

    Rules

  • Abilities that create replacement effects, such as a permanent entering the battlefield tapped or with counters on it, can't be targeted. Abilities that apply "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" are also replacement effects and can't be targeted.
  • Activated abilities are written in the form "Cost: Effect." Some keyword abilities, such as equip and eternalize, are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder texts.
  • If you counter a delayed triggered ability that triggers at the beginning of the "next" occurrence of a specified step or phase, that ability won't trigger again the following time that phase or step occurs.
  • Mana abilities can't be targeted. An activated mana ability is one that could add mana as it resolves, doesn't have a target, and isn't a loyalty ability. A triggered mana ability is one that could add mana as it resolves and triggers on an activated mana ability.
  • Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]." Some keyword abilities, such as prowess and afflict, are triggered abilities and will have "when," "whenever," or "at" in their reminder text.
  • The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve, and you'll draw a card.
  • When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.
