4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Pattern Matcher

Cards equivalent to Pattern Matcher in colorless (artifact creatures) that help you find creatures with the same name are:
1. Clone Shell (colorless, but only lets you play exiled cards, not search by name)
2. Mirror of the Forebears (colorless, can copy a chosen creature type each turn)
3. Adaptive Automaton (colorless, boosts a chosen creature type)

However, Pattern Matcher is unique in searching your library for a card with the same name. No other artifact creature does exactly this, but Mirror of the Forebears and Adaptive Automaton support tribal/same-name synergies.

    Rules

  • As Clone Shell's first ability resolves, you must exile one of the cards you look at, even if none of them is a creature card.
  • As Clone Shell's second ability resolves, if the exiled card is not a creature card, it simply remains in exile face up.
  • If you gain control of another player's Clone Shell, you can't look at the face-down exiled card. However, if Clone Shell dies, you turn that card face up and, if it's a creature card, you put it onto the battlefield under your control.

    Imprint — When this creature enters, look at the top four cards of your library, exile one face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. When this creature dies, turn the exiled card face up. If it's a creature card, put it onto the battlefield under your control.

    Mirror of the Forebears #54 Artifact

    Rules

  • If Mirror of the Forebears becomes a copy of a creature that itself has an ability that asks you to choose a creature type as it enters the battlefield and another ability that references “the chosen creature type,” that ability won’t have a choice made for it. You won’t use the type chosen for Mirror of the Forebears.
  • If Mirror of the Forebears becomes a copy of a legendary creature you control, you’ll put one of them into your graveyard.
  • If Mirror of the Forebears becomes a creature the same turn it enters the battlefield, you can’t attack with it or use any of its {T} abilities (if it gains any) unless it has haste.
  • If Mirror of the Forebears copies a creature that’s copying something else, it will become whatever the target is copying.
  • If an effect begins to apply to Mirror of the Forebears before it becomes a copy of another permanent, that effect will continue to apply. For example, if Mirror of the Forebears is activated twice in response to itself targeting first Spirit of the Hearth then Temur Sabertooth, the ability it has while it’s a copy of Temur Sabertooth can be activated and its effect will continue to apply while Mirror of the Forebears is a copy of Spirit of the Hearth.
  • If you activate the second ability of Mirror of the Forebears multiple times in a turn in response to itself, then each time one of those abilities resolves, it will overwrite whatever Mirror of the Forebears is copying. Mirror of the Forebears will wind up as a copy of the permanent targeted by the last ability to resolve. When the turn ends, all instances of the ability will wear off at the same time.
  • If you somehow control a Mirror of the Forebears with no chosen creature type, its activated ability can’t be activated.
  • Mirror of the Forebears becomes an artifact in addition to its other types. This is a copiable value that other effects may copy.
  • Mirror of the Forebears copies the printed values of the target creature, plus any copy effects that have been applied to it. It won’t copy counters on that creature or effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on. Notably, it won’t copy effects that made the target creature become a creature.
  • Once the second ability of Mirror of the Forebears resolves, it no longer has that ability.
  • You can’t choose multiple creature types, such as “Cat Warrior.” A Cat Warrior is both a Cat and a Warrior. It’s affected by anything that affects either type and unaffected by things that affect non-Cat or non-Warrior creatures.
  • You must choose an existing creature type, such as Vampire or Cat. Card types such as “artifact” can’t be chosen.
