"Find me cards equivalent to: Preeminent Captain"

Equivalent cards (white, similar effect, includes Preeminent Captain):
1. Preeminent Captain — Original reference.
2. Moggcatcher (red, but similar effect for Goblins, not strictly equivalent due to color difference).
3. Recruiter of the Guard — White, but searches for a creature, does not put into play attacking.
4. Hero of Bladehold — White, creates attacking Soldier tokens, not from hand.
5. Chevalier du Lion — Unofficial/Unprinted, no known legal white creature matches Preeminent Captain’s exact effect for any creature type other than itself.

Conclusion: Preeminent Captain is unique among white creatures for directly putting a Soldier from hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Closest similar cards are Hero of Bladehold (token creation) or the red Moggcatcher (for Goblins, from library). No perfect white equivalent.

    Rules

  • Although the tokens are attacking, they never were declared as attacking creatures (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).
  • Whenever Hero of Bladehold attacks, both abilities will trigger. You can put them onto the stack in any order. If the token-creating ability resolves first, the tokens each get +1/+0 until end of turn from the battle cry ability.
  • You choose which opponent or planeswalker an opponent controls that each token is attacking when it is put onto the battlefield.

    Rules

  • If a creature card has "*" in its toughness, the ability that defines its toughness works in all zones. For example, if Nethergoyf is in your library, its toughness is determined by the ability "Nethergoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in your graveyard and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1." If your graveyard consists of an artifact card, a creature card, and an instant card, you won't be able to find Nethergoyf with Recruiter of the Guard since Nethergoyf's toughness will be 4.
