"Find me cards equivalent to: Primal Clay"

Equivalent cards to Primal Clay (colorless Artifact Creatures with a modal enters as ability):

  • Primal Clay – The card you searched for.
  • Primalplasm is slightly similar, but it's not colorless/artifact.
  • Torchling and similar shapeshifter cards are red/not artifact.

Closest, strictly matching card:

  • Adaptive Automaton (not modal, but artifact shapeshifter; not identical function).

Summary:
Primal Clay is unique among colorless Artifact Creatures with that specific modal entry ability. No strict colorless artifacts match it exactly. If colored is acceptable, Chameleon Colossus or Malleable Impostor are shapeshifters, but not colorless or artifact.


Reason:
WOTC doesn't repeat this exact mechanic often for colorless artifact shapeshifters. Primal Clay is essentially unique in its colorless artifact + modal form choice.

    Rules

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when Malleable Impostor enters the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the chosen permanent will also work.
  • Except for the listed exceptions, Malleable Impostor copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing more (unless that permanent is itself copying something or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any noncopy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • If Malleable Impostor somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, Malleable Impostor can't become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that's already on the battlefield.
  • If the chosen permanent has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the chosen permanent is a token, Malleable Impostor copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield, with the listed exceptions. Malleable Impostor does not become a token.
  • If the chosen permanent is copying something else (for example, if the chosen permanent is a Clone), then your Malleable Impostor enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen permanent copied, with the stated exceptions.
  • You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Malleable Impostor simply enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature and is probably put into your graveyard immediately, unless something else is increasing its toughness to keep it alive.

  • If an object enters the battlefield as a copy of Primal Clay, it copies the values determined by its enters-the-battlefield replacement effect, but its power and toughness are determined by the copy's own enters-the-battlefield replacement effect. This can cause you to have a 3/3 creature with flying, or a 1/6 creature with flying and defender, for example.
  • If an object on the battlefield becomes a copy of Primal Clay, it copies the values determined by its enters-the-battlefield replacement effect.
  • While not on the battlefield, Primal Clay is a 0/0 creature card. It doesn't have flying or defender.

  • If a spell has multiple targets, but it's targeting Torchling with all of them (such as Seeds of Strength targeting Torchling three times), you can target that spell with Torchling's third ability. In that case, you change all of those targets to the same new target, as long as it meets each of the spell's targeting conditions.
  • If a spell targets multiple things, you can't target it with Torchling's third ability, even if all but one of those targets has become illegal.
  • When the third ability resolves, you must change the target if able. If you can't choose a legal target for the spell when this ability resolves, that spell's target doesn't change.
