"Find me cards equivalent to: Private Eye"

Equivalent cards to Private Eye (blue/white, supports Detectives or drawing cards, and grants unblockable):
1. Mentor of the Meek (W) — Buffs card draw when creatures enter.
2. Trostani Discordant (W/G) — Buffs creatures you control.
3. Cephalid Constable (U) — Rewards unblocked attackers.
4. Impassioned Orator (W) — Buffs allies with life gain, not unblockable.
5. Archmage Emeritus (U/U) — Draws cards when you cast Instant/Sorcery.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
  • For example, if you control Archmage Emeritus and cast an instant or sorcery spell, Archmage Emeritus's magecraft ability will trigger and you will draw a card.
  • If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger.
  • If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect.
  • Some effects instruct you to copy an instant or sorcery card in a zone other than the stack. These copies do not cause magecraft abilities to trigger. However, most effects that do this also allow you to cast the copy, and casting the copy will cause magecraft abilities to trigger.

    Rules

  • If a creature enters with +1/+1 counters or a continuous effect such as that of Wedding Festivity will apply to the creature on the battlefield, those effects apply when checking to see if Mentor of the Meek’s ability will trigger.
  • Mentor of the Meek’s ability checks the power of the other creature only as it enters. If that creature’s power is 2 or less, the ability will trigger. Once the ability triggers, raising that creature’s power above 2 won’t affect that ability. Similarly, reducing the creature’s power to 2 or less after it enters won’t cause the ability to trigger.
  • While resolving the triggered ability of Mentor of the Meek, you can’t pay {1} multiple times to draw more than one card.

    Rules

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to other creatures you control may become lethal if Trostani leaves the battlefield during that turn.
  • If a creature has an ability that triggers at the beginning of each end step and Trostani's ability causes you to gain control of it, the ability of that creature is still controlled by the creature's former controller. If the creature has an ability that triggers at the beginning of your end step, that ability doesn't trigger when you gain control of it.
  • The owner of a token is the player who created it.
