"Find me cards equivalent to: Riptide Shapeshifter"

Equivalent cards to Riptide Shapeshifter (Creature — Shapeshifter, color: U, with similar polymorph-like effect):
1. Riptide Shapeshifter (itself)
2. Proteus Staff (not a creature, but blue, and lets you polymorph a creature: {2}{U}, put target creature on bottom, reveal until a creature, put it onto the battlefield)
3. Mass Polymorph (not a creature, blue, turns all your creatures into creatures from your deck)
4. Unstable Shapeshifter (Creature — Shapeshifter, blue, changes form but not the same effect)
5. Cryptoplasm (Creature — Shapeshifter, blue, copies other creatures)
6. Clone (Creature — Shapeshifter, blue, ETB copy effect)


Reason:
Polymorph effects in blue are mostly on instants, sorceries, or artifacts; there are few blue creatures with a polymorph ability. The most direct equivalent by text is Riptide Shapeshifter itself, but similar cards listed provide “copy” or “transform” utility in mono-blue shapeshifter creatures.

    Rules

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

    Rules

  • If another creature becomes a copy of Cryptoplasm, it will become a copy of whatever Cryptoplasm is currently copying (if anything), plus it will have Cryptoplasm’s triggered ability.
  • If the creature is an illegal target when the ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. Cryptoplasm won’t become a copy of that creature; it remains whatever it was before.
  • The copy effect lasts indefinitely. Often, it will last until it is overwritten by another copy effect (if it copies another creature on a future turn, perhaps.)
  • You choose the target for the triggered ability when the ability is put onto the stack. You choose whether or not Cryptoplasm becomes a copy of that creature when the ability resolves.

  • All creatures you put onto the battlefield with Mass Polymorph enter at the same time.
  • Any abilities that trigger during the resolution of Mass Polymorph (such as a creature's "enters" ability) will wait to be put onto the stack until Mass Polymorph finishes resolving. The player whose turn it is will put all of their triggered abilities on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order will do the same. (The last ability put on the stack will be the first one that resolves.)
  • If the number of creatures you exile is greater than the number of creature cards remaining in your library, you'll wind up revealing your entire library, putting all creature cards revealed that way onto the battlefield, then shuffling your library.
  • The creatures you exile with Mass Polymorph remain exiled for the rest of the game.

    Rules

  • If a creature enters that has some characteristic or ability set when it enters, the copy does not get to make that choice (because it is not entering. All values are zero and all checks for choices consider the choice not to have been made.
  • If the creature has power/toughness that is continuously recalculated, so does this copy of it.
  • The copy effect is not targeted.
  • When it changes "shape" to a new creature, any "enters" abilities of the creature do not trigger.
  • If an Unstable Shapeshifter is on the battlefield when another Unstable Shapeshifter enters, the first one gets the second one's triggered ability, so it will copy the next creature that enters twice. It will only do so the next time a creature enters, because the second "becomes a copy" effect to resolve will erase the extra triggered ability.
  • The ability is granted as part of the copy effect, which means it will be removed by any effects that would remove abilities regardless of when the effect was created.
