6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Runechanter's Pike

Equivalent cards to Runechanter's Pike (blue, artifact, cares about instants/sorceries):
1. Cranial Plating — Boosts power based on artifacts.
2. Bonehoard — Boosts power based on creatures in graveyards.
3. Nivmagus Elemental — Grows from exiling instants/sorceries you cast.
4. Crystalline Giant — Grows and gains abilities over time.
5. Trailblazer's Boots — Grants unblockable based on landwalk.


Reason: While none give a power boost exactly like Runechanter's Pike (equal to instants/sorceries in graveyard and first strike), these scale with deck content and are often used in blue control/spell-based decks.

    Rules

  • Although creature tokens go to the graveyard before ceasing to exist, they never count as creature cards and won't increase the bonus granted by Bonehoard, however briefly.
  • If lethal damage is dealt simultaneously to the equipped creature and another creature, both creatures are put into the graveyard at the same time. The equipped creature won't get an additional bonus from the other creature.
  • If there are no creature cards in any graveyard when Bonehoard's living weapon ability resolves, the Germ will be 0/0 and put into its owner's graveyard.
  • The value of X is calculated continuously as the number of creature cards in graveyards changes.
  • If the Germ token is destroyed, the Equipment remains on the battlefield as with any other Equipment.
  • If the living weapon trigger causes two Germs to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), the Equipment becomes attached to one of them. The other will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.
  • Like other Equipment, each Equipment with living weapon has an equip cost. You can pay this cost to attach an Equipment to another creature you control. Once the Germ token is no longer equipped, it will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.
  • The Germ token enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature and the Equipment becomes attached to it before state-based actions would cause the token to die. Abilities that trigger as the token enters the battlefield see that a 0/0 creature entered the battlefield.

    Rules

  • Cranial Plating is counted by its own ability, so it gives at least +1/+0.
  • Cranial Plating's first activated ability is similar to an equip ability, but it's not an equip ability. Most importantly, it can be activated any time you could cast an instant, even during another player's turn.

  • As long as Crystalline Giant doesn't have all ten of the listed counters on it, you'll put one on it at the beginning of combat on your turn. If it has all ten kinds, the ability will trigger but you won't put any counter on it.
  • If Crystalline Giant has one of the listed keywords but not because of a counter of that kind, that kind of counter is still eligible to be chosen at random.
  • You choose a kind of counter at random and put it on Crystalline Giant all while its ability is resolving. Players can't take actions between the time the choice is made and the time Crystalline Giant has the counter.
