"Find me cards equivalent to: Standard Procedure"

Standard Procedure is a flexible card due to its ability to become any instant or sorcery of mana value 3 or less. There are very few cards like this, but here are some colorless instants that have similar flexibility or copying effects:
1. Spiraling Duelist (closest in the effect of copying or becoming)
2. Mirrorworks (artifact, not instant, but copies artifacts)
3. Isochron Scepter (artifact that can cast a copied instant)

However, there is no exact match or direct equivalent to Standard Procedure with the same flexibility in colorless instant form. Most copying effects are blue or artifact-based, and rarely colorless instants.


Reason: No other colorless instant can become any instant/sorcery like Standard Procedure. Closest equivalents are artifact copy effects.

    Rules

  • If Isochron Scepter leaves the battlefield while the activated ability is on the stack, the ability can still make a copy. On the other hand, if the imprinted card leaves the exile zone while the activated ability is on the stack, the copy can't be made.
  • If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
  • If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked.
  • You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.

    Copy

    Rules

  • As the token is created, it checks the printed values of the artifact it's copying, as well as any copy effects that have been applied to it.
  • Each time the ability triggers, you can pay {2} only one time to get one token.
  • If the artifact that caused Mirrorworks's ability to trigger has already left the battlefield by the time the ability resolves, you can still pay {2}. If you do, you'll still put a token onto the battlefield. That token has the copiable values of the characteristics of that nontoken artifact as it last existed on the battlefield.
  • The copiable values of the token's characteristics are the same as the copiable values of the characteristics of the artifact it's copying.

  • If Spiraling Duelist has double strike as the combat damage step begins, there will be a second combat damage step. As that second combat damage step begins, if Spiraling Duelist no longer has double strike (perhaps because an artifact creature you controlled was destroyed), Spiraling Duelist will not assign combat damage a second time.

    Rules

  • After activating Standard Procedure’s ability, it stays revealed in your hand until the ability resolves. If Standard Procedure is no longer in your hand at that time, it won’t become the chosen card.
  • At the time of Unfinity’s release, the following card sets are permitted in the Standard format: Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, Innistrad: Crimson Vow, Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Streets of New Capenna, and Dominaria United. Notably, and thankfully, Unfinity is not Standard-legal. Go to Magic.Wizards.com/Formats for a complete list of formats and their permitted card sets and banned lists.
  • If you choose a card with {X} in its mana cost, {X} is considered to be 0 when determining whether the card’s mana value is 3 or less.
  • Standard Procedure’s effect isn’t a copy effect. It becomes the chosen card until end of turn. Treat it just as though it were the chosen card. For example, say you chose Lightning Strike. That card is now Lightning Strike. After you cast it, it would go to your graveyard. If it got shuffled into your library, it would still be Lightning Strike. You could then find it while searching your library for a red card, for example. For all intents and purposes, it is the chosen card for the turn no matter what happens to it.
  • The chosen card must be Standard-legal, even if you’re playing a different format.
