"Find me cards equivalent to: Surge Engine"

Equivalent colorless artifact creatures with similar mechanics to Surge Engine are limited. However, here are some close options:

  • Walking Ballista – Artifact Creature, colorless, scalable threat and can sink mana for value.
  • Steel Overseer – Artifact Creature, colorless, not modal but provides ongoing value.
  • Steel Hellkite – Artifact Creature, colorless, offers evasiveness and activated ability finishers.
  • Hangarback Walker – Artifact Creature, colorless, scales with mana and offers threat and value.


Reason: No artifact creature is identical to Surge Engine in color and versatility, but these offer scalable bodies, activated abilities, and are colorless constructs with utility.

    Rules

  • If enough -1/-1 counters are put on Hangarback Walker at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many Thopter tokens you get. For example, if there are three +1/+1 counters on Hangarback Walker and it gets four -1/-1 counters, you'll get three Thopter tokens. That's because Hangarback Walker's triggered ability checks the creature's existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • The value of each X in Hangarback Walker's mana cost must be equal. For example, if X is 2, you'll pay {4} to cast Hangarback Walker and it will enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.

    Flying

    Rules

  • If Steel Hellkite's third ability is activated with X equal to 0, it will destroy each nonland permanent with mana value 0 the appropriate players control.
  • If a nonland permanent has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a token that's not copying something else, for example), its mana value is 0.
  • If a permanent is copying something else, its mana value is the mana value of whatever it's copying.
  • If the mana cost of a permanent includes {X}, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
  • In all cases, ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) paid when the permanent was cast.
  • It doesn't matter who controlled those permanents at the time Steel Hellkite dealt combat damage, or if those permanents were even on the battlefield at that time.
  • Steel Hellkite's last ability destroys only nonland permanents whose mana value is exactly equal to X, and only those controlled by players who have been dealt combat damage by Steel Hellkite this turn.
  • The mana value of a permanent is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner, unless it's copying something else (see below). The mana value is the total amount of mana in that cost, regardless of color. For example, a card with mana cost {3}{U}{U} has mana value 5.
  • You may activate the last ability even if Steel Hellkite hasn't dealt combat damage to any players that turn. If you do, the ability won't do anything.

    Defender

    Rules

  • If Surge Engine loses defender in some way other than its first ability, its second ability may still be activated. Likewise, if it becomes blue in some way other than its second ability, its last ability may still be activated. Note that an effect that allows a creature to "attack as though it didn't have defender" doesn't actually cause it to lose defender.
  • If a Surge Engine whose last ability has been activated leaves the battlefield and comes back, it's a new object on the battlefield and its last ability can be activated again (once it's blue, of course).
  • Surge Engine's last ability can be activated only once per game, not once per turn.

    Rules

  • A casting cost of {X}{X} means that you pay twice X. If you want X to be 3, you pay {6} to cast Walking Ballista.
  • If Walking Ballista has been dealt damage or had its toughness reduced by an effect, this limits how many times you'll be able to remove +1/+1 counters from it in a single turn. For example, if it has three +1/+1 counters on it and has been dealt 1 damage this turn, it will be destroyed immediately after you activate the ability a second time and you won't be able to activate it a third time.
