Ensoul Artifactutility$0.27Turns a noncreature artifact into a creature, filling a very similar “animate an artifact” role. It is cheaper and gives a fixed 5/5 body instead of scaling with mana value.Rise and Shineutility$0.33Animates artifacts into creatures and can also scale into a wider board-wide effect. It serves the same core function of turning artifacts into threats.Brass Squireutility$1.36Not an enchantment, but it interacts with artifacts in a similarly board-building way by enabling equipment to become more active threats. It is a utility creature rather than a direct animator.Mechanized Productionutility$1.24Like Animate Artifact, it enchants an artifact and creates pressure around keeping artifacts on board. Instead of directly animating, it rewards repeated artifact presence with a growing win condition.Cyberdrive Awakenerfinisher$6.69Animates all noncreature artifacts into artifact creatures and can immediately close games. It is much broader than Animate Artifact but occupies the same artifact-animation space.March of the Machinesutility$0.47A classic global artifact-animator that turns artifacts into creatures based on mana value, very close to Animate Artifact’s core text. It affects all artifacts rather than just one.Sculpting Steelutility$2.55Not an animator, but a strong artifact-centric piece that can copy and reuse key artifacts for similar board impact. It is often used in decks that care about artifact synergies and targets.Mycosynth Latticeutility$38.86It changes all permanents into artifacts, which can enable many of the same artifact-centric interactions as Animate Artifact. It is much broader and more combo-oriented.
