Quicksilver Amuletramp$2.96Very close functional equivalent that cheats creatures from your hand directly onto the battlefield. It is more flexible because it does not require a chosen creature type.Aether Vialramp$5.11Cheats creatures from hand onto the battlefield with no mana cost for the creature, making it a classic creature-drop accelerator. It is much cheaper upfront but only works for low mana values rather than by type.Lurking Predatorsutility$12.30Similar in that it can put creatures directly onto the battlefield without paying their mana costs. It works from the library instead of hand and is a different card type, but serves the same cheat-into-play role.Defense of the Heartutility$28.09A powerful creature cheat engine that puts creatures from the library onto the battlefield. It is narrower on setup, but serves the same big-creature deployment plan.Sneak Attackramp$10.94Puts creatures from your hand onto the battlefield for a fraction of the cost, playing a similar cheat-creature role. It is faster but temporary, trading permanence for speed.Thran Temporal GatewayutilityBudget$0.45Lets you put legendary permanents, including creatures, from your hand onto the battlefield. It is more restrictive in card type but occupies a very similar artifact-cheat space.Planar Bridgeutility$3.80A top-end artifact that can tutor and put permanents directly onto the battlefield. It is much more expensive, but fills the same late-game cheat-engine role.Pattern of Rebirthutility$4.44Helps convert a creature on the battlefield into a bigger creature from the library, functioning as a creature cheat tool. It is not hand-based, but it similarly upgrades board presence through tutoring into play.
