Ensoul Artifactutility$0.27It turns an artifact into a large creature with a comparable power-setting effect, serving the same artifact-animator role. It is more permanent than Skilled Animator but fills the same aggressive/enabling niche.Cyberdrive Awakenerfinisher$6.69It animates your artifacts into creatures and can create a sudden win condition, overlapping with Skilled Animator's artifact-to-creature theme. It scales much higher in the late game.Rise and Shineutility$0.33It turns artifacts into creatures, often as a mass-animate spell that can close games or convert a board into attackers. Compared to Skilled Animator, it is a spell rather than a body.March of the Machinesutility$0.47It animates all noncreature artifacts, which is a broader version of the same core function. It is stronger in artifact-heavy decks but can also be symmetrical.Karn, Silver Golemutility$16.79It turns artifacts into creatures repeatedly, providing ongoing artifact animation similar to Skilled Animator. It is more flexible and can also shrink opposing artifacts.Dance of the Manseutility$1.11It returns artifacts and enchantments while also animating them into creatures at higher X values, overlapping with the artifact-animator plan. It is less direct but powerful in the same deck archetype.Padeem, Consul of Innovationutility$8.49While not an animator, it supports artifact-centric decks by protecting your key artifact and drawing cards, often filling a similar slot in artifact synergy shells. It is a strong alternative payoff piece for blue artifact decks.Master Transmuterutility$6.25It enables artifact manipulation and cheats large artifacts into play, serving a similar blue artifact-combo role. It does not animate directly, but it is a comparable synergy creature for artifact decks.
