Looking for cards which share/steal keyword abilities (such as Cairn Wanderer)
Commander Deck Help forum

Hey folks. As usual, I'd appreciate some help because I suck at using card searches.
I'm looking for cards like Cairn Wanderer, Death-Mask Duplicant, Soulflayer. Ones that steal or share keyword abilities from other creature cards.
A different question but on a related note, I'm also not sure how to look up 'keyword soup' creatures which basically have a lot of keywords printed on them, other than looking up each combination of keywords individually and finding which creatures share them and as many others as possible, which would take approximately forever.
I hate basically asking people to look stuff up for me but I'm really not sure which terms I'm meant to use to find such cards.
Thanks in advance.
There's Concerted Effort which distributes the ability to others, rather than a body which clones the ability for itself. Funny with Progenitus as commander though.

Gatherer search "The same is true" comes up with, along with what's been mentioned and some less-relevant stuff, Animus of Predation (not really helpful), Escaped Shapeshifter (on a small scale), and Majestic Myriarch. For loads of keywords, there's Vampire Nighthawk, Aerial Responder, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, and Sphinx of the Steel Wind off the top of my head.
Take care to match up which abilities are granted by which cards. Cairn Wanderer, Concerted Effort, and Odric, Lunarch Marshal all have different ability lists.

Thanks, I think that gave me the correct search to use for finding other creatures with a similar design. I think I might create a new thread for the second question so it isn't so convoluted. Thanks again!

I dont know any that steal them from the grave other than what you mentioned but Odric, Lunarch Marshal does something similar.
As for things with a lot of keywords Chromanticore, Drogskol Reaver, and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn are usually in Soulflayer decks.
