If I have MoE in play and Sword of the Meek in my graveyard, and I play Myr Servitor, does the sword's ability still trigger? I guess what I'm asking is does MoE cause the sword's ability to "stifle" itself?
With Master of Etherium in play no artifact creature will Enter the battlefield as a 1/1 so Sword of the meek will not trigger and it will be left in the graveyard.
But it isn't "failing" to find anything like the Rampant Growth example. 701.14b is saying specifically that you can choose none some or all in an instance where you would be searching for all of a card. This seems clunky and bothersome considering it was just reprinted a few months ago. Having the ruling there is one thing, since no doubt there will be those who are using the Odyssey version, but not clarifying it during a print run where everything was reworded anyway seems a little backwards.
For reference I will again put the text of 701.14B
If a player is searching a hidden zone for cards with a stated quality, such as a card with a certain card type or color, that player isn’t required to find some or all of those cards even if they’re present in that zone.
Effectively saying if you have to look for a card with matches certain criteria as haunting echoes does, that the cards to be exiled have the same name as a card in your graveyard and is not a basic land and a searching there library, a hidden zone. They can chose not to exile cards from a library.
This rule has been in place since the 6th edition rules changes with the only changes being its clause number where approriate.
The sole change to haunting echoes since it was first printed in Odyessey block is Remove from the game has been replaced with Exile.
Why can you choose not to remove any of the cards? That ruling doesn't make sense.

In the context of the question someone has cast haunting echoes and had it swerveed back to them. In that case not having to rip your own deck apart is useful.
When you copy something you only get the permenants base characteristics not anything that has been added to it. The new Kazandu Blademaster will be a 2/2 creature with the original now being 7/7.

If an effect sets your life to a number higher than it was before the effect resolves you have gained life.
So if you use Eternity vessel and gain life and some one casts False curebefore the ability resolves you will lose twice the amount you gained.
Though note Eternity vessel readsy you may have your life total become it is not compulsory.
You have not controlled them since the begining of your most recent turn so they will have summoning sickness.
