"Find me cards equivalent to: Grinning Ignus"

Equivalent cards to Grinning Ignus (red, Creature — Elemental, mana looping effect) include:

  • Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty (creates red mana on spell cast, not identical, but similar use)
  • Steamcore Weird (red/blue, not exactly equivalent, but another Elemental with ETB effect)
  • Phyrexian Altar (not a creature, but commonly used with Grinning Ignus for combos)

Very few red creatures do exactly what Grinning Ignus does for combo loops. None match all listed attributes and text exactly. For close functional equivalents, Birgi, God of Storytelling is your best bet.
