"Find me cards equivalent to: Ill-Gotten Gains"

Equivalent cards to Ill-Gotten Gains (black, sorcery, graveyard or hand interaction):
1. Yawgmoth's Will — Lets you play cards from your graveyard this turn (not exactly the same, but similar graveyard recursion).
2. Praetor's Counsel (not black, but close effect; gives all graveyard back to hand).
3. Balthor the Defiled (not sorcery; brings back creatures to play).
4. Memory Jar (not black, not sorcery; similar hand-exile effect).

There are no exact black sorceries with all those attributes. The closest functional equivalent in black is Yawgmoth's Will — black, sorcery, graveyard recursion. Both significantly interact with the graveyard and hand size.

  • If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Null Profusion (an enchantment that says your maximum hand size is two) onto the battlefield and then resolve Praetor's Counsel, you have no maximum hand size. However, if those events happened in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be two.
  • Later effects that modify your maximum hand size, but don't set it to a specific number, will have no effect.

  • If an effect asks you to discard a card, you can’t “discard” something that is in your graveyard. Those cards are not in your hand. Thus, Cycling abilities of cards in the graveyard can’t be activated.
  • If you cast a Buyback spell, then there will be two effects trying to replace where the card goes. You get to choose if the Buyback returns the card to your hand or the card gets exiled.
  • If you play a card using Yawgmoth’s Will and something triggers only when “cast from your hand”, that something will not trigger. Such things trigger based on where the card came from.
  • It will exile itself since it goes to the graveyard after its effect starts.
  • The second ability creates a replacement effect. It applies to both costs and effects.
  • To “play a card” is to either cast a spell or to put a land onto the battlefield using the main phase special action.
  • You cannot Suspend a card from your graveyard, only your hand.
