"Find me cards equivalent to: Strongarm Thug"

Closest equivalents to Strongarm Thug in black (B), with a focus on Mercenaries or graveyard recursion:
1. Strongarm Thug — returns Mercenaries from graveyard to hand.
2. Gravedigger — returns any creature from graveyard to hand, not limited to Mercenaries.
3. Death's Duet — sorcery, returns two creatures to hand (not a creature itself, but similar effect).
4. Aphemia, the Cacophony — returns enchantments from graveyard, not a close fit, but black graveyard recursion is rare for Mercenaries.


Reason: No other black creature directly returns Mercenary cards from the graveyard except Strongarm Thug, but Gravedigger is a close functional equivalent and in color.
