"Find me cards equivalent to: Grinning Ignus"

Cards equivalent to Grinning Ignus (red, creature, returns to hand for mana):
1. Birgi, God of Storytelling (on the back: Harnfel, Horn of Bounty)
Generates red mana on spell cast; enables similar storm/mana loops.
2. Runaway Steam-Kin
Gains counters and can be cashed for red mana; helps with mana loops in red.
3. Dreamscape Artist (blue, assumes you're open to off-color, otherwise stick with the first two)
Activated ability to ramp with a bounce-to-hand effect.

Grinning Ignus is unique for the exact cost/mana combo, but Birgi and Runaway Steam-Kin fit similar red-mana/combo archetypes.

  • Although Grinning Ignus's ability has a timing restriction, it's still a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and it can't be responded to.
  • If you cast Grinning Ignus during your main phase, it will enter the battlefield and you'll receive priority. If no abilities trigger because of this, you can activate its ability immediately, before any other player has a chance to remove it from the battlefield.

  • If Runaway Steam-Kin has three or more +1/+1 counters on it after you’re done paying for a red spell, its ability doesn’t trigger at all. If it has three or more +1/+1 counters on it as its triggered ability resolves, it doesn’t get a +1/+1 counter.
  • Runaway Steam-Kin has to be on the battlefield for its ability to trigger. Casting it won’t trigger its own ability.
  • Runaway Steam-Kin’s triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
