"Find me cards equivalent to: How to Keep an Izzet Mage Busy"

Here are equivalent cards to How to Keep an Izzet Mage Busy that are Sorceries, Red/Blue (Izzet colors), and can return themselves to your hand:

  • How to Keep an Izzet Mage Busy
    (No direct, official card matches all these attributes. This effect—Sorcery, Izzet colors, self-recursion—is unique.)

Closest alternatives (though not exact matches):

  • Recoup: Red sorcery that gives flashback to another sorcery.
  • Relearn: Blue sorcery that returns an instant or sorcery from your graveyard to hand.


Reason: There are no official Izzet-colored sorceries that return themselves to your hand like your described card. Most self-recursion is in blue, but usually for instants or across all colors for instants and sorceries in the graveyard, not the stack/battlefield.

Example:
Relearn (1UU)
Sorcery
Return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
