"Find me cards equivalent to: Hunt for Specimens"

Equivalent cards (similar effect, same color, Sorcery):

  • Hunt for Specimens (original card)
  • Call of the Death-Dweller (B, Sorcery, returns creatures and gives counters; a bit different, but supports black tokens)
  • Tend the Pests (B/G, creates Pest tokens, but is an Instant)
  • Dread Summons (B/B, Sorcery, creates black Zombie tokens; doesn't do exactly the same, but close in mechanics)
  • Sling-Gang Lieutenant makes tokens, but is a Creature.
  • There are no other mono-black Sorceries that exactly create Pest tokens with life gain.
  • No other Sorcery with Learn mechanic in black except Hunt for Specimens.


Reason:
Hunt for Specimens is unique in combining token creation (Pest) and Learn in a black Sorcery. Closest are black Sorceries that make tokens or feature alternative card advantage.

  • If a creature card has an ability that replaces going to the graveyard with moving somewhere else "instead," that card won't count toward the number of Zombies you get. Conversely, creature cards with a triggered ability that removes them from the graveyard when they're put there from anywhere (or your library) will count toward that number.
