"Find me cards equivalent to: Rescuer Sphinx"

Cards equivalent to Rescuer Sphinx (Creature — Sphinx, Blue, ETB return + counter):
1. Aether Adept — Blue, returns a creature to hand on ETB.
2. Barrin, Tolarian Archmage — Blue, returns another creature or artifact on ETB.
3. Exclusion Mage — Blue, bounces a creature on ETB.
4. Dream Eater — Blue Sphinx, flash and ETB bounce, scry.


Reason: All are blue creatures that return permanents to hand or are Sphinxes with a similar ETB effect. None is identical, but these are close; Barrin, Tolarian Archmage is probably closest in spirit.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flash Flying Surveil

    Rules

  • Dream Eater's reflexive triggered ability triggers even if you have fewer than four cards in your library to surveil.
  • Dream Eater's triggered ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, after you've surveilled, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target nonland permanent to be returned to its owner's hand. This is different from effects that say "If you do . . ." in that you choose the target after having surveilled.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

(To surveil 4, look at the top four cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

  • If Rescuer Sphinx somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another permanent, you can’t return that permanent. You may choose only permanents that are already on the battlefield.
  • If the returned permanent had an ability that would otherwise have triggered when Rescuer Sphinx enters the battlefield (such as that of Kronch Wrangler), that ability won’t trigger.
  • You choose whether to return a nonland permanent and which one to return for Rescuer Sphinx’s ability while it’s entering the battlefield. No player may take actions between the time you choose which permanent to return and the time Rescuer Sphinx is on the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter.
