"Find me cards equivalent to: Aspiring Champion"

Here are some cards similar to Aspiring Champion (red creatures, Astartes Warrior, with a unique transformation/combat trigger mechanic):
1. Ilharg, the Raze-Boar

  • Red creature. When it attacks, you put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking, and return it to your hand at end of combat.

  • Reason:     Similar effect of cheating a creature onto the battlefield via combat trigger.
    2. Etali, Primal Storm
  • Red creature. When it attacks, exile the top card of each player's library, and you may cast any number of spells exiled this way without paying their mana costs.

  • Reason:     Attack trigger that creates massive board impact, akin to Aspiring Champion.
    3. Loyal Apprentice
  • Red creature. At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you control your commander, create a 1/1 flying Thopter that gains haste.

  • Reason:     Passive generation of board advantage via combat phase.
    4. Urabrask the Hidden (as Urabrask, Heretic Praetor)
  • Red creature. At each upkeep, exile the top card of your library and you can play it that turn.

  • Reason:     Continuous card advantage with red flavor.

All these cards—Aspiring Champion, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, Etali, Primal Storm, and Loyal Apprentice—are mono-red creatures with combat/damage triggers that create board advantage. None duplicate Ruinous Ascension exactly, but they have similar power spikes from attacking or dealing damage.

    Rules

  • Any cards not cast, including land cards, remain in exile. They can't be cast on later turns, even if Etali attacks again.
  • Because all attacking creatures are chosen at once, a creature cast this way can't attack during the same combat as Etali, even if it has haste.
  • If an exiled card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the card.
  • If you cast any of the exiled cards, you do so as part of the resolution of the triggered ability. You can't wait to cast them later in the turn. Timing permissions based on a card's type are ignored, and the spells resolve before blockers are declared.
  • If you cast more than one of the exiled cards, you choose the order in which to cast them. A spell you cast this way can be the target of a later spell you cast this way. However, permanent spells cast this way won't resolve until you're done casting spells, so the permanents they become can't be the target of spells cast this way. For example, if you exile Twincast and Lightning Strike, you can cast Lightning Strike and then cast Twincast targeting it; but if you exile a creature card and an Aura card, you can't cast that Aura targeting that creature.
  • In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any spells or permanents you control from Etali's ability are exiled.

    Rules

  • Although the new creature is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature (for the purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example, such as those of Trusted Pegasus and Makeshift Battalion).
  • If an effect exiles the God and immediately returns it to the battlefield, its last ability triggers but will have no effect. However, if an effect exiles it and would return it to the battlefield at a later time, the God's ability may return that card to its owner's library first. If it does, the effect that exiled it won't return it later.
  • If one of these Gods dies and it's your commander, you may put it into the command zone before its ability puts it into your library. If you save your commander this way, it won't put it into your library. The same is true if it would be exiled.
  • If one of these Gods leaves the graveyard or exile while its last ability is on the stack, it will remain in its new zone, even if that zone is a graveyard or exile.
  • If the God's owner has two or fewer cards in their library, the God is put on the bottom of their library as its last ability resolves.
  • If the new creature has an ability that triggers at the beginning of the end step, that ability will trigger and resolve even if the creature is returned to your hand during the end step before that ability resolves.
  • If the new creature leaves the battlefield before the end step, most likely because it died in combat, that card remains in its current zone. It won't return to your hand.
  • If you control another player's God when it dies, you decide whether to put that card into its owner's library.
  • In a multiplayer game, if you put another player's God onto the battlefield under your control, it will be exiled as you leave the game. If you were still the controller of that God, you would control its triggered ability but you have left the game; that ability won't resolve and the card remains in exile. Similarly, if you lose the game at the same time that another player's God that you put onto the battlefield is destroyed, it remains in its owner's graveyard.
  • You choose which player, planeswalker, or battle the new creature is attacking. It doesn't have to be attacking the same player, planeswalker, or battle that Ilharg is attacking.

    Trample Whenever Ilharg attacks, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Return that creature to your hand at the beginning of the next end step. When Ilharg dies or is put into exile from the battlefield, you may put it into its owner's library third from the top.

    Haste At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn. At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, the next time they would draw a card this turn, instead they exile the top card of their library. They may play it this turn.
