"Find me cards equivalent to: Dogged Detective"

Equivalent cards to Dogged Detective (Creature — Human Rogue, color B, surveil, graveyard recursion, opponent's card draw triggers) include:
1. Gurmag Drowner — Surveil 2 on ETB (technically exploits, but serves similar effect, not exact draw-based recursion).
2. Kaya's Ghostform — Enables graveyard return (not a creature).
3. Gonti, Lord of Luxury — ETB surveil-like (though specifically exile, not exact).
4. Persistent Specimen — Black creature that recurs from graveyard to hand/battlefield.
5. Ogre Slumlord — Mono-black Human interaction, not exact.

Closest in function: Persistent Specimen (recurs from graveyard) and Gurmag Drowner (surveil-like effect).

Direct equivalents with identical combinations of surveil 2 and graveyard recursion on opponent's second card draw do not exist; Dogged Detective is unique among black Human Rogues.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • Dogged Detective doesn't need to be in the graveyard when the first card is drawn for its last ability to trigger. As long as it is in the graveyard when an opponent draws their second card in a turn, it will trigger.
  • 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.

Whenever an opponent draws their second card each turn, you may return this card from your graveyard to your hand.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.
  • Casting the card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • Gonti doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • If you leave the game, the card remains exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at it.
  • You may look at and cast that card (and spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can't look at or cast the card, and you still can.
  • You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.
  • The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. Snow mana is not a type of mana. Gonti, Lord of Luxury won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.

    Deathtouch When Gonti enters, look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

    Exploit

    Rules

  • A creature with exploit “exploits a creature” when the controller of the exploit ability sacrifices a creature as that ability resolves.
  • If the creature with exploit isn’t on the battlefield as the exploit ability resolves, you won’t get any bonus from the creature with exploit, even if you sacrifice a creature. Because the creature with exploit isn’t on the battlefield, its other triggered ability won’t trigger.
  • You can sacrifice the creature with exploit if it’s still on the battlefield. This will cause its other ability to trigger.
  • You can’t sacrifice more than one creature to any one exploit ability.
  • You choose whether to sacrifice a creature and which creature to sacrifice as the exploit ability resolves.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Enchant

    Rules

  • If Kaya’s Ghostform and the enchanted permanent are both put into graveyards and/or exiled at the same time, the enchanted permanent will be returned to the battlefield.
  • If Kaya’s Ghostform enchants a permanent you control but don’t own, that permanent will return to the battlefield under your control when it dies or is exiled. In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any creatures you control from Kaya’s Ghostform’s effect are exiled.
  • If an effect exiles the enchanted permanent and immediately returns it to the battlefield, the last ability of Kaya’s Ghostform triggers but will have no effect. If an effect exiles the enchanted permanent and would return it to the battlefield at a later time, Kaya’s Ghostform will return that card to the battlefield and it won’t be returned later.
  • If another player gains control of the enchanted permanent, Kaya’s Ghostform will be put into your graveyard.
  • If the enchanted permanent is put into a graveyard or exile but leaves that zone before the last ability of Kaya’s Ghostform resolves, that card stays in its new zone, even if that zone is also a graveyard or exile. You don’t return it to the battlefield.
  • Kaya’s Ghostform can enchant a token, but its last ability won’t return the token to the battlefield.
  • Kaya’s Ghostform is put into your graveyard once the enchanted permanent leaves the battlefield. It doesn’t return to the battlefield with that permanent.
