AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Grinning Ignus

Cards equivalent to Grinning Ignus (red, returns to hand for mana) are:

  • Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty (red, generates mana with spells)
  • Runaway Steam-Kin (red, generates mana with spells)
  • Skirk Prospector (red, sacrifices goblins for mana)


Reason: All interact with red mana generation and self-bounce or recursion themes. None bounce exactly like Grinning Ignus, but these are closest equivalents in mono-red.

  • Although Grinning Ignus's ability has a timing restriction, it's still a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and it can't be responded to.
  • If you cast Grinning Ignus during your main phase, it will enter the battlefield and you'll receive priority. If no abilities trigger because of this, you can activate its ability immediately, before any other player has a chance to remove it from the battlefield.

    Rules

  • If Runaway Steam-Kin has three or more +1/+1 counters on it after you’re done paying for a red spell, its ability doesn’t trigger at all. If it has three or more +1/+1 counters on it as its triggered ability resolves, it doesn’t get a +1/+1 counter.
  • Runaway Steam-Kin has to be on the battlefield for its ability to trigger. Casting it won’t trigger its own ability.
  • Runaway Steam-Kin’s triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

  • You can sacrifice any Goblin you control to activate Skirk Prospector’s activated ability, including Skirk Prospector itself. Note that once you sacrifice Skirk Prospector, you won’t be able to activate its ability again, so if you’d like to sacrifice multiple Goblins including Skirk Prospector for mana, be sure to sacrifice Skirk Prospector last.
