"Find me cards equivalent to: Grinning Ignus"

Here are some equivalent cards to Grinning Ignus with similar functionality (creature, red, returns to hand for mana):
1. Grinning Ignus — {R}, Return it to hand: Add {C}{C}{R}.

  • It's the main example for this function in red.
    2. Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty (Birgi side):
  • Not the same, but generates red mana on spell casts. Color is red.
    3. Brass's Bounty (not a creature, just for reference):
  • Makes mana, but not equivalent; included for comparison.
    4. Ritual of the Returned — (Not relevant; just noting that very few red creatures replicate this effect.)


Reason:
Grinning Ignus is uniquely able to return itself to hand for mana in red. No other red creature has this exact text, but Birgi, God of Storytelling provides an alternative way to make red mana repeatedly in a red deck. No other mono-red creatures closely match this recursion/mana ability.

Summary:

  • Grinning Ignus is functionally unique in red as a self-recursive mana creature.
  • No direct, equivalent, same-color creatures exist.
  • Birgi, God of Storytelling comes closest for red-based combo purposes.
