"Find me cards equivalent to: Retriever Phoenix"

Equivalent cards (all red, Creature — Phoenix):
1. Arclight Phoenix — Flying, haste, returns from the graveyard to the battlefield when casting three or more instants/sorceries a turn.
2. Crackling Drake — Red, but not a Phoenix or graveyard recursion, so not as close.
3. Flamewake Phoenix — Flying, haste, returns from graveyard if you control a creature with power 4 or greater.
4. Spellpyre Phoenix — Flying, returns from graveyard at your upkeep if an opponent was dealt damage.

Your original: Retriever Phoenix focuses on graveyard recursion tied to the learn mechanic. Closest matches are Arclight Phoenix and Flamewake Phoenix for recurring itself from the graveyard.

    Flying Haste

    Rules

  • Flamewake Phoenix's last ability will check at the start of your beginning of combat step to see if you control a creature with power 4 or greater. If you don't, the ability won't trigger at all. If it does trigger, the ability will check again as it tries to resolve. If you don't control a creature with power 4 or greater at that time, the ability won't resolve. You won't get a chance to pay {R}, and Flamewake Phoenix won't return to the battlefield.
  • If Flamewake Phoenix can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you're not forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

    Rules

  • If Retriever Phoenix somehow dies with its triggered ability on the stack, you may return it to the battlefield with that triggered ability.
  • If a card is brought into the game from outside the game, it will stay in the game until it ends or until its owner leaves the game, whichever comes first.
  • If instructed to learn, you may do nothing. Discarding a card and putting a Lesson card into your hand are both optional.
  • If you bring a card into the game from outside the game in a Constructed tournament (or a Constructed game played under tournament conditions), you may select only a card from your sideboard. In casual Constructed games, the card comes from your collection.
  • If you bring a card into the game from outside the game in a Sealed Deck or Booster Draft event, you may select only a card that is in the card pool that you built your deck from.
  • Retriever Phoenix must be in your graveyard at the moment you're instructed to learn if you want to use the last ability to return it to the battlefield.

    Flying

    Rules

  • If you somehow cycle a card, return it to your hand, and cycle it a second time in one turn, Spellpyre Phoenix's last ability counts each time you cycled it and returns to your hand.
  • Some cards with cycling have an ability that triggers when you cycle them, and some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.
  • Spellpyre Phoenix's last ability checks the entire turn. Cards you cycled before Spellpyre Phoenix was put into your graveyard count.
  • Triggered abilities from cycling a card and the cycling ability itself aren't spells. Effects that interact with spells (such as that of Cancel) won't affect them.
  • You can cycle a card even if it has a triggered ability from cycling that won't have a legal target. This is because the cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. This also means that if either ability is countered (with Disallow, for example), the other ability will still resolve.
