"Find me cards equivalent to: Shiko, Paragon of the Way"

Equivalent cards to Shiko, Paragon of the Way (Legendary Creature, Spirit/Dragon, Jeskai R/U/W, flying, vigilance, temporary graveyard recursion with free cast for cheap spells) are:
1. Narset, Enlightened Exile — also R/U/W, casts noncreature, nonland cards from graveyard for free.
2. Elsha of the Infinite — R/U/W, plays spells from top of library, not graveyard, but similar free spell angle.
3. Niv-Mizzet Reborn — multi-color legendary dragon, but its effect is topdeck-based, not graveyard.
4. Kess, Dissident Mage — U/B/R, but not W, lets you cast an instant or sorcery from your graveyard during your turn.

Closest direct equivalents (all are not exact, but meet parts of Shiko's criteria—graveyard recursion, spell copying/casting, and Jeskai colors). No existing card matches Shiko exactly.

  • Elsha lets you look at the top card of your library whenever you want (with one restriction—see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.
  • If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast the top card of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell.
  • You'll still pay all costs for a spell you cast from your library, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs.

    Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.) You may look at the top card of your library any time. You may cast noncreature spells from the top of your library. If you cast a spell this way, you may cast it as though it had flash.

  • If a sorcery card is put into your graveyard during your main phase and the stack is empty, you have a chance to cast it before any player may attempt to remove that card from your graveyard.
  • If a spell cast this way is put into another zone after it resolves (perhaps because it had buyback), it's considered a new object. If that card later moves to your graveyard, it won't be exiled.
  • If you cast a card from your graveyard using another permission (such as that of flashback), Kess's effect doesn't apply. You can cast another instant or sorcery card from your graveyard.
  • If you cast one instant or sorcery card from your graveyard and then have a new Kess come under your control in the same turn, you may cast another instant or sorcery card from your graveyard that turn.
  • Once you begin to cast the card, losing control of Kess won't affect the spell. You can finish casting it as normal and it will be exiled if it would be put into your graveyard.
  • You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions of the card you cast from your graveyard.
  • You must pay the costs to cast that card. If it has an alternative cost, you may cast it for that cost instead.

  • If a creature has multiple instances of prowess, each triggers separately.
  • If another effect causes Narset's power to be less than or equal to the mana value of the target card as the ability tries to resolve, the target is illegal. The card won't be exiled, and you won't get to cast a copy.
  • If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
  • If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are performed.
  • Narset's first ability gives it prowess while it's on the battlefield.
  • Once a prowess ability triggers, causing the creature to lose prowess by removing Narset, Enlightened Exile won't affect that ability. The creature will still get +1/+1 until end of turn.
  • You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.

    Creatures you control have prowess. Whenever Narset attacks, exile target noncreature, nonland card with mana value less than Narset's power from a graveyard and copy it. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

    Flying, vigilance When Shiko enters, exile target nonland card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard. Copy it, then you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. (A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token.)
