Cards worded like fiend hunter

I play a karador combo deck (not listed on tappedout) that abuses Reveillark and friends with sac outlets. I have found that due to the sac and recursion that I have available, I can permanently exile cards with Fiend Hunter and Faceless Butcher. I have just recently found that Tidehollow Sculler does something very similar, and was wondering if there were any other cards in my colors worded as such so I can abuse their abilities by saccing them before the exile resolves.

That card has a similar ability, but it was made after they started to change the wording so it can't be abused. I want to exile things permanently, not just exile permanents.

Parallax Wave can be abused in a similar way. With its activated ability on the stack remove it from the battlefield so that its triggered ability resolves before the activated ability.
Also note that the activated ability can be used to abuse Fiend Hunter etc

I have no way to easily sac enchants, otherwise parallax wave would be cool. But thank you for the help guys!

Could you not in theory remove app 5 fade counters at once before any of the triggers resolves to exile 5 creatures (or 1 creature 5 times if you're desperate), have Parallax Wave get sac'd to no fade counters, then allow the exile triggers to resolve?

I believe the fade counters are checked at upkeep and it is not a state based thing that it is just sacced whenever it has no counters. So I don't think that works. If I had a more reliable way to sac it, it would be a great option.

imho the most abusable card with that sort of thing is Portcullis.

I think there's a bunch, but I can only think of Banisher Priest
