Mind Swords

Sorcery

If you control a Swamp, you may sacrifice a creature rather than pay Mind Swords's mana cost.

Each player removes two cards in his or her hand from the game.

Questionable:

Arrest view might not be from the spearholder’s perspective. Tough call.

Magistrate's Scepter hands coming from off screen, but separate perspective.

Shoving Match might be from the viewpoint of the falling man; maybe not.

Mind Swords definitely first person, but the hands aren’t coming in from out of frame.

Seal of Cleansing, Seal of Fire, Seal of Removal and Seal of Strength all are a bit too far off center to be first person I think, but they’re all very similar to Seal of Doom which does feel FPP. Not sure if you want to add them for consistency’s sake.

Angel of Mercy unsure if it’s the perspective of whatever’s getting killed or not.

Urborg Emissary not sure if it’s the lizard’s perspective or not.

Harsh Judgment I think this qualifies due to the sword in the bottom right clearly not belonging to the soldier with the shield on the same side. I think we’re seeing this from the viewpoint of whoever is holding that sword closest to the camera.

Tigereye Cameo same deal as the seals mentioned above. The angle is off, but some of the other cameos do qualify.

Magma Burst we might be seeing things from the point of view of that poor unfortunate dinosaur.

Darigaaz's Charm, Crosis's Charm, Dromar's Charm, Rith's Charm and Treva's Charm are all ‘maybe but not quite’ perspectives.

I have three different question for three scenarios that are related with each other.

Question 1: Let's say I have Enduring Renewal on the battlefield along with a creature and a Swamp. I decide to cast Mind Swords for it's alternative cost sacrificing the creature to pay the cost. Would the creature return back to my hand due to Enduring Renewal before or after Mind Swords resolves?

Question 2: Similar to question 1. Let's I have Skullclamp equipped to a creature I control and a Swamp. I decide to cast Mind Swords for its alternative cost sacrificing the equipped creature to pay the cost. Would I draw the two cards from Skullclamp before or after Mind Swords resolves?

Question 3: Felidar Guardian is in my graveyard and I decide to cast Animate Dead targeting the Felidar Guardian. Once Felidar Guardian is on the battlefield I then use its enter the battlefield effect to exile or "flicker" the Animate Dead. If Animate Dead is exiled in this manner would Felidar Guardian be in my graveyard before or after the Animate Dead comes back into play? Would the Animate Dead coming back into play be able to return the same Felidar Guardian back onto the battlefield?

Thank you for the help!

Rendclaw Trow could be a fun card to have in there somewhere. Wither is mean and it has persist in case either it dies in combat or you need to sac it for value.

Similarly, Butcher Ghoul gets better after it dies from undying, so this could also be a good addition.

Also, you can't use Vampiric Rites in the sideboard, it has only been an uncommon, no common printing. Fling is completely different, but you could use that to replace it and help get the win in. Rite of Consumption would be better if you didn't care about when you can cast it. Mind Swords could be fun, especially if it's your last card in hand.

Thoughtpicker Witch also looks kind of fun. Gives you information and lets you inhibit their draw.
