Simular effects to Squee, Goblin Nabob?

General forum

Posted on Feb. 5, 2015, 9:32 a.m. by I_H8_U_M8

So I'm just wondering what other cards have the same type of effect like Squee, Goblin Nabob, I found Exile into Darkness Are there any other cards than Squee, Goblin Nabob & Exile into Darkness?

The point is to use with cards like, Smallpox or Death Cloud for example or for fun something like Vexing Sphinx or Tolarian Winds

Undead Gladiator is vaguely similar, as is a card like Hammer of Bogardan. Death of a Thousand Stings is very similar to Exile into Darkness. Most Phoenix creatures "regrow" themselves in some way, but not always in the way you're looking for.

Bloodsoaked Champion, Reassembling Skeleton, and Flame-Wreathed Phoenix all have abilities similarish to what you are looking for. As for cards with the exact same ability...I am not sure. Dark Revenant is interesting, but if they have some means of consistant removal, you are royally screwed...so i would avoid that one. Haha

@PortfolioScytec Thanks, but I am only looking for effects that allow me to abuse discarding.

@Rhadamanthus thanks, Death of a Thousand Stings is another thing that I can use, The first effect is absolutly terrible, but thats not why I need it :P

Thanks for your interest Portfolio, Sorry, what im looking for is to get the card back to hand so I can keep abusing it, not to the battlefield, yes Bloodghast, Gravecrawler and Bloodsoaked Champion are definatly useful, but I already know of these cards, and with small pox, you don't need a creature on the battlefield to make them sacrifice theirs.

The deck help forum is only for posts about specific decks. As this is a post about card interactions and similarities I'm going to move this to the general forum. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I dunno, the topic is pretty clearly about a particular deck idea, even though there isn't a list yet. There are plenty of topics still in the Deck Help forum that are much less specific than this one.

My view is that deck help is for posts that are similar to 'help me with this list of 60 cards' whereas a question like 'which other cards do this' is for the general forum.

That's just the way I would sort things.

I agree with the chief. Anyway, I don't know of anything that does something quite like Squee. at least not for the purposes of a pox deck. maybe you could throw in some Grove of the Burnwillows and some Punishing Fire?

Perhaps you are looking for Dredge cards. Life from the Loam pops into mind, Darkblast is decent, Golgari Grave-Troll rocks, etc.

All soulshift cards deserve some love - Burr Grafter for example.

There are a lot of cards that have to do something with that, be more specific (the link will help):

Genesis, All Suns' Dawn, Call to the Netherworld, cards with the "recover" ability (Grim Harvest and Krovikan Rot seem the best), cards with the "gotcha" ability if you're playing casual with "un" cards (Creature Guy), Death Spark, Endbringer's Revel, Eternal Dragon, Firewing Phoenix...

i went through 4 out of 14 pages on a gatherer search for "return, graveyard, hand." seems like you have lots of options depending on your colors and what kind of deck you're building.

@CommanderOfBolas thanks, Punishing Fire is pretty good for my purpose, although I am trying to avoid paying a cost.

@Unforgivn_II Thanks, that is exactly the type of card i'm looking for.

@Boza I am already well aware of dredge and soulshift since they have keywords dedicated to them, for my purpose I may be using dredge to get these other cards like Squee, Goblin Nabob into my graveyard, Im looking for some hidden gems that are out there with unique effects like Squee, Goblin Nabob, Rekindled Flame, Exile into Darkness, & Death of a Thousand Stings. I am looking for these "manaless" card advantage cards. Thank you for the link though, it helped me find Phantasmagorian

@shuflw Thanks for your help, however for the purpose of this deck, Im looking for cards with manaless returns. I do not doubt the power of the Genesis for example :P however good he is, 3 is too much in this situation. s

@Frayace thanks for your interest, however that will not help me, it again goes with the Bloodghast, Gravecrawler and Bloodsoaked Champion. Definatly useful cards, however, its not what I'm looking for.

Veilborn Ghoul goes to your hand though, but ok.

and he can combo with a bounce land, like Golgari Rot Farm, with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. You can keep playing and returning the bounce land, and it'll will count as a swamp, returning Veilborn Ghoul.
