"Find me cards equivalent to: Adverse Conditions"

Equivalent cards to Adverse Conditions (Devoid, tap, token creation) in colorless/Devoid instants are very rare. Closest options:
1. Adverse Conditions (the original)
2. Grip of the Roil (similar effect, but is blue, not colorless: Tap creature, draw a card, Surge)
3. Spatial Contortion (Instant, Devoid, colorless, but deals +3/-3 to a creature—not tap or token).


Reason:
No other single colorless instant emulates all aspects of Adverse Conditions. Most either don't tap, don't give tokens, or aren't colorless/devoid. Grip of the Roil is closest in effect (but is blue).

Example card for Devoid:
Spatial Contortion
Devoid
Target creature gets +3/-3 until end of turn.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Devoid

    Rules

  • A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.
  • Adverse Conditions tracks the creatures, but not their controller. If either of the creatures changes controllers before its first controller's next untap step has come around, then it won't untap during its new controller's next untap step.
  • Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.
  • Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
  • Eldrazi Scions are similar to Eldrazi Spawn, seen in the Zendikar block. Note that Eldrazi Scions are 1/1, not 0/1.
  • Eldrazi and Scion are each separate creature types. Anything that affects Eldrazi will affect these tokens, for example.
  • If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.
  • Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.
  • Sacrificing an Eldrazi Scion creature token to add {C} is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
  • Some instants and sorceries that create Eldrazi Scions require targets. If all targets for such a spell have become illegal by the time that spell tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't get any Eldrazi Scions.
  • You can cast Adverse Conditions with no targets. When it resolves, you'll get an Eldrazi Scion. However, if you cast Adverse Conditions with any targets and all of those targets are illegal as it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't get the Eldrazi Scion in that case.

    Surge

    Rules

  • Casting a spell for its surge cost doesn't change its mana cost or its mana value.
  • For some cards, surge represents only an alternative cost, a discount that applies if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn. Other cards, like Reckless Bushwhacker, have additional abilities or effects if you paid the surge cost to cast the spell.
  • Grip of the Roil can target a creature that's already tapped. It still won't untap during its controller's next untap step.
  • Grip of the Roil tracks the creature, but not its controller. If the creature changes controllers before its first controller's next untap step has come around, then it won't untap during its new controller's next untap step.
  • If an instant or sorcery spell cast for its surge cost is copied, the copy is also considered to have had its surge cost paid.
  • The other spell that you or a teammate cast can be one that's resolved, one that was countered, or (for instants with surge) one that's still on the stack.
