"Find me cards equivalent to: Ali from Cairo"

Equivalent card: Platinum Angel (Artifact, allows you not to lose for having 0 or less life).
Both keep you from dying to life loss, though Ali from Cairo specifically sets your life to 1, and Platinum Angel outright prevents you from losing, regardless of life total.
Both are colorless or red combos, although Ali from Cairo is strictly red. No other mono-red creature exactly replicates this effect.
Closest mono-red card: Alchemist's Gambit (lets you not lose the game for one turn).
So, summary:

  • Ali from Cairo
  • Platinum Angel
  • Alchemist's Gambit (closest in-color temporary version)

    Cleave

    Rules

  • A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value.
  • Exiling Alchemist's Gambit happens as part of its resolution. If the spell is countered, it will go to the graveyard as normal.
  • If an effect allows you to “cast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost.
  • If multiple “extra turn” effects resolve in the same turn, the most recently created turn will be taken first.
  • If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack.
  • If you somehow skip the extra turn Alchemist's Gambit gives you or skip that turn's end step, the delayed triggered ability never triggers. (If you cast Alchemist's Gambit by paying its cleave cost, the delayed triggered ability is never created at all.)
  • You can't cast a spell for both its cleave cost and another alternative cost. For example, if an effect gives an Alchemist's Retrieval in your graveyard a flashback cost of {U}, you can't cast it from your graveyard for its cleave cost.

    Cleave (You may cast this spell for its cleave cost. If you do, remove the words in square brackets.) Take an extra turn after this one. During that turn, damage can't be prevented. [At the beginning of that turn's end step, you lose the game.] Exile Alchemist's Gambit.

    Rules

  • The ability works up until Ali enters the graveyard, so if he takes lethal damage or is destroyed at the same time you take damage, the ability helps you. If the damage occurs after it goes to the graveyard, however, it is not affected by the Ali which is no longer on the battlefield.
  • This effect does not apply to effects which reduce your life without doing damage.
  • This effect does not prevent damage, it prevents the damage from turning into loss of life. So the full damage is dealt (and abilities that trigger on damage being dealt still trigger), but the full loss of life is not applied.

    Rules

  • Effects that say the game is a draw, such as the _Legends_(TM) card Divine Intervention, are not affected by Platinum Angel. They'll still work.
  • You can concede a game while Platinum Angel on the battlefield. A concession causes you to leave the game, which then causes you to lose the game (Once you concede, you no longer control a Platinum Angel, so its ability can't prevent you from losing the game).
  • If you control Platinum Angel in a Two-Headed Giant game, your team can't lose the game and the opposing team can't win the game.
  • No game effect can cause you to lose the game or cause any opponent to win the game while you control Platinum Angel. It doesn't matter whether you have 0 or less life, you're forced to draw a card while your library is empty, you have ten or more poison counters, you're dealt combat damage by Phage the Untouchable, your opponent has Mortal Combat with twenty or more creature cards in their graveyard, or so on. You keep playing.
  • Other circumstances can still cause you to lose the game, however. You will lose a game if you concede, if you're penalized with a Game Loss or a Match Loss during a sanctioned tournament due to a DCI rules infraction, or if your _Magic Online_(R) game clock runs out of time.
