"Find me cards equivalent to: Backlash"

Cards equivalent to Backlash (Instant, Black/Red, interacts with a creature to deal damage to its controller) are rare, but here are the closest options:
1. Backlash — (Original card, as described)
2. Wrangle — (Instant, Red: temporarily gains control of a creature, untaps it, gives it haste, but doesn't directly deal damage to controller)
3. Deflecting Palm — (Instant, Red/White: next time a source would deal damage to you, prevent it and deal it to its controller; similar effect, different trigger)
4. Ruthless Invasion / Cosmotronic Wave — (Both sorceries, Red: tap or make creatures unable to block, not exact effect, but similar board impact)

Note: No other black/red instant matches Backlash exactly. Most similar cards in these colors are either Threaten effects or damage redirections, but none have the precise effect.

  • Because Cosmotronic Wave doesn’t change the characteristics of any permanents, the set of creatures affected by its second effect is constantly updated. Creatures that come under an opponent’s control later in the turn can’t block.

    The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. If damage is prevented this way, Deflecting Palm deals that much damage to that source's controller.

  • As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.
  • If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
  • Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can't produce Phyrexian mana.
  • To calculate the mana value of a card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, count each Phyrexian mana symbol as 1.

  • If the target creature’s power becomes 5 or greater as you gain control of it (perhaps because an enchantment gives creatures you control +1/+1), Wrangle will continue to resolve as normal. The creature will still be untapped and gain haste until end of turn, and you’ll still control it until end of turn.
  • Wrangle can target any creature with power 4 or less, even one that you already control or that is already untapped.
