Equivalent cards to Chain Assassination (Instant, Black, destroy effect, potential card draw):
1. Murder

  • Instant, {1}{B}{B}, destroy target creature.
  • No card draw; straightforward equivalent for creature removal.
    2. Tragic Slip
  • Instant, {B}, target creature gets -1/-1 (or -13/-13 if a creature died this turn).
  • Synergizes with creatures dying, but no card draw.
    3. Grim Affliction
  • Instant, {2}{B}, put a -1/-1 counter and proliferate.
  • Removal and potential advantage; no card draw.
    4. Infernal Grasp
  • Instant, {1}{B}, destroy target creature, you lose 2 life.
  • Efficient, simple removal, no card draw.
    5. Eaten Alive
  • Sorcery, {B} (one more mana), additional cost to sacrifice/exile, exile target creature/planeswalker.
  • Exile instead of destroy, not an instant.

No card matches “Chain Assassination” perfectly; Tragic Slip and Infernal Grasp are closest for black instant-speed removal, but neither include the draw clause. Chain Assassination is unique in combining conditional removal and card draw at instant speed.

    Freerunning

    Rules

  • If the target creature is a legal target but isn’t destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, you’ll still draw a card if another creature died this turn.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Chain Assassination tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card even if another creature has died this turn.
  • Once an Assassin creature or commander you control deals combat damage to a player in a turn, you can cast spells for their freerunning costs for the rest of that turn. It doesn’t matter what happens to that Assassin or commander after that.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Proliferate

    Rules

  • You may choose the creature you put the -1/-1 counter on to get another -1/-1 counter when proliferating.
  • An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.
  • If a permanent ever has both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it at the same time, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.
  • If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
  • Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.
  • To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
  • You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
