"Find me cards equivalent to: Despair"

Equivalent cards to Despair (type: Sorcery, color: Black, discard effect, combat/damage trigger):
1. Cry of Contrition: Sorcery, B, discard, can be cast from graveyard via haunt.
2. Liliana's Triumph: Sorcery, 1B, opponent discards, but not after combat—it’s instant and no aftermath.
3. Raiders' Wake: Not a sorcery, but triggers on attack and causes discard.
4. Duress: Sorcery, B, but only single discard, no combat trigger or aftermath.
5. Collective Brutality: Sorcery, 1B, discard, but no aftermath.

Closest equivalent from these options is Cry of Contrition, as it has a discard effect and a graveyard-related mechanic (haunt), though not identical in function to aftermath or combat damage trigger. Despair is unique—no exact match, but these share mechanics/theme.

    Escalate

    Rules

  • Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.
  • Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.
  • If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.
  • If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.
  • If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
  • You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.
  • You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.

    Rules

  • Controlling more than one planeswalker of the appropriate type won't have any more of a benefit than just controlling one.
  • Whether you control an appropriate planeswalker is checked only as the spell resolves.
  • As Liliana's Triumph resolves, the opponent whose turn it is (or, if it's your turn, the next opponent in turn order) chooses a creature to sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time. Then, if you control a Liliana planeswalker, in the same order, each opponent chooses a card in their hand without revealing it, and those cards are discarded at the same time.
  • You can cast Liliana's Triumph even if some or all of your opponents will be unable to sacrifice a creature. If you control a Liliana planeswalker, they'll still discard a card, even if they couldn't sacrifice a creature.

    Rules

  • Raid abilities care only that you attacked with a creature. It doesn't matter how many creatures you attacked with or which player, planeswalker, or battle those creatures attacked.
  • Raid abilities evaluate the entire turn to see if you attacked with a creature. That creature doesn't have to still be on the battlefield. Similarly, the player, planeswalker, or battle it attacked doesn't have to still be in the game or on the battlefield.
  • Some raid abilities trigger at the beginning of your end step. These abilities trigger if you attacked with a creature that turn, even if the permanent with that raid ability wasn't on the battlefield when you attacked.
