"Find me cards equivalent to: Hired Claw"

Here are cards equivalent to Hired Claw (red Lizards or similar abilities):
1. Chandra's Spitfire – Also deals damage based on opponent losing life.
2. Skewer the Critics – Synergy with opponent losing life for cheaper casting (though not a creature, still relevant ability).
3. Fireblade Charger – Has an attack synergy and is red.
4. Akoum Warrior – A red Lizard with attack synergy (though less direct).
5. Hired Claw – Baseline for comparison.

    Spectacle

    Rules

  • A card's spectacle cost is the same no matter how much life your opponents lost or how many opponents lost life.
  • Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.
  • In a multiplayer game, if an opponent loses life and later that turn leaves the game, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost. (If a player leaves the game during their turn, that turn continues without an active player.)
  • Spectacle cares only that an opponent lost life during the turn, not that the opponent's life total is currently lower than it was. For example, if an opponent loses 1 life and then gains 2 life in the same turn, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost that turn.
  • Spectacle doesn't change when you can cast the spell. For example, you can't cast a sorcery with spectacle during an opponent's turn unless another effect allows you to do so, even if that player has lost life this turn.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a spectacle cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
