"Find me cards equivalent to: Saw in Half"

Equivalent cards to Saw in Half (black Instants that destroy creatures and create tokens with modified stats) are very rare. However, here are some cards with similar attributes (black, instant, destroy, and possible token creation):
1. Saw in Half (your search card)
2. Doom Blade

  • Destroy target nonblack creature.

  • Reason: Same color, instant, creature destruction, but no token creation.
    3. Tragic Slip
  • Target creature gets -1/-1, or -13/-13 if a creature died this turn.

  • Reason: Same color, instant, creature kill, no tokens.
    4. Deadly Brew
  • Each player sacrifices a creature or planeswalker; then you return a permanent from your graveyard to your hand.

  • Reason: Slight board interaction, but not as close.
    5. Ghastly Demise
  • Destroy target nonblack creature if you have threshold.

  • Reason: Removal, no tokens.
    6. Corpseweft (enchantment, not instant)
  • Exile creature cards to make zombie tokens.

  • Reason: Closest in effect, but not instant.

Summary:
No black instant does exactly what Saw in Half does. Saw in Half is unique for its destroy & token-creation effect at Instant speed. Other black instants tend to simply destroy creatures without the token copy clause.

  • Because exiling the creature cards from your graveyard is part of the activation cost, no player can respond to stop you from activating the ability by moving creature cards out of your graveyard.
  • “Exiled this way” refers to that activation of the ability, not any creature cards that have been previously exiled.

  • First the active player chooses which creature or planeswalker they'll sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing choices made before their choice. Then all those permanents are sacrificed simultaneously.
  • If you cast Deadly Brew and control any creatures or planeswalkers as it resolves, you must sacrifice one of them.
  • You cannot return the same permanent card that you sacrificed.
  • You choose which permanent card you're returning to your hand, if any, as Deadly Brew resolves, after permanents are sacrificed.

  • Because Ghastly Demise isn't put into your graveyard until it's finished resolving, it won't be counted when determining whether the creature is destroyed.
  • Ghastly Demise can target any nonblack creature. Compare the creature's toughness to the number of cards in your graveyard as Ghastly Demise resolves to see if that creature is destroyed.

    Rules

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the tokens enter the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the copied creature will also work.
  • Except for power and toughness, the tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature was copying something else or it's a token; see below). They don't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, and so on.
  • If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the copied creature was a token, the new tokens copy the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created the token, with the listed exceptions.
  • If the copied creature was copying something else, then the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the listed exceptions.
  • If the creature isn't destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible), its controller doesn't create any tokens. The same is true if the creature is destroyed but instead of going to its owner's graveyard, a replacement effect moves it elsewhere, such as exile.
  • If the original creature had a characteristic-defining ability that determined its power and/or toughness, that ability is not copied.
  • Use the power and toughness of the creature from when it was last on the battlefield to determine the power and toughness of the tokens.

    Destroy target creature. If that creature dies this way, its controller creates two tokens that are copies of that creature, except their power is half that creature's power and their toughness is half that creature's toughness. Round up each time.
