"Find me cards equivalent to: Saw in Half"

Saw in Half is unique in its effect, but here are similar black instants involving destroying creatures or making copies:
1. Tragic Slip — Instant, B, destroys a creature with -1/-1 or -13/-13 if morbid. (Removal.)
2. Go for the Throat — Instant, 1B, destroys a nonartifact creature. (Removal.)
3. Deadly Rollick — Instant, 3B (0 if you control a commander), exile target creature. (Removal.)
4. Rite of Replication (Blue, not black)— create tokens that are copies of a creature. (Copy effect, but not black.)
5. Necromancy — (not an instant) return target creature to battlefield under your control. (Reanimation, black.)

No existing instant is exactly like Saw in Half for both destruction and token copying. The closest in black are removal spells. Saw in Half stands out for its hybrid effect.

    Rules

  • The bringing of the creature onto the battlefield and then putting Necromancy on it is all done as part of the resolution.
  • When putting a card onto the battlefield that requires a definition for its value or some other choice, you do what is needed to define the value or make the choice.
  • Necromancy enters as an enchantment and then becomes an Enchant Creature Aura as a triggered ability upon entering. It follows all the rules for Auras from then on.
  • If the creature card put onto the battlefield has protection from black (or anything that prevents this from legally being attached), this won't be able to attach to it. Then this will go to the graveyard as a state-based action, causing the creature to be sacrificed.
  • The sacrifice occurs only if you cast it using its own ability. If you cast it using some other effect (for example, if another effect allowed you to cast it as though it had flash), then it won't be sacrificed.

    You may cast this spell as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step. When this enchantment enters, if it's on the battlefield, it becomes an Aura with "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Necromancy." Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control and attach this enchantment to it. When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
  • "Kicker [cost]" means "You may pay an additional [cost] as you cast this spell."
  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the creature will also work.
  • If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the copied creature is a token, the tokens created copy the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token.
  • If the copied creature is copying something else, then the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.
  • The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that permanent is itself copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

    Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.) Create a token that's a copy of target creature. If this spell was kicked, create five of those tokens instead.

  • 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.
