"Find me cards equivalent to: Seize the Initiative"

Equivalent cards to Seize the Initiative (Instant, White, gives +1/+1 and first strike):
1. Ajani's Presence – Gives +1/+1 and indestructible, instant speed.
2. Pressure Point – Not a perfect match, gives similar pump but taps a creature.
3. Feat of Resistance – Gives +1/+1, and protection instead of first strike.
4. Surge of Light – +2/+2 instead, conditional.

No exact equivalents with only +1/+1 and first strike. Closest is Ajani's Presence for similar instant-pump, or Feat of Resistance for instant +1/+1 with extra upside.

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability allows you to cast a strive spell without paying its mana cost, you must pay the additional costs for any targets beyond the first.
  • If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. If one or more of its targets are legal when it tries to resolve, the spell will resolve and affect only those legal targets. It will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • If such a spell is copied, and the effect that copies the spell allows a player to choose new targets for the copy, the number of targets can't be changed. The player may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, the player can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
  • The mana cost and mana value of strive spells don't change no matter how many targets they have. Strive abilities affect only what you pay.
  • You choose how many targets each spell with a strive ability has and what those targets are as you cast it. It's legal to cast such a spell with no targets, although this is rarely a good idea. You can't choose the same target more than once for a single strive spell.

  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Pressure Point tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't draw a card. If the target is legal but doesn't become tapped (most likely because it's already tapped), you do draw a card.
