"Find me cards equivalent to: Soul Spike"

Soul Spike is a black instant with an alternate exile cost and lifedrain effect. Closest equivalents:
1. Snuff Out — Black instant, alternate cost (exile/swamp), but only destroys a nonblack creature. No direct damage/life gain.
2. Sickening Shoal — Black instant, alternate exile cost, gives -X/-X to a creature.
3. Contagion — Black instant, alternate exile cost (exile two black cards or pay 2 life), gives -2/-1 in -1/-1 counters to creatures.


Reason: There are no other black instants that deal damage to any target and can be cast for a similar exile-two-cards cost, but these all share the exile-to-cast mechanic and are black instants.

  • If you don’t have two cards of the right color in your hand, you can’t choose to cast the spell using the alternative cost.
  • You can’t exile a card from your hand to pay for itself. At the time you would pay costs, that card is on the stack, not in your hand.
  • You may pay the alternative cost rather than the card’s mana cost. Any additional costs are paid as normal.
