"Find me cards equivalent to: This Is How It Ends"

Equivalent cards to This Is How It Ends in black that are instants and deal with removing creatures or giving opponents a bad choice:
1. Baleful Mastery — Instant, black, exiles a creature or planeswalker; opponent may draw a card (villainous choice aspect).
2. Deadly Rollick — Instant, black, exiles a creature (free if you control a commander).
3. Malicious Affliction — Instant, black, destroys target nonblack creature (can copy if something died).
4. Hero's Downfall — Instant, black, destroys target creature or planeswalker.

Reason: All are black instants that remove creatures, with Baleful Mastery being closest due to its forced choice for the opponent.

  • If an effect increases or decreases the cost of spells you cast, that cost increase or decrease is applied to the alternative cost you chose to pay. In that case, the cost was still paid for the purposes of the effect, even if you paid more or less for it when it was cast.
  • If you choose to pay one alternative cost, you can't pay any other alternative costs. For example, if an effect lets you cast a "Mastery" spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't also choose to pay its given alternative cost.
  • If you copy a "Mastery" spell and the alternative cost was paid, the copy will resolve as though the cost was paid.
  • In a multiplayer game, you choose which opponent takes the prescribed action as the spell resolves.
  • The mana value of a spell on the stack is determined by its mana cost, not any alternative costs you used to pay for it.

  • It doesn't matter whose commander you control. Any one will do. If you have two commanders, you just need to control one of them.
  • Once you begin casting this spell, players can't take any other actions until you're done casting it. Notably, they can't try to remove the commander you control to make you pay its cost.

  • The copy of Malicious Affliction is created on the stack. It’s not cast, so the copy won’t cause the morbid ability to trigger again.
  • The copy will have the same target as the original spell unless you choose a new one. You don’t have to change this target if you don’t want to or can’t choose a new legal target (perhaps because there are no other nonblack creatures on the battlefield).

    Rules

  • A player facing a villainous choice can always choose either option, even if one or both of the options are impossible. For example, if one of the options is to sacrifice a creature, a player who controls no creatures can still choose that option.
  • If a spell or ability requires multiple players to face a villainous choice, the result is a little different from other effects in Magic. In that case, the first player in turn order makes their choice and the action for that choice is performed before the next player makes their choice. Then each of the remaining players repeat this process in turn order.
  • When a player faces a villainous choice, they first choose one of the two options, then all actions in the chosen option are performed.
