"Find me cards equivalent to: Ancient Animus"

Equivalent green instants that involve +1/+1 counters and fighting include:
1. Prey Upon — Fight effect, but no +1/+1 counter.
2. Rabid Bite — Creature you control deals damage, but doesn't fight or add +1/+1 counters.
3. Epic Confrontation — Fight effect and +1/+1 counter (if it's legendary) is closest; deals damage equal to power, gives +1/+1 to your creature, but always.
4. Ambuscade — Boosts a creature, deals damage (not a true fight), and instant speed.

Closest equivalent:

  • Epic Confrontation is the nearest, but it's a sorcery. Ancient Animus is unique at instant speed for green.


Reason: Green usually gets fight/removal at sorcery speed or without legendary synergy.

  • If either target is an illegal target as Ancient Animus tries to resolve, neither creature will deal or be dealt damage.
  • If the creature you control is an illegal target as Ancient Animus tries to resolve, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it. If that creature is a legal target but the creature you don't control isn't, you'll still put the counter on the creature you control if it's legendary.
  • The creature you control doesn't have to be legendary. It simply won't receive a +1/+1 counter before it fights if it isn't legendary.
  • You can't cast Ancient Animus unless you choose both a creature you control and a creature you don't control as targets.
