"Find me cards equivalent to: Blur of Blades"

Cards equivalent to Blur of Blades (Instant, Red, puts a -1/-1 counter and deals damage to controller):
1. Soul-Scar Mage (not an instant, but gives all noncombat damage as -1/-1 counters)
2. Magma Spray (Instant, Red, deals 2 damage to a creature, but exiles if it dies — similar but no counter)
3. Scorching Dragonfire (Instant, Red, 3 damage to creature/planeswalker, exiles — no counter)
4. Puncture Blast (Instant, Red, puts three -1/-1 counters on a creature — no player damage)

No exact match in Red for both effects at instant speed, but Blur of Blades is the closest for this combination. Red usually deals damage or puts counters, rarely both.

It applies to the target creature even if Magma Spray deals no damage to it (due to a prevention effect) or Magma Spray deals damage to a different creature (due to a redirection effect).

    Prowess

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes a source you control to deal noncombat damage to a creature an opponent controls, that damage will be replaced with -1/-1 counters.
  • If an effect causes a creature you control to fight a creature an opponent controls, the damage is dealt simultaneously. For instance, if your 2/2 creature fights an opponent’s 4/4 creature, your creature will be dealt 4 damage and your opponent’s creature will have two -1/-1 counters put on it.
  • If multiple prevention and/or replacement effects are trying to apply to the same damage, the controller of the creature that would be dealt damage chooses the order in which to apply them. As examples, an opponent could choose to apply the effect of Djeru’s Resolve and prevent the damage rather than put -1/-1 counters on it; or an opponent could choose to convert the damage to -1/-1 counters before Insult could double it, and then Insult’s effect won’t apply anymore.
  • Soul-Scar Mage’s effect isn’t a prevention effect. Damage that can’t be prevented will be replaced with -1/-1 counters.

    Prowess If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to a creature an opponent controls, put that many -1/-1 counters on that creature instead.
