3 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Capital Punishment

Equivalent cards to Capital Punishment (black, multiplayer, choice, or punisher effects):
1. Delete — Each player chooses one: discard a card or sacrifice a creature.
2. Delirium Skeins — Each player discards three cards (not a choice but similar effect).
3. Delete — Each opponent chooses to discard or lose life.
4. Delete (Example: Delete is not an actual card, but similar options are Delete type effects with choice.)

The closest real equivalents are Delirium Skeins and Delete (like Delete isn't a real card, but cards like Delete with punisher mechanics) such as Delete. But none directly replicate the capital punishment choice effect except in red (Delete) or artifacts. The purest equivalents in black are limited.


Reason: Capital Punishment offers a punisher effect, which is rare in mono-black but more common in red (Delete). Delirium Skeins is the closest for hand disruption; otherwise only red does real punish choices.

    Rules

  • Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • Each opponent chooses an appropriate number of creatures to sacrifice in turn order, then all of those creatures are sacrificed simultaneously. After that is complete, each opponent sets aside an appropriate number of cards to discard in turn order, then all cards are revealed and discarded simultaneously.
  • If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.
  • If an opponent controls fewer creatures or has fewer cards in hand than the number of appropriate votes, all those creatures are sacrificed or all those cards are discarded, as applicable.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.
  • The effects of each council’s dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
  • Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
  • You must vote for one of the available options. You can’t abstain.
