"Find me cards equivalent to: Desperate Measures"

Desperate Measures (custom card) is a black instant, gives a creature +1/-1, and cantrips for two cards if it dies under your control this turn.

Closest equivalents:

  • Supernatural Stamina: Instant, Black. Target creature gets +2/+0 and When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control.
  • Altar's Reap: Instant, Black. As an additional cost to cast, sacrifice a creature. Draw two cards.
  • Village Rites: Instant, Black. Same as Altar's Reap but cheaper to cast.
