"Find me cards equivalent to: Desperate Plea"

Equivalent cards to Desperate Plea (color B, graveyard recursion/destruction):
1. Victimize — Returns two creature cards from your graveyard by sacrificing a creature (no destruction mode, but great recursion).
2. Diabolic Edict — Forces each opponent to sacrifice a creature (single-target destruction, no recursion).
3. Bone Shards — As an additional cost, sacrifice/discard to destroy a creature or planeswalker (destruction, no recursion).
4. Unearth — Returns a creature from graveyard to battlefield (recursion, no destruction).
5. Malakir Rebirth — Returns a dying creature to the battlefield (recursion variant, no destruction).

Desperate Plea is unique by combining both effects, but these are close comparisons.

    Rules

  • As Victimize resolves, you must sacrifice a creature if able. You can't change your mind and choose not to sacrifice anything.
  • If one of the targeted creature cards is an illegal target (for instance, because it has left your graveyard before Victimize resolves), you'll still sacrifice a creature and put the other card onto the battlefield. If both are illegal targets, Victimize won't resolve. You won't sacrifice a creature.
  • The creature you sacrifice isn't chosen until Victimize resolves. You can't return the creature you sacrifice because it will still be on the battlefield at the time targets are chosen.
  • You must choose two targets. You can't cast Victimize targeting only one creature card.
