"Find me cards equivalent to: Gideon's Sacrifice"

Equivalent cards to Gideon's Sacrifice (White, Instant, damage redirection/protection):
1. Martyr's Cause — Sacrifice a creature: Prevent all damage to a creature or player from one source.
2. Divine Deflection — Prevent the next X damage to you or permanents you control and deal it to another target.
3. Selfless Spirit — Can sacrifice to give all creatures indestructible (not the same, but protective).
4. Faith's Shield — Target permanent/you gain protection from chosen color.
5. Graceful Reprieve — Returns creature if it would die (not redirection, but serves a similar protective purpose).

All of these cards are white instants or function at instant speed and aim to protect you or your permanents, but none redirect damage in exactly the same way as Gideon's Sacrifice. Divine Deflection is the closest functional equivalent.

    Rules

  • Divine Deflection can prevent damage from multiple sources dealing damage simultaneously (such as during combat). If the chosen value for X won’t prevent all the damage, you choose which sources to prevent damage from.
  • Divine Deflection can prevent damage that would be dealt to you, one or more creatures you control, and/or one or more planeswalkers you control.
  • Divine Deflection’s effect is not a redirection effect. If it prevents damage, Divine Deflection (not the original source) deals damage to the targeted permanent or player as part of that prevention effect. Divine Deflection is the source of the new damage, so the characteristics of the original source (such as its color, or whether it had lifelink or deathtouch) don’t affect this damage. The new damage is not combat damage, even if the prevented damage was.
  • Divine Deflection’s only target is the permanent or player it may deal damage to. You choose that target as you cast Divine Deflection, not at the time it prevents damage.
  • If Divine Deflection can’t deal damage to the targeted permanent or player (because the creature is no longer on the battlefield, or is no longer a creature, or the player is no longer in the game, for example), it will still prevent damage. It just won’t deal any damage itself.
  • If Divine Deflection prevents damage, excess damage (if any) dealt by that source is dealt at the same time. Immediately afterward, as part of that same prevention effect, Divine Deflection deals its damage. This happens before state-based actions are checked, and before the spell or ability that caused damage to be dealt resumes its resolution.
  • If damage is dealt to multiple permanents you control, or is dealt to you and at least one permanent you control, you choose which of that damage to prevent if the chosen value for X won’t prevent all the damage. For example, if 3 damage would be dealt to you and to each of two creatures you control, and Divine Deflection will prevent the next 3 damage, you might choose to prevent the next 2 damage it would deal to you and the next 1 damage it would deal to one of the creatures, among other choices. You don’t decide until the point at which the damage would be dealt.
  • If the targeted permanent or player is an illegal target by the time Divine Deflection resolves, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. No damage will be prevented.
  • Whether the targeted permanent or player is still a legal target is not checked after Divine Deflection resolves. For example, if a creature targeted by Divine Deflection gains shroud after Divine Deflection resolves, Divine Deflection can still deal damage to that creature.

    Prevent the next X damage that would be dealt to you and/or permanents you control this turn. If damage is prevented this way, Divine Deflection deals that much damage to any target.

    Rules

  • A player with protection from a color can’t be damaged, enchanted (including by Curses), or targeted by anything of that color.
  • Faith’s Shield targets a permanent regardless of how much life you have. If that permanent is an illegal target when Faith’s Shield tries to resolve, Faith’s Shield won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. Neither you nor any of your permanents will gain protection from a color.
  • You choose only one color (not one color per player and permanent). You choose the color as Faith’s Shield resolves.

    Rules

  • Gideon's Sacrifice doesn't change the source of the damage or whether the damage is combat damage.
  • Gideon's Sacrifice has no effect on damage already dealt earlier in the turn.
  • If the chosen creature or planeswalker isn't on the battlefield or isn't a creature or planeswalker at the time damage would be dealt, the damage won't be redirected.
  • If you cast more than one Gideon's Sacrifice in one turn, all damage that would be dealt at once to you and/or permanents you control is dealt to one of the chosen permanents of your choice. It's not dealt to all of them, and you can't split the damage between them. The next time damage would be dealt to you, you may choose a different one of those permanents to be dealt that damage.
  • If you control no creatures or planeswalkers as Gideon's Sacrifice resolves, nothing happens. The damage redirection effect won't be able to be applied to any damage events.
  • More damage can be redirected to the chosen creature than it has toughness or to the chosen planeswalker than it has loyalty, as long as that damage is all dealt at once (like combat damage is) or is all dealt while a single spell or ability is resolving.

    Rules

  • Graceful Reprieve can target a token creature, but since tokens cease to exist after they leave the battlefield, it won’t be returned to the battlefield.
  • Graceful Reprieve’s effect works only once. If the targeted creature leaves the battlefield and is then returned to the battlefield, it’s considered to be a new creature. If that new creature is put into a graveyard, it won’t come back a second time.
