"Find me cards equivalent to: Join the Dead"

Equivalent cards (Instant, Black, creature gets -5/-5 or more):

  • Join the Dead (reference card)
  • Infernal Reckoning — Exile target colorless creature, gain life equal to its power.
  • Murderous Cut — Destroy target creature, delve makes it cheaper, but is a single-target removal.
  • Tragic Slip — Target creature gets -1/-1, but with morbid -13/-13 instead.
  • Defile — Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is number of Swamps you control.
  • Grasp of Darkness — Target creature gets -4/-4, instant speed.


Reason: Best matches are Tragic Slip (scalable -13/-13 with grave-based condition) and Defile (scales with board, still instant, still black). All listed fit black, instant-speed, big stat reduction/removal.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Cards with the ability word "descend N" have abilities that care if you have at least N permanent cards in your graveyard.
  • Some descend triggered abilities include intervening "if" clauses (i.e. "if you have [four or eight] permanent cards in your graveyard" in the middle of the ability). Each of these abilities checks your graveyard at the moment it would trigger to see if it does. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability doesn't trigger at all. If it does trigger, it will check again as it tries to resolve. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.
