"Find me cards equivalent to: Karai's Technique"

Equivalent cards to Karai's Technique (Sorcery, Black/White, dual-choice with pump/shrink) are:
1. Blessed Alliance (White, instant, similar mode choice, includes pump and removal)
2. Profane Command (Black, sorcery, choice of effects, includes pump and shrink)
3. Orzhov Charm (Black/White, instant, mode choice including creature removal and creature return)
4. Kolaghan's Command (Black/Red, not BW, but similar multi-modal effect)
5. Karai's Technique (your searched card, most exact for B/W pump/shrink on same card)


Reason: Very few cards let you choose both a pump and a shrink at once in BW, but any modal cards with removal and pump in these colors are close in effect.

    Escalate

    Rules

  • Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.
  • Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.
  • If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.
  • If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.
  • If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
  • The targeted opponent chooses which of their attacking creatures to sacrifice, not you.
  • Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t cause it to be removed from combat.
  • You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.
  • You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.

    Sneak

    Rules

  • Although a creature put onto the battlefield this way is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when that creature enters attacking.
  • If a creature spell's sneak cost was paid, the creature it becomes enters tapped and attacking the same player, planeswalker, or battle as the creature that was returned to its owner's hand to pay its sneak cost. This is a rule specific to sneak; in other cases, when a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, that creature's controller chooses which player, planeswalker, or battle it's attacking.
  • Spells can only be cast for their sneak costs any time you could play an instant during the declare blockers step on your turn (after your opponent has decided whether to block).

    Rules

  • As the spell resolves, follow the instructions of the modes you chose in the order they are printed on the card. For example, if you chose the second and fourth modes of Ojutai's Command, you would gain 4 life and then draw a card. (The order won't matter in most cases.)
  • If a Command is copied, the effect that creates the copy will usually allow you to choose new targets for the copy, but you can't choose new modes.
  • If all targets for the chosen modes become illegal before the Command resolves, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. If at least one target is still legal, the spell will resolve but will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • You can choose a mode only if you can choose legal targets for that mode. Ignore the targeting requirements for modes that aren't chosen. For example, you can cast Ojutai's Command without targeting a creature spell provided you don't choose the third mode.
  • You choose the two modes as you cast the spell. You must choose two different modes. Once modes are chosen, they can't be changed.

    Rules

  • For each of the modes, if the target creature or creature card is an illegal target when Orzhov Charm tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • If you choose the first mode, any Aura controlled by another player attached to the creature will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action after the creature leaves the battlefield.
  • If you choose the second mode, you’ll lose life equal to the creature’s toughness when it was last on the battlefield.
  • Orzhov Charm’s first mode doesn’t target any of the Auras attached to the target creature.
  • If you choose the second mode, and Orzhov Charm resolves but the creature isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or it regenerates), you’ll still lose life equal to the creature’s toughness.
