"Find me cards equivalent to: Necrotic Hex"

Equivalent cards to Necrotic Hex (type: Sorcery, color: Black, mass sacrifice + token creation) include:
1. Phyrexian Purge – Each player can sacrifice creatures, but does not create tokens.
2. Grave Pact – Triggers on creature death, not a sorcery, not an exact match.
3. Army of the Damned – Sorcery, creates zombie tokens, but doesn’t force sacrifices.
4. Decree of Pain – Destroys all creatures, you draw cards per destroyed, not tokens.
5. Necrotic Hex (your original search).

Closest alternative: Army of the Damned for mass zombie token creation; no other black sorcery does both mass sacrifice and mass token creation exactly like Necrotic Hex.

Reason: Necrotic Hex is uniquely both a symmetrical mass-sacrifice and token generator in black.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

    Cycling

    Rules

  • The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve, and you'll draw a card.
  • When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Grave Pact's ability will trigger that many times.
  • If two players each control a Grave Pact and a creature controlled by one of those players dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of that player's Grave Pact will trigger, causing each other player to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Grave Pact to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Grave Pact and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each other player will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, when a creature you control dies, Grave Pact's triggered ability will cause each other player, including your teammate, to sacrifice a creature. Grave Pact's ability won't trigger when a creature your teammate controls dies.
  • None of the players are targeted. A player with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if it isn't your turn) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Rules

  • Let's say everyone controls lots of creatures. As Necrotc Hex resolves, first the player whose turn it is (likely you) chooses which six creatures they'll sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices of players before them. Then all creatures are sacrificed simultaneously. Finally, you'll create the six tapped Zombies.
  • You'll create six tapped Zombies no matter how many creatures you sacrifice.
