6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Ob Nixilis's Cruelty

Equivalent cards (black removal, instant, exiles or kills creatures):

  • Go for the Throat (kills, doesn't exile, nonartifact only)
  • Power Word Kill (kills, doesn't exile, except certain types)
  • Infernal Grasp (kills, doesn't exile, any creature)
  • Eliminate (kills, doesn't exile, CMC ≤ 3)
  • Baleful Mastery (kills or exiles, can hit planeswalkers, has a drawback)


Reason: All are black instants that efficiently remove creatures. Only a few exile like Ob Nixilis's Cruelty. Closest exile variants: Baleful Mastery, but with different upside/downside.

Results:

    Rules

  • If an effect increases or decreases the cost of spells you cast, that cost increase or decrease is applied to the alternative cost you chose to pay. In that case, the cost was still paid for the purposes of the effect, even if you paid more or less for it when it was cast.
  • If you choose to pay one alternative cost, you can't pay any other alternative costs. For example, if an effect lets you cast a "Mastery" spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't also choose to pay its given alternative cost.
  • If you copy a "Mastery" spell and the alternative cost was paid, the copy will resolve as though the cost was paid.
  • In a multiplayer game, you choose which opponent takes the prescribed action as the spell resolves.
  • The mana value of a spell on the stack is determined by its mana cost, not any alternative costs you used to pay for it.
