"Find me cards equivalent to: Parasitic Impetus"

Equivalent cards to Parasitic Impetus (black, Enchantment — Aura, goading and life drain) are rare, but here are a couple with similar mechanics:
1. Hound of the Farbogs (not an Aura, but Menace and Delirium drain): Not quite the same, just for comparison.
2. Dead Man's Chest (Black, Aura, attaches to opponent's creature, triggers on death): Similar but exiles cards, not goad.
3. Dreadful Apathy (White, Aura, disables then exiles a creature): Similar removal Aura, wrong color.

Summary: There are no perfect black Auras that grant +2/+2 and goad while draining life like Parasitic Impetus. The goad+life drain+black Aura combination is unique to Parasitic Impetus. Closest in effect, but not perfect matches, are Dead Man's Chest, or, for the goad in black, just Parasitic Impetus itself.


Reason: Goad is mainly a red effect; lifedrain is black, the combination on Auras as in Parasitic Impetus is unique.

    Rules

  • Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • If Dead Man's Chest and the enchanted creature are both put into graveyards at the same time, the last ability of Dead Man's Chest still triggers.
  • If you gain control of the enchanted creature, Dead Man's Chest will be put into your graveyard.
  • In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any spells or permanents you control from Dead Man's Chest's ability are exiled.
  • The effect of Dead Man's Chest doesn't change when you can cast the exiled cards. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • To determine how many cards to exile, use the enchanted creature's power as it last existed on the battlefield.
  • You are a creature's owner if the card representing it began the game in your deck, or if it's a token that entered the battlefield under your control. If Dead Man's Chest enchants a creature that you own but an opponent controls, you'll exile cards from your library.

    Rules

  • Because you consider only the characteristics of a double-faced card's front face while it's not on the battlefield, the types of its back face won't be counted for delirium.
  • In some rare cases, you can have a token or a copy of a spell in your graveyard at the moment that an object's delirium ability counts the card types among cards in your graveyard, before that token or copy ceases to exist. Because tokens and copies of spells are not cards, even if they are copies of cards, their types will never be counted.
  • Menace only matters as blockers are chosen. Causing Hound of the Farbogs to gain menace after blockers are chosen won't cause it to become unblocked.
  • The card types in Magic are artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, instant, kindred, land, planeswalker, and sorcery. Supertypes (such as legendary and basic) and subtypes (such as Human and Equipment) are not counted.
  • The number of card types matters, not the number of cards. For example, Wicker Witch (an artifact creature) along with Catalog (an instant) and Chaplain's Blessing (a sorcery) will enable delirium.

    Enchant Goad

    Rules

  • If you are the attacking creature's controller, you lose 2 life and gain 2 life. You won't lose the game if your life total is 0 in between these two events.
  • Parasitic Impetus causes you to gain life, not the attacking creature's controller.
  • Attacking with a goaded creature doesn't cause it to stop being goaded. If there is an additional combat phase that turn, or if another player gains control of it before it stops being goaded, it must attack again if able.
  • Being goaded isn't an ability the creature has. Once it's been goaded, it must attack as detailed above even if it loses all abilities.
  • If a creature you control has been goaded by multiple opponents, it must attack one of your opponents that hasn't goaded it, as that fulfills the maximum number of goad requirements. If a creature you control has been goaded by each of your opponents, the creature must attack an opponent (rather than a planeswalker or battle), but you choose which opponent it attacks.
  • If the creature doesn't meet any of the above exceptions and can attack, it must attack a player other than the controller of the spell or ability that goaded it if able. If the creature can't attack any of those players but could otherwise attack, it must attack a planeswalker an opponent controls, a battle an opponent controls, or a player who goaded it.
  • If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature that player controls that's been goaded is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack a player, its controller isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack that player.
