"Find me cards equivalent to: Punishing Fire"

Here are cards similar to Punishing Fire that are red instants dealing 2 (or similar) damage:
1. Lightning Bolt

  • Instant, {R}, Lightning Bolt deals 3 damage to any target.

  • Reason: Deals damage efficiently at instant speed.
    2. Shock
  • Instant, {R}, Shock deals 2 damage to any target.

  • Reason: Same cost, same speed, same effect without the graveyard ability.
    3. Galvanic Blast
  • Instant, {R}, Galvanic Blast deals 2 damage to any target. Metalcraft — If you control three or more artifacts, Galvanic Blast deals 4 damage instead.

  • Reason: Instant red burn with an upside.
    4. Magmatic Sinkhole
  • Instant, {5}{R}, Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for {1}.) Magmatic Sinkhole deals 5 damage to target creature or planeswalker.

  • Reason: Graveyard interaction, but bigger effect and higher cost.

No other red instants have the exact graveyard recursion tied to life gain, so Punishing Fire remains unique in that respect.

    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.

    Rules

  • If Punishing Fire has left your graveyard by the time its triggered ability resolves, you may still pay {R}, but you won't return it to your hand. This is true even if Punishing Fire has left your graveyard and returned to it by the time its triggered ability resolves.
  • Punishing Fire's triggered ability triggers only if it's already in your graveyard at the time an opponent gains life. For example, you can cast it in response to a spell or ability that will cause an opponent to gain life. In that case, Punishing Fire will resolve first, so it will be in the graveyard by the time the opponent gains life. However, if you wait until an opponent actually gains life and then cast Punishing Fire, you won't be able to return it to your hand at that time.
  • You choose whether to pay {R} as the triggered ability resolves.
