"Find me cards equivalent to: Retribution of the Ancients"

Here are some similar cards to Retribution of the Ancients (enchantment, black, interacts with +1/+1 counters and gives -X/-X):
1. Power Conduit - Colorless artifact; lets you move counters around, less direct removal.
2. Necroskitter - Creature; cares about -1/-1 counters and creatures dying.
3. Carnifex Demon - Black creature; removes +1/+1 counters to give creatures -1/-1.
4. Hex Parasite - Artifacts, lets you remove counters from permanents, not just +1/+1.
5. Nest of Scarabs - Black enchantment; generates tokens when you put -1/-1 counters.

Closest equivalent effect to Retribution of the Ancients: Carnifex Demon and Hex Parasite, but neither is an enchantment. There's no direct black enchantment with exactly the same effect, but these are functionally related.
