"Find me cards equivalent to: Saw in Half"

Equivalent cards to Saw in Half (Black, Instant, interacts with creatures, creates tokens as copies):
1. Unexpected Fangs – Not equivalent (gives counters, not destruction/copying).
2. Minion's Murmurs – Not equivalent (card draw).
3. Closest alternatives:

  • Rite of Replication (Blue Sorcery, creates copies but not Black or Instant).
  • Mimeofacture (Blue Sorcery, not Black or Instant).

Conclusion:
There are no direct equivalents to Saw in Half in Black Instant form that destroy a creature and create token copies. Most Black instants that destroy creatures (e.g., Go for the Throat, Doom Blade) don't create tokens. The unique copy-plus-destroy effect is mostly exclusive to Saw in Half.

    Replicate (When you cast this spell, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.) Choose target permanent an opponent controls. Search that player's library for a card with the same name and put it onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
  • "Kicker [cost]" means "You may pay an additional [cost] as you cast this spell."
  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the creature will also work.
  • If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the copied creature is a token, the tokens created copy the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token.
  • If the copied creature is copying something else, then the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.
  • The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that permanent is itself copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

    Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.) Create a token that's a copy of target creature. If this spell was kicked, create five of those tokens instead.

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the tokens enter the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the copied creature will also work.
  • Except for power and toughness, the tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature was copying something else or it's a token; see below). They don't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, and so on.
  • If the copied creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the copied creature was a token, the new tokens copy the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created the token, with the listed exceptions.
  • If the copied creature was copying something else, then the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that creature copied, with the listed exceptions.
  • If the creature isn't destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible), its controller doesn't create any tokens. The same is true if the creature is destroyed but instead of going to its owner's graveyard, a replacement effect moves it elsewhere, such as exile.
  • If the original creature had a characteristic-defining ability that determined its power and/or toughness, that ability is not copied.
  • Use the power and toughness of the creature from when it was last on the battlefield to determine the power and toughness of the tokens.

    Destroy target creature. If that creature dies this way, its controller creates two tokens that are copies of that creature, except their power is half that creature's power and their toughness is half that creature's toughness. Round up each time.
