"Find me cards equivalent to: Shelob's Ambush"

Here are cards similar to Shelob's Ambush in black (color='B'), instant speed, with deathtouch or a combat boost and possibly extra value:
1. Price of Fame – Instant, black, deathtouch enabling (destroys a creature), but no creature pump or token.
2. Deadly Allure – Gives deathtouch, instant, black, but requires flashback, no pump or token.
3. Village Rites – Instant, black, creates value (draw cards) but doesn’t boost or give deathtouch.
4. Moment of Craving – Instant, black, gives -2/-2 but not a pump; you gain 2 life instead of making Food.
5. Infernal Grasp – Instant, black, destroys creature, closest to removal but not a combat trick.

None do the exact same as Shelob's Ambush, but Deadly Allure and Village Rites are the closest in color and utility, trading off Food/token creation for card draw or flashback. No other standard black instant provides all three: pump, deathtouch, and a token.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • If the target creature is attacking, the defending player must assign at least one blocker to it during the declare blockers step if that player controls any creatures that could block it.
  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Moment of Craving tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't gain 2 life.
  • The target creature will still be on the battlefield when you gain life, even if its toughness has been reduced to 0 or less. Any abilities it has that interact with gaining life do so as appropriate. If any abilities trigger on you gaining life, the creature will be put into its owner's graveyard after that ability triggers but before it resolves.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • Price of Fame can target a creature that's indestructible. It won't be destroyed, but you'll surveil.
  • Price of Fame's mana value is 4, even if it costs {2} less to cast.
  • You'll surveil before resolving any abilities that trigger on the target creature dying.
  • Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.
