"Find me cards equivalent to: Tainted Strike"

Equivalent cards to Tainted Strike in black (color='B'), Instant, that grant infect and/or a similar effect are very limited. Tainted Strike is unique in black for granting infect. Closest cards (though not exact):

  • Virulent Swipe (Instant, black): Target creature gets +2/+0 and gains deathtouch until end of turn. Not infect, but somewhat similar power boost and death-related mechanic.
  • Tainted Strike itself is the primary black instant granting infect.


Reason: Black has only Tainted Strike that gives infect at instant speed. Infect is rare outside of green and black, and instant-speed infect granting is almost exclusive to this card.

    Poison Counter

    Rules

  • A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.
  • Damage from a source with infect affects planeswalkers normally.
  • Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.
  • If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn’t get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn’t get -1/-1 counters.
  • Infect’s effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.
  • The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rebound

    Rules

  • At the beginning of your upkeep, all delayed triggered abilities created by rebound effects trigger. You may handle them in any order. If you want to cast a card this way, you do so as part of the resolution of its delayed triggered ability. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type (if it’s a sorcery) are ignored. Other restrictions are not (such as the one from Rule of Law).
  • If a replacement effect would cause a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand to be put somewhere else instead of your graveyard (such as Leyline of the Void might), you choose whether to apply the rebound effect or the other effect as the spell resolves.
  • If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand doesn’t resolve for any reason (due being countered by a spell like Cancel, or because all of its targets are illegal), rebound has no effect. The spell is simply put into your graveyard. You won’t get to cast it again next turn.
  • If you are unable to cast a card from exile this way, or you choose not to, nothing happens when the delayed triggered ability resolves. The card remains exiled for the rest of the game, and you won’t get another chance to cast the card. The same is true if the ability is countered (due to Stifle, perhaps).
  • If you cast a card from exile this way, it will go to your graveyard when it resolves, fails to resolve, or is countered. It won’t go back to exile.
  • If you cast a spell with rebound from anywhere other than your hand (such as from your graveyard due to Sins of the Past, from your library due to cascade, or from your opponent’s hand due to Sen Triplets), rebound won’t have any effect. If you do cast it from your hand, rebound will work regardless of whether you paid its mana cost (for example, if you cast it from your hand due to Maelstrom Archangel).
  • If you cast a spell with rebound from your hand and it resolves, it isn’t put into your graveyard. Rather, it’s exiled directly from the stack. Effects that care about cards being put into your graveyard won’t do anything.
  • Rebound will have no effect on copies of spells because you don’t cast them from your hand.
