"Find me cards equivalent to: Withering Boon"

Here are some cards similar to Withering Boon:
1. Withering Boon — Black, Instant, counter creature, pay 3 life.

Closest equivalents in mono-black:

  • Dash Hopes — Black, Instant, forces opponent to pay 5 life or counter a spell (not limited to creatures).
  • Imp's Mischief — Black, Instant, pay life and redirect a spell (not a counterspell, but similar interaction).
  • Mana Tithe has a similar ability, but is white.


Reason: True hard creature counters are extremely rare in black. Withering Boon is unique, but Dash Hopes and Imp's Mischief are the closest mono-black spells that disrupt spells at instant speed.

  • As the triggered ability resolves, the active player gets the option to perform the action. If that player declines, the next player in turn order gets the option. As soon as any player performs the action, the spell is countered, but the remaining players still get the option. If all players decline, the spell remains on the stack.
  • When this spell is cast, its “when you cast” ability triggers and goes on the stack on top of it.
  • A player can’t choose to pay 5 life unless they actually have 5 or more life to pay.

    Rules

  • If there is no other legal target for the spell, this does not change the target.
  • Once the spell resolves, the new target is considered to be targeted by the deflected spell. This will trigger any effects which trigger on being targeted.
  • The target of a spell that targets another spell on the stack can be changed to any other spell on the stack, even if the new target will resolve before the spell does.
  • This does not check if the current target is legal. It just checks if the spell has a single target.
  • This only targets the spell being changed, not the original or new target of the spell it is affecting.
  • You can choose to make a spell on the stack target this spell (if such a target choice would be legal had the spell been cast while this spell was on the stack). The new target for the deflected spell is not chosen until this spell resolves. This spell is still on the stack when new targets are selected for the spell.
  • You can't make a spell which is on the stack target itself.
  • You choose the spell to target on announcement, but you pick the new target for that spell on resolution.
  • If a spell targets multiple things, you can't target it with Imp's Mischief, even if all but one of those targets have become illegal.
  • You don't choose the new target for the spell until Imp's Mischief resolves. You must change the target if possible. However, you can't change the target to an illegal target. If there are no legal targets to choose from, the target isn't changed. It doesn't matter if the original target has somehow become illegal itself.
