"Find me cards equivalent to: Ambush"

Equivalent options to Ambush (R, Instant, blocking creatures gain first strike):
1. Roar of Battle – 2R, Instant, Blocking creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn. (similar effect, but slightly more expensive)
2. First Strike (not a real card, but you can look at Rush of Battle or Hold the Line for similar ideas, though both are white).

There are very few red instants that grant first strike specifically to blocking creatures. Ambush remains quite unique in mono-red. Most first strike effects in red target attacking or all creatures, not just blockers.
