"Find me cards equivalent to: Chain Assassination"

Cards equivalent to Chain Assassination (instant, black, destroy creature, and potential card draw):

  • Go for the Throat – Instant, destroys a nonartifact creature.
  • Infernal Grasp – Instant, destroys any creature, slight drawback (life loss).
  • Hero's Downfall – Instant, destroys creature or planeswalker.
  • Murderous Cut – Instant, destroys a creature, has delve to reduce cost.
  • Tragic Slip – Instant, can destroy a creature if another died this turn, with Morbid (card draw not included).


Reason: These are all black instant-speed removal spells, with some (like Tragic Slip) having synergy with creatures dying, similar to Chain Assassination. None have Freerunning, but are the closest matches.

    Freerunning

    Rules

  • If the target creature is a legal target but isn’t destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, you’ll still draw a card if another creature died this turn.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Chain Assassination tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card even if another creature has died this turn.
  • Once an Assassin creature or commander you control deals combat damage to a player in a turn, you can cast spells for their freerunning costs for the rest of that turn. It doesn’t matter what happens to that Assassin or commander after that.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.
