"Find me cards equivalent to: Contest of Claws"

Equivalent cards to Contest of Claws (green, sorcery, fight/damage + potential value):
1. Epic Confrontation

Reason: Sorcery, green, target creature you control deals damage to another creature.
2. Clear Shot

Reason: Green, instant (not sorcery), does similar direct damage with a pump.
3. Ruthless Instincts

Reason: Modal card; one mode is similar but is an instant.
4. Ravenous Chupacabra

Reason: Not green or a sorcery, but is used for creature removal (does not deal damage though).
5. Ram Through

Reason: Green, instant, targets a creature you control to deal its power as damage to a creature you don't control, with excess damage going to the player or planeswalker.

Contest of Claws is unique due to the discover X effect, which is currently not replicated on any other green sorcery. The above cards offer similar fight or direct-damage effects but do not grant the additional discover/bonus value. The closest equivalents in function are Epic Confrontation and Ram Through.

    Rules

  • A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
  • Excess damage has been dealt to a creature if the damage dealt to it is greater than lethal damage. Usually, this means damage greater than its toughness, although damage already marked on the creature is taken into account.
  • If the discovered card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you can't cast the discovered card (perhaps because there are no legal targets for the spell), you'll put it into your hand.
  • If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost", you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast it.
  • If you discover an adventurer card, split card, or modal double-faced card, you might be able to cast that card with either set of characteristics depending on the effect's discover value. For example, if you discover 4 and reveal Galvanic Giant (an adventurer card from Wilds of Eldraine with a mana value of 4), you could cast Galvanic Giant, but not Storm Reading (its Adventure, which has a mana value of 7). If you discover 7 and reveal Galvanic Giant, you could cast either Galvanic Giant or Storm Reading.
  • Some spells and abilities that cause you to discover may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and you won't discover.
  • The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If discover allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half (as long as its mana value is less than or equal to the effect's discover value) but not both halves.
  • When you discover, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether you cast the exiled card or put it into your hand.
  • You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

    Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to another target creature. If excess damage was dealt this way, discover X, where X is that excess damage. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)

    Rules

  • Excess damage caused by a spell or ability is similar to how combat damage from a creature with trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is “lethal.” This is the creature’s toughness minus the amount of damage that it already has marked on it, but ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature has an ability such as indestructible that will result in it not being destroyed by this damage.
  • If either creature is an illegal target as Ram Through tries to resolve, the creature you control won’t deal damage to any creature or player.
  • If the target creature you control has deathtouch, 1 damage from it is lethal.
  • Once you’ve determined how much damage is excess, the creature you control simultaneously deals damage to the creature and to its controller. This damage may be modified by replacement or prevention effects.
