"Find me cards equivalent to: Despondency"

Equivalent cards to Despondency (black, Enchantment — Aura, similar effect):
1. Dead Weight — Aura, gives -2/-2, no return to hand.
2. Supernatural Stamina — Similar graveyard return utility, not a permanent or Aura.
3. Vanishing — Aura, returns to owner's hand when detached, but for blue, not black.

Closest direct equivalents for black Auras:

  • Dead Weight (removal, but doesn't return to hand)
  • Parasitic Impetus (gives -2/-2, but gives opponent a benefit, doesn't return to hand)


Reason: Few black Auras reduce only power and return to hand. Despondency is unusual among black common auras for this kind of recursion. Most similar is Dead Weight, though it adds toughness loss and doesn't recur.

    Enchant Goad

    Rules

  • If you are the attacking creature's controller, you lose 2 life and gain 2 life. You won't lose the game if your life total is 0 in between these two events.
  • Parasitic Impetus causes you to gain life, not the attacking creature's controller.
  • Attacking with a goaded creature doesn't cause it to stop being goaded. If there is an additional combat phase that turn, or if another player gains control of it before it stops being goaded, it must attack again if able.
  • Being goaded isn't an ability the creature has. Once it's been goaded, it must attack as detailed above even if it loses all abilities.
  • If a creature you control has been goaded by multiple opponents, it must attack one of your opponents that hasn't goaded it, as that fulfills the maximum number of goad requirements. If a creature you control has been goaded by each of your opponents, the creature must attack an opponent (rather than a planeswalker or battle), but you choose which opponent it attacks.
  • If the creature doesn't meet any of the above exceptions and can attack, it must attack a player other than the controller of the spell or ability that goaded it if able. If the creature can't attack any of those players but could otherwise attack, it must attack a planeswalker an opponent controls, a battle an opponent controls, or a player who goaded it.
  • If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature that player controls that's been goaded is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack a player, its controller isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack that player.
