"Find me cards equivalent to: Erratic Explosion"

Equivalent cards to Erratic Explosion (Red, Sorcery, similar effect):
1. Mayael's Aria (Not equivalent, different color and effect)
2. Mizzium Mortars (Similar color and type, but different effect)
3. Warp World (Red Sorcery, but affects board, not damage based on mana value)
4. Closest is Epic Experiment (but that's Blue-Red and does not deal damage)

Conclusion:
Erratic Explosion is unique in Red sorceries. No other mono-red sorcery deals damage based on the mana value of a revealed card from your library. The closest is Magma Opus for big Red spells, but the effect is still different.


Reason:
No equivalent mono-red sorcery exists that duplicates the specific reveal-and-damage mechanic of Erratic Explosion.

  • If the 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 a card, perhaps because there are no legal targets available, or if you choose not to cast it, it will be put into your graveyard.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the card.
  • When casting an instant or sorcery card this way, ignore timing restrictions based on the card's type. Other timing restrictions, such as "Cast [this card] only during combat," must be followed.
  • You cast the cards one at a time, choosing modes, targets, and so on. The last card you cast will be the first one to resolve.

    Rules

  • If somehow all of Magma Opus's targets are illegal as it tries to resolve, none of its effects happen. You will not create an Elemental token or draw two cards.
  • The same permanent can be chosen as a target for each of the two instances of "target." That is, you can have Magma Opus both deal damage to a creature or planeswalker and then tap it. (We're having a hard time imagining why you would, but you're the brilliant student.)
  • You also choose how the 4 damage will be divided among the first group of targets as you cast Magma Opus. You must have at least 1 damage dealt to each of those targets.
  • You choose all targets for Magma Opus as you cast the spell. This includes up to four targets for the first effect and two target permanents for the second effect.
  • You must choose two different target permanents for the second effect. You may choose permanents that are already tapped.

  • The three parts of the ability happen sequentially. For example, if you control a creature with 9 power when the ability starts to resolve, you'll put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control — and now, since you control a creature with 10 power, you'll gain 10 life.
  • This ability triggers at the beginning of each of your upkeeps. Whether you control any applicable creatures is checked only when the ability resolves.

    Overload

    Rules

  • Because a spell with overload doesn't target when its overload cost is paid, it may affect permanents with hexproof or with protection from the appropriate color.
  • If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.
  • If you don't pay the overload cost of a spell with overload, that spell will have a single target. If you pay the overload cost, the spell won't have any targets.
  • Note that if the spell with overload is dealing damage, protection from that spell's color will still prevent that damage.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an overload cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

  • Anything that triggers during the resolution of this will wait to be put on the stack until everything is put onto the battlefield and resolution is complete. The player whose turn it is will put all of their triggered abilities on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order will do the same. (The last ability put on the stack will be the first one that resolves.)
  • 1) Each player counts the number of permanents they own.
  • 2) Each player shuffles those permanents into their library.
  • 3) Each player reveals cards from the top of their library equal to the number that player counted.
  • 4) Each player puts all artifact, land, and creature cards revealed this way onto the battlefield. All of these cards enter at the same time.
  • 5) Each player puts all enchantment cards revealed this way onto the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way can enchant an artifact, land, or creature that was already put onto the battlefield, but can't enchant an enchantment that's being put onto the battlefield at the same time as it. If multiple players have Auras to put onto the battlefield, the player whose turn it is announces what their Auras will enchant, then each other player in turn order does the same, then all enchantments (both Auras and non-Auras) enter at the same time.
  • 6) Each player puts all of their other revealed cards (instants, sorceries, planeswalkers, and Auras that can't enchant anything) on the bottom of their library in any order.
  • Taking it slowly, here's what happens when Warp World resolves:
  • Tokens are permanents but not cards. They'll count toward the number of permanents shuffled into your library, so you'll get a card back for each token you owned. But the tokens themselves should be ignored while you're revealing *cards* from your library. In practice, you shouldn't actually shuffle them into your library since they'll cease to exist as soon as Warp World finishes resolving. Note that a token's owner is the player under who created it.
  • If a permanent leaves the battlefield this way but ends up in a zone other than a library (most likely because it's a player's commander in the Commander variant), it's still counted to determine how many cards to reveal.

    Each player shuffles all permanents they own into their library, then reveals that many cards from the top of their library. Each player puts all artifact, creature, and land cards revealed this way onto the battlefield, then does the same for enchantment cards, then puts all cards revealed this way that weren't put onto the battlefield on the bottom of their library.
