AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Excavation Explosion

Equivalent cards to Excavation Explosion (red sorcery, deal 3 damage to any target & create a Powerstone) would include:
1. Searing Spear – Deals 3 damage to any target (no Powerstone).
2. Lightning Strike – Deals 3 damage to any target (no Powerstone).
3. Play with Fire – Deals 2 damage but lets you scry
1.


Reason: All are red spells that deal direct damage for a similar mana cost. None make Powerstones, but all are close in effect.

    Rules

  • Although all the cards in The Brothers' War that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn't part of the token's definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won't enter the battlefield tapped.
  • Powerstone tokens are a kind of predefined token. Each one has the artifact subtype "Powerstone" and the ability "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell."
  • You can use the {C} added by a Powerstone token on anything that isn't a nonartifact spell. This includes paying costs to activate abilities of both artifact and nonartifact permanents, paying ward costs, and so on.
