"Find me cards equivalent to: Fireball"

Equivalent cards:
1. Fireball — baseline card.
2. Comet Storm — Instant, can hit multiple targets with a similar mana scaling mechanic.
3. Banefire — Sorcery, single target, but scales with X.
4. Searing Wind — Sorcery, single target, flat high damage.
5. Meteor Swarm — Sorcery, divides damage among targets.


Reason: All are red, involve scalable or multi-target damage, and share similar X or multi-target mechanics. Comet Storm is closest in function due to targeting and scalability.

  • Banefire can be targeted by spells that try to counter it regardless of what the value of X is. If X is 5 or more, those spells will still resolve, but the part of their effect that would counter Banefire won’t do anything. Any other effects those spells have will work as normal.
  • If its target is illegal by the time Banefire tries to resolve, the spell isn’t countered, but it doesn’t resolve. The target won’t be dealt damage.
  • To determine whether it can be countered and its damage can be prevented, Banefire checks the number you chose for X, not the amount of mana you actually spent or the amount of damage it will actually deal.

    Rules

  • As long as any of its targets are legal at the time Comet Storm resolves, Comet Storm will deal X damage to each of those legal targets.
  • Each target you choose must be different.
  • For example, if you want Comet Storm to deal 4 damage to each of three different targets, that means X is 4 and you're kicking the spell twice. You'll pay a mana cost of {4}{R}{R}, plus a kicker cost of {1}, plus another kicker cost of {1}, for a total of {6}{R}{R}.
  • The number of targets you choose for Comet Storm is one more than the number of times it's kicked. First you declare how many times you're going to kick the spell (at the same time you declare the value of X), then you choose the targets accordingly, then you pay the costs. No player can respond between the time you declare how many times you'll kick the spell and the time you choose the targets.
  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Multikicker (You may pay an additional any number of times as you cast this spell.) Choose any target, then choose another target for each time this spell was kicked. Comet Storm deals X damage to each of them.

    Rules

  • Fireball's damage is divided as Fireball resolves, not as it's cast, because there are no choices involved. The division involves only targets that are still legal as Fireball resolves.
  • For example, if X is 5 and you choose three target creatures, Fireball has a total cost of {7}{R} (even though its mana cost is just {5}{R} and its mana value is 6). If those creatures are all still legal targets as Fireball resolves, it deals 1 damage to each of them.
  • You can target more than X creatures. However, if the number of legal targets at the time Fireball resolves is greater than X, none of them will be dealt any damage.
  • You may cast Fireball with zero targets, regardless of the value chosen for X. If you do so, it will not be a targeted spell, and no damage will actually be dealt when it resolves.

  • If Meteor Swarm has one or more targets, and some (but not all) of them are illegal as Meteor Swarm tries to resolve, the amount of damage dealt to the remaining legal targets doesn't change. If all targets become illegal, Meteor Swarm won't resolve.
  • You divide the damage as you cast Meteor Swarm. Each target must be assigned at least 1 damage. Because there is a maximum of eight targets, X can't be greater than 8.

    Rules

  • You activate X’s first activated ability while X is on the battlefield under your control. This puts X into an opponent’s hand. That opponent plays with their hand revealed, and they’re not allowed to cast X or activate any of X’s abilities—but you are. You can activate X’s second ability to play one of the cards in that hand.
  • You choose which card to play as X’s last ability resolves. Your opponent can respond to you activating the ability to get other cards out of their hand. Whatever’s left when the ability resolves is fair game.
  • You don’t own the cards you play this way. An instant or sorcery cast this way will go to its owner’s graveyard. A creature card you cast this way will enter the battlefield under your control, but it will be put into its owner’s graveyard if it dies. The same is true for other permanent cards you cast or lands you play.
  • You play the card as X’s last ability resolves, with one exception: You can’t play a land this way unless it’s your turn and you have an available land play. If you’re casting a spell this way, you do so as the ability resolves. Ignore any timing restrictions based on the card’s type. You can cast their sorceries or creatures during their turn, for example.
