"Find me cards equivalent to: Foul Renewal"

There is no exact equivalent to Foul Renewal, but here are similar black instant cards that return creatures to your hand and/or give -X/-X effects:
1. Necromantic Summons – Sorcery, but returns a creature card from a graveyard to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter.
2. Grim Return – Instant, return a creature from any graveyard to the battlefield under your control.
3. Murderous Cut – Instant, gives -X/-X equivalent (destroy target creature), but lacks the recursion.
4. Raise Dead – Sorcery, return a creature from your graveyard to your hand (no -X/-X effect).

Closest in spirit to Foul Renewal in black at instant speed is Grim Return, because it revives a creature as an instant, but there is no card that combines both recursion and -X/-X at instant speed the same way.

  • You must target a creature card in your graveyard and a creature on the battlefield to cast Foul Renewal. If the creature becomes an illegal target before Foul Renewal resolves, you’ll still return the creature card to your hand. If the creature card in your graveyard becomes an illegal target, the creature on the battlefield will be unaffected as there is no “card returned this way.”

    Rules

  • Creature spells that are countered never entered the battlefield, so those cards can’t be chosen as the target of Grim Return.
  • You can choose a creature card in any player’s graveyard as long as that card was put there from the battlefield during the turn. A creature card that was put into a graveyard from anywhere else, such as a card that was discarded, can’t be chosen as the target.

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.

  • Check to see if there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard as the spell resolves to determine whether the spell mastery ability applies. The spell itself won’t count because it’s still on the stack as you make this check.
