"Find me cards equivalent to: Grab the Reins"

Equivalent cards to Grab the Reins (Instant, Red, similar effect):
1. Harness by Force: Instant, Red. Gain control of target creature until end of turn, untap it, it gains haste. Strive lets you target additional creatures.
2. Act of Aggression: Instant, Hybrid Red/Phyrexian Mana. Gain control of target creature until end of turn, untap it, it gains haste.
3. Fling: Instant, Red. Sacrifice a creature, deals damage equal to its power to any target (but does not steal).


Reason: All are red instants with effects similar to Grab the Reins, focusing on stealing and/or sacrificing creatures for damage. None do both with entwine, but each replicates a part of Grab the Reins with instant speed.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Entwine

    Rules

  • If you cast this with Entwine, you don’t get priority in the middle of resolution. You can’t steal something, do anything (like attack with it), and then sacrifice it.
  • If you choose the “sacrifice a creature” mode, you choose the target of the damage on announcement, but don’t choose what to sacrifice until resolution. You must sacrifice a creature when Grab the Reins resolves, even if you don’t want to. If you don’t control any creatures at that time, Grab the Reins deals no damage.
  • If you pay the entwine cost, you can sacrifice the creature you gain control of with Grab the Reins.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Gaining control of a creature doesn't cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.
  • Harness by Force can target any creature, even one that's untapped or one you already control.
  • If a spell or ability allows you to cast a strive spell without paying its mana cost, you must pay the additional costs for any targets beyond the first.
  • If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. If one or more of its targets are legal when it tries to resolve, the spell will resolve and affect only those legal targets. It will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • If such a spell is copied, and the effect that copies the spell allows a player to choose new targets for the copy, the number of targets can't be changed. The player may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, the player can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
  • The mana cost and mana value of strive spells don't change no matter how many targets they have. Strive abilities affect only what you pay.
  • You choose how many targets each spell with a strive ability has and what those targets are as you cast it. It's legal to cast such a spell with no targets, although this is rarely a good idea. You can't choose the same target more than once for a single strive spell.
