"Find me cards equivalent to: Grisly Sigil"

Equivalent cards to Grisly Sigil (black sorceries, deals damage, gains life):
1. Soul Sear (Red, but black lacks direct equivalents—Soul Sear deals targeted damage, but doesn’t gain life or interact with life drain)
2. Tendrils of Corruption (B, Sorcery, deals damage to a creature and you gain life equal to the damage dealt, but it’s based on number of Swamps)
3. Exsanguinate (B, Sorcery, each opponent loses X life, you gain X life—more global, not targeted)
4. Sorins Thirst (B, Sorcery, deals 2 damage to target creature, you gain 2 life—no casualty or conditional damage, but similar effect)
5. Bloodchief’s Thirst (B, Sorcery, destroys creature/planeswalker, can be upgraded, no life gain, but black removal staple)


Reason: Black doesn’t have many targeted, scalable burn spells with life gain at common/uncommon. Grisly Sigil stands out for its conditional scaling and casualty copy potential; the closest in color are more often removal or life drain effects like Tendrils of Corruption.

If you cast Exsanguinate with X of 4, your opponents will wind up at -1 life and 6 life, respectively. You'll gain 8 life.

    Casualty

    Rules

  • Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.”
  • If you cast Grisly Sigil targeting a creature or planeswalker that hasn't been dealt noncombat damage this turn, choose to pay its casualty cost, and choose not to change the target, the copy will deal 1 damage and you will gain 1 life. Then, the original spell will resolve. It will deal 3 damage, and you will gain 3 life.
  • If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.
  • The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
  • You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once.
