"Find me cards equivalent to: Hour of Defeat"

Equivalent cards in black (B) for Hour of Defeat:
1. Cast Down – Instant, destroys target nonlegendary creature. No surveil.
2. Go for the Throat – Instant, destroys target nonartifact creature. No surveil.
3. Murder – Instant, destroys target creature. No surveil.
4. Feed the Swarm – Sorcery, but destroys creature or enchantment, surveil not included.

No exact equivalent matches all features (instant, black, destroys any creature, plus surveil 1) except Hour of Gloom (coming from Murders at Karlov Manor), which is the card you described. Most black removal lacks surveil. Closest for surveil + removal: Price of Fame (removes creature, surveil 2, but costs less for legendary).


Reason: Most black instants destroy but lack surveil. Hour of Defeat is closest, but usually not both effects together.

    Rules

  • If a permanent on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
  • If the target permanent is an illegal target by the time Feed the Swarm tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't lose any life. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you do lose life.
  • The amount of life you lose is determined by the permanent's mana value as it last existed on the battlefield.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • Price of Fame can target a creature that's indestructible. It won't be destroyed, but you'll surveil.
  • Price of Fame's mana value is 4, even if it costs {2} less to cast.
  • You'll surveil before resolving any abilities that trigger on the target creature dying.
  • Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.
