"Find me cards equivalent to: Invoke Despair"

Equivalent cards in black (B), sorcery, that make opponents sacrifice creatures, enchantments, or planeswalkers are limited. Here are some close options, including your searched card:

  • Invoke Despair (your searched card): Makes opponent sacrifice creature, enchantment, then planeswalker, else lose life/draw cards.
  • Soul Shatter: Instant, opponent sacrifices a creature or planeswalker with highest mana value (no card draw/life loss, not enchantments).
  • Diabolic Edict: Instant, target player sacrifices a creature (no planeswalker/enchantment, no extra effects).
  • Vona's Hunger: Instant, each opponent sacrifices half their creatures (rounded up), but only creatures.
  • Stronghold Discipline: Sorcery, not forced sacrifice, but drains life per creature controlled.

Closest is Invoke Despair. No exact black sorcery covers all three permanent types with card draw/life loss backup. All the alternatives are missing one or more attributes.

    Rules

  • The target opponent doesn't choose whether to sacrifice a creature or not, although they do choose which creature they control to sacrifice.
  • When you repeat the process, you don't choose a new player. The same player sacrifices each of the three permanents, if able.
  • You repeat the process for an enchantment and a planeswalker whether the target opponent was able to sacrifice a creature or not.

  • As Soul Shatter resolves, first the opponent whose turn it is (or the next opponent in turn order, if it's your turn) chooses a creature or planeswalker they control with the highest mana value among that player's creatures and planeswalkers, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all of the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Ascend

    Rules

  • A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.
  • If you cast a spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city’s blessing.
  • If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won’t have the city’s blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.
  • If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the “Legend Rule” or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city’s blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
  • Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect.
  • When Vona’s Hunger resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature or creatures they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time. Players will know choices made by earlier players when making their choices.

    Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.) Each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice. If you have the city's blessing, instead each opponent sacrifices half the creatures they control of their choice, rounded up.
