"Find me cards equivalent to: Karai's Technique"

Here are some equivalent cards (Black/White Sorceries with similar effects or flexibility):
1. Zealous Persecution

  • Sorcery, {W}{B}
  • Text: Until end of turn, creatures you control get +1/+1 and creatures your opponents control get -1/-1.

  • Reason: Flexible buff/debuff in BW.
    2. Blessed Alliance (note: technically an instant, but with both pump and remove effects at low cost)
  • Instant, {1}{W}
  • Text: Choose one or more — Target player gains 4 life; untap up to two target creatures; target opponent sacrifices an attacking creature.

  • Reason: Versatile options, similar to the choose mode.
    3. Baleful Mastery
  • Sorcery, {3}{B}
  • Text: Exile target creature or planeswalker.

  • Reason: Removal flexibility in B.
    4. Profane Command
  • Sorcery, {X}{B}{B}
  • Text: Choose two — Target player loses X life; return target creature card with mana value X or less from the graveyard to the battlefield; target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn; up to X target creatures gain fear until end of turn.

    Rules

  • If an effect increases or decreases the cost of spells you cast, that cost increase or decrease is applied to the alternative cost you chose to pay. In that case, the cost was still paid for the purposes of the effect, even if you paid more or less for it when it was cast.
  • If you choose to pay one alternative cost, you can't pay any other alternative costs. For example, if an effect lets you cast a "Mastery" spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't also choose to pay its given alternative cost.
  • If you copy a "Mastery" spell and the alternative cost was paid, the copy will resolve as though the cost was paid.
  • In a multiplayer game, you choose which opponent takes the prescribed action as the spell resolves.
  • The mana value of a spell on the stack is determined by its mana cost, not any alternative costs you used to pay for it.

    You may pay rather than pay this spell's mana cost. If the cost was paid, an opponent draws a card. Exile target creature or planeswalker.

    Escalate

    Rules

  • Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.
  • Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.
  • If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.
  • If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.
  • If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
  • The targeted opponent chooses which of their attacking creatures to sacrifice, not you.
  • Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t cause it to be removed from combat.
  • You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.
  • You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.
