5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Killing Wave

Equivalent cards to Killing Wave (black sorcery, ‘pay life or sacrifice creatures’ effect) include:

  • Barter in Blood (each player sacrifices two creatures)
  • Merciless Executioner (each player sacrifices a creature)
  • Dictate of Erebos (when your creature dies, opponents sacrifice a creature)
  • Butcher of Malakir (same as above)


Reason: These cards all force sacrifices at a cost or in response to certain actions, closely mimicking Killing Wave's effect.

    Flying

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control (possibly including Butcher of Malakir itself) are put into their owners' graveyards at the same time, Butcher of Malakir's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
  • If you and an opponent each control a Butcher of Malakir and a creature is put into a graveyard, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Butcher will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Butcher to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Butcher of Malakir and a creature you control is put into a graveyard, each of those Butchers' abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Dictate of Erebos's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
  • If you and an opponent each control a Dictate of Erebos and a creature dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Dictate of Erebos will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Dictate of Erebos to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Dictate of Erebos and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • None of the opponents are targeted. An opponent with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Rules

  • A player may choose to pay life for some creatures and sacrifice the rest. It’s not an all-or-nothing decision.
  • First, the active player chooses whether to pay X life for each creature they control. Then each other player in turn order chooses for their creatures. Then each player pays life and sacrifices creatures at the same time. Players will know the decisions of players who chose before them.
  • If you can’t sacrifice a creature (perhaps because of Sigarda, Host of Herons), you can choose not to pay life and nothing will happen.
  • You can’t pay more life than you have.
