"Find me cards equivalent to: Lavaball Trap"

Equivalent cards to Lavaball Trap (red, instant, land destruction and damage) are limited, but here are some similar options with explanation:
1. Stone Rain — Destroys a land (not instant, but red and land destruction).
2. Spreading Flames — Deals damage to creatures (instant, red, but not land destruction).
3. Magmaquake — Deals X damage to creatures (instant, red, boardwipe-ish).
4. Wild Ricochet — Copies and redirects instants/sorceries (instant, red, not land destruction, but similar impact).
5. Molten Disaster — Deals X damage to each creature without flying (red, boardwipe, not instant).

None are exact equivalents as Lavaball Trap is unique for being land destruction at instant speed and dealing damage, but Lavaball Trap is the closest match. Red rarely does instant-speed land destruction.

  • All creatures are dealt damage, not just ones controlled by the targeted lands' controller(s).
  • Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
  • Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
  • If both targeted lands are illegal targets by the time Lavaball Trap resolves, the entire spell doesn't resolve. No creatures are dealt damage.
  • You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
  • You may target any two lands, not just ones that entered this turn.

    If an opponent had two or more lands enter the battlefield under their control this turn, you may pay rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Destroy two target lands. Lavaball Trap deals 4 damage to each creature.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If Molten Disaster was kicked, Molten Disaster has split second as long as it's on the stack.
  • After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
  • Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
  • If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can't be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
  • Split second doesn't stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Rules

  • If the copy says that it affects "you," it affects the controller of the copy, not the controller of the original spell. Similarly, if the copy says that it affects an "opponent," it affects an opponent of the copy's controller, not an opponent of the original spell's controller.
  • If the spell Wild Ricochet copies has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Volcanic Geyser does), the copy has the same value of X.
  • If the spell Wild Ricochet copies is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can't choose a different one.
  • The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
  • When Wild Ricochet resolves, it creates a copy of a spell. You control the copy. The controller of the original spell retains control of that spell. The copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger. The copy will then resolve like a normal spell, after players get a chance to cast spells and activate abilities. The copy resolves before the original spell.
  • Wild Ricochet can target (and copy) any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets. It doesn't matter who controls it.
  • You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too. For example, if a player sacrifices a 3/3 creature to cast Fling, and you copy it with Wild Ricochet, the copy of Fling will also deal 3 damage to its target.

    You may choose new targets for target instant or sorcery spell. Then copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
