"Find me cards equivalent to: Malignus"

Equivalent or similar cards to Malignus (red, scales based on opponents' life, unique damage/indestructible effect):
1. Serra Avatar — Its power/toughness equal your life total (not red, but similar mechanic).
2. Hungering Hydra — Red, grows based on mana, not on opponent’s life.
3. Scourge of the Skyclaves — Black, itself grows based on opponent’s life.
4. Chandra's Incinerator — Red, cost reduced by damage opponents have taken, also deals damage.

Out of these, Malignus remains unique in red for scaling directly with opponents' life and preventing damage prevention. No direct replacements in mono-red with the exact same abilities. Closest overall is Scourge of the Skyclaves (but it is black).

    Rules

  • Chandra's Incinerator counts all noncombat damage dealt to your opponents, not the difference in their life totals since the turn began. For example, if an opponent was dealt 5 noncombat damage but gained 3 life, Chandra's Incinerator still costs just {R}.
  • Combat damage is the damage that's dealt automatically by attacking and blocking creatures. Any other damage is noncombat damage, even if it's dealt during a combat phase by an attacking or blocking creature.
  • In a multiplayer game, Chandra's Incinerator counts damage dealt to opponents who have lost the game.
  • The cost reduction applies only to generic mana in the cost of Chandra's Incinerator. It can't reduce the {R} requirement.

    This spell costs less to cast, where X is the total amount of noncombat damage dealt to your opponents this turn. Trample Whenever a source you control deals noncombat damage to an opponent, this creature deals that much damage to target creature or planeswalker that player controls.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Kicker

    Rules

  • An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered. Notably, Scourge of the Skyclaves may have its toughness change from less than 0 to greater than 0 as a result of its triggered ability before it resolves and enters the battlefield.
  • If the highest life total among players is greater than 20, Scourge of the Skyclaves has negative power and toughness equal to the difference.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Scourge of the Skyclaves causes each team to lose twice half their life rounded up, which is their full life total or, if it's odd, that much life plus 1. This causes the game to end in a draw.
  • The ability that defines Scourge of the Skyclaves's power and toughness applies in all zones, not just the battlefield.
  • 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.

    Kicker When you cast this spell, if it was kicked, each player loses half their life, rounded up. Scourge of the Skyclaves's power and toughness are each equal to 20 minus the highest life total among players.
