"Find me cards equivalent to: Paralyze"

Equivalent cards to Paralyze with similar attributes (type, color, effect) are:
1. Pursuit of Power (Black, Aura — Similar payment to untap a creature)
2. Frozen Solid (Blue, Aura — Freezes a creature, but color mismatch)
3. Fear (Black, Aura — Not the same effect, but similar in being a black enchantment-aura for creatures.)
4. Painful Memories (Black, Enchantment — Not an Aura, but manipulation effect)
5. Lingering Tormentor (Black, Aura — Keeps a creature tapped, indirectly)

Closest true equivalents in Black enchantment-auras with lock/tax effects are rare. Paralyze is unique in black; most lockdown auras with untap tax are blue.

Short reason: Most effects like Paralyze appear in blue; black has few auras that repeat this effect. Paralyze itself is the best in black.

    Fear Persist

    Rules

  • If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.
  • If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner’s graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won’t trigger and the card won’t return to the battlefield. That’s because persist checks the creature’s existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
  • If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they’ll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.
  • If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can’t return to the battlefield.
  • If multiple creatures with persist are put into the graveyard at the same time (due to combat damage or a spell that destroys all creatures, for example), the active player (the player whose turn it is) puts all of their persist triggers on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order does the same. The last trigger put on the stack is the first one that resolves. That means that in a two-player game, the nonactive player’s persist creatures will return to the battlefield first, then the active player’s persist creatures do the same. The creatures return to the battlefield one at a time.
  • The persist ability triggers when the permanent is put into a graveyard. Its last known information (that is, how the creature last existed on the battlefield) is used to determine whether it had a -1/-1 counter on it.
  • When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it’s a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.

    Enchant

    Rules

  • Paralyze can be cast targeting a creature which is already tapped.
  • Paying the cost is optional.
  • The creature can only be untapped using Paralyze once per turn.
  • Two Paralyzes are not cumulative. Paying either one will untap the creature.
  • This is a change from the most recent wording. As was the case in the past, Paralyze itself has the last triggered ability, rather than granting that ability to the enchanted creature.
