"Find me cards equivalent to: Rakdos's Return"

Equivalent cards (same type, colors, and similar effects to Rakdos's Return):
1. Mind Shatter (Sorcery, B) — Target player discards X cards at random.
2. Decree of Pain (Sorcery, B) — Each creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn. Draw a card for each creature destroyed this way. (Note: Black, doesn’t match perfectly, no red.)
3. Capital Punishment (Sorcery, B, R) — Each opponent chooses one or more: Discard a card, sacrifice a creature, lose 4 life.
4. Syphon Mind (Sorcery, B) — Each other player discards a card.
5. Kolaghan's Command (Instant, B, R) — Choose two: Return target creature from your graveyard to your hand, target player discards a card, destroy target artifact, or Kolaghan's Command deals 2 damage to any target.

Closest equivalents in both black and red to Rakdos's Return are Capital Punishment and Kolaghan's Command. However, no card does exactly both damage and discard for X like Rakdos's Return in BR.

    Rules

  • Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • Each opponent chooses an appropriate number of creatures to sacrifice in turn order, then all of those creatures are sacrificed simultaneously. After that is complete, each opponent sets aside an appropriate number of cards to discard in turn order, then all cards are revealed and discarded simultaneously.
  • If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.
  • If an opponent controls fewer creatures or has fewer cards in hand than the number of appropriate votes, all those creatures are sacrificed or all those cards are discarded, as applicable.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.
  • The effects of each council’s dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
  • Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
  • You must vote for one of the available options. You can’t abstain.

    Cycling

    Rules

  • The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve, and you'll draw a card.
  • When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.

    Rules

  • As the spell resolves, follow the instructions of the modes you chose in the order they are printed on the card. For example, if you chose the second and fourth modes of Ojutai's Command, you would gain 4 life and then draw a card. (The order won't matter in most cases.)
  • If a Command is copied, the effect that creates the copy will usually allow you to choose new targets for the copy, but you can't choose new modes.
  • If all targets for the chosen modes become illegal before the Command resolves, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. If at least one target is still legal, the spell will resolve but will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • You can choose a mode only if you can choose legal targets for that mode. Ignore the targeting requirements for modes that aren't chosen. For example, you can cast Ojutai's Command without targeting a creature spell provided you don't choose the third mode.
  • You choose the two modes as you cast the spell. You must choose two different modes. Once modes are chosen, they can't be changed.
