"Find me cards equivalent to: Rakdos the Defiler"

Equivalent cards (same colors, type, and similar effect):
1. Rakdos, Lord of Riots — Legendary Creature — Demon, B/R, rewards damage and has aggressive abilities.
2. Rakdos, the Showstopper — Legendary Creature — Demon, B/R, destroys other creatures—chaotic board impact.
3. Reaper from the Abyss — Creature — Demon, B, has a destruction effect but not legendary or R.
4. Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger — Legendary Creature, B/R, more graveyard/value based, less permanent sacrifice.
5. Demonlord of Ashmouth — Creature — Demon, B, limited overlap with sacrifice themes.

Closest exact equivalents in theme and color:

  • Rakdos, Lord of Riots
  • Rakdos, the Showstopper

Short reason: Very few creatures match Rakdos the Defiler for color, type, and a board-warping sacrifice effect. Only other Rakdos legends (Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Rakdos, the Showstopper) are close equivalents.

    Escape

    Rules

  • After an escaped spell resolves, it returns to its owner's graveyard if it's not a permanent spell. If it is a permanent spell, it enters the battlefield and will return to its owner's graveyard if it dies later. Perhaps it will escape again—good underworld security is so hard to come by these days.
  • An opponent loses 3 life if they discard a land card or if they can't discard a card at all.
  • As the second ability resolves, first the next opponent in turn order (or, if it's an opponent's turn, the opponent whose turn it is) chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then each other opponent in turn order does the same. All the chosen cards are discarded at the same time, and then the appropriate players lose 3 life each.
  • Escape's permission doesn't change when you may cast the spell from your graveyard.
  • If a card has multiple abilities giving you permission to cast it, such as two escape abilities or an escape ability and a flashback ability, you choose which one to apply. The others have no effect.
  • If a card with escape is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.
  • If you cast a spell with its escape permission, you can't choose to apply any other alternative costs or to cast it without paying its mana cost. If it has any additional costs, you must pay those.
  • Kroxa's first ability causes you to sacrifice it if you didn't cast it, or if it was cast using any permission other than an escape ability.
  • Kroxa's second ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, even if it didn't escape.
  • Once you begin casting a spell with escape, it immediately moves to the stack. Players can't take any other actions until you're done casting the spell.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an escape cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was and no matter whether an alternative cost was paid.
  • To resolve Kroxa's second triggered ability in a multiplayer game, the next opponent in turn order (or, if it's an opponent's turn, the opponent whose turn it is) chooses a card in hand and sets it aside without revealing it. Then each other opponent in turn order does the same. Next, all chosen cards are revealed and discarded at the same time. Finally, each opponent who didn't discard a nonland card loses 3 life.

    Flying Trample

    Rules

  • A permanent with the subtype Demon, including Rakdos the Defiler itself, can't be sacrificed this way.
  • To calculate the number of permanents that must be sacrificed, count the number of permanents the affected player controls that don't have the subtype Demon, then divide that number in half and round up. For example, a player who controls eleven non-Demon permanents will need to sacrifice six of them.

    Flying Trample

    Rules

  • Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.
  • If an opponent lost life and subsequently lost the game, Rakdos's first ability is satisfied, and its last ability counts that loss of life.
  • If there are additional costs to cast a creature spell, such as a kicker cost or the commander tax, apply those increases before applying cost reductions.
  • Rakdos can be put onto the battlefield by another spell or ability even if no opponent has lost life that turn.
  • Rakdos's last ability can't reduce the colored mana requirement of a creature spell you cast.
  • Rakdos's last ability cares about the total life lost, not necessarily what an opponent's life total is compared to what it was at the beginning of the turn. For example, if an opponent loses 5 life and then gains 10 life in a turn, creature spells you cast will cost {5} less to cast.
  • Rakdos's last ability won't reduce the cost to cast Rakdos itself. It applies only to creature spells you cast once Rakdos is on the battlefield.
