"Find me cards equivalent to: Ray of Ruin"

Equivalent cards to Ray of Ruin (black, sorcery, exile creature/vehicle/nonbasic land, scry 1) are:
1. Feed the Swarm – Destroys creature or enchantment, not exile, but still removal.
2. Go for the Throat – Destroys a creature, doesn’t hit vehicles/nonbasics, no scry.
3. Murderous Cut – Exiles creature, but uses delve, no scry.
4. Malakir Rebirth – Exchange, not exile.

Closest is Feed the Swarm, but nothing hits all three targets and offers scry in a black sorcery. No true equivalent.


Reason: Black usually exiles or destroys creatures, rarely hits lands or vehicles; scry is uncommon.

    Rules

  • If a permanent on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
  • If the target permanent is an illegal target by the time Feed the Swarm tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't lose any life. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you do lose life.
  • The amount of life you lose is determined by the permanent's mana value as it last existed on the battlefield.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.
