"Find me cards equivalent to: Retribution of the Ancients"

Equivalent cards to Retribution of the Ancients (Enchantment, Black, interacts with +1/+1 counters and creature removal) are rare, but here are the closest options:
1. Power Conduit (Artifact, allows moving/removing +1/+1 counters but not direct removal)
2. Grave Pact (Enchantment, B, makes other players sacrifice creatures when yours die; shares removal but not counter interaction)
3. Dark Salvation (Sorcery, B, creates Zombies and gives target creature -X/-X based on the number of Zombies made, similar effect but not enchantment/counter based)
4. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician (Creature, B, pay life and sacrifice another creature: put a -1/-1 counter on up to one target creature and draw a card. Also interacts with counters and removal.)


Reason: There is no other enchantment identical to Retribution of the Ancients for recurring counter-based removal in black, but these come closest in color and effect.

    Rules

  • If the targeted creature becomes an illegal target, the targeted player will still get Zombie tokens.
  • You choose up to one target creature total, not a separate target for each Zombie that player controls.
  • You may cast Dark Salvation with X as 0 just to have a creature get -1/-1 for each Zombie a player controls, and you may cast it without targeting any creature just to have a player get Zombie tokens. If you really just want to cast a spell, you can even cast it with X as 0 without a target creature and have neither effect do anything.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Grave Pact's ability will trigger that many times.
  • If two players each control a Grave Pact and a creature controlled by one of those players dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of that player's Grave Pact will trigger, causing each other player to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Grave Pact to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Grave Pact and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each other player will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, when a creature you control dies, Grave Pact's triggered ability will cause each other player, including your teammate, to sacrifice a creature. Grave Pact's ability won't trigger when a creature your teammate controls dies.
  • None of the players are targeted. A player with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if it isn't your turn) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Proliferate Protection

    Rules

  • Protection from Humans refers only to the creature type Human. As far as Yawgmoth is concerned, you, your opponents, and planeswalkers aren't Humans.
  • You may activate Yawgmoth's first activated ability without choosing a target creature. You'll just draw a card. However, if you choose a target and it becomes illegal before the ability tries to resolve, the ability won't resolve and you won't draw a card.
  • If a permanent has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action until that permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.
  • Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.
  • To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
  • You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
  • An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.
  • If a permanent ever has both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it at the same time, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.
  • If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
  • Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.
  • To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
  • You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
