"Find me cards equivalent to: Ruinous Path"

Equivalent cards to Ruinous Path (black sorceries that destroy a creature or planeswalker):

  • Ruinous Path
  • Murderous Cut (Destroys target creature, but not planeswalker; still black sorcery, but uses delve)
  • Foul Play (Destroys creature, basic effect only; not planeswalker)
  • Eat to Extinction (Black instant, can destroy creature or planeswalker, but not a sorcery)

Closest direct black sorcery: Ruinous Path is unique for destroying both creature and planeswalker at sorcery speed with an alternate mode. No other black sorcery does this with a similar Awaken effect. The closest functional equivalent is Heroes' Downfall, but it's an instant:

  • Heroes' Downfall (Instant, destroys creature or planeswalker)

Summary: No other black sorcery does exactly what Ruinous Path does, but Heroes' Downfall is the closest, though it is an instant and lacks the Awaken ability.

    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.

    Awaken

    Rules

  • Awaken doesn’t give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.
  • If a spell with awaken has multiple targets (including the land you control), and some but not all of those targets become illegal by the time the spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t affect the illegal targets in any way.
  • If the non-awaken part of the spell doesn’t require a target and you cast the spell for its awaken cost, then the spell won’t resolve if the target land you control becomes illegal before the spell resolves (such as due to being destroyed in response to the spell being cast).
  • If the non-awaken part of the spell requires a target, you must choose a legal target. You can’t cast the spell if you can’t choose a legal target for each instance of the word “target” (though you only need a legal target for the awaken ability if you’re casting the spell for its awaken cost).
  • The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that’s turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for {G}.
  • You can cast a spell with awaken for its mana cost and get only its first effect. If you cast a spell for its awaken cost, you’ll get both effects.
