"Find me cards equivalent to: Showstopping Surprise"

Equivalent cards to Showstopping Surprise (Instant, Red, similar text/effect):
1. Chandra’s Ignition – Sorcery, but its effect is close: Target creature deals damage equal to its power to each other creature and each opponent.
2. Fall of the Hammer – Instant, Red, but only fights another creature: Target creature you control deals its power to another target creature.
3. Soul's Fire – Instant, Red: Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to any target (not all others).

Closest in effect (instant speed and deals power as damage): Showstopping Surprise is unique for being an instant, red, with the AoE equal to power effect—no exact instant match, but Chandra’s Ignition is closest in overall effect, though not at instant speed.

  • As Fall of the Hammer tries to resolve, if only one of the targets is legal, Fall of the Hammer will still resolve but will have no effect: If the first target creature is illegal, it can’t deal damage to anything. If the second target creature is illegal, it can’t be dealt damage.
  • The amount of damage dealt is based on the first target creature’s power as Fall of the Hammer resolves.
