"Find me cards equivalent to: Splendid Agony"

Equivalent cards to Splendid Agony (Instant, Black, -1/-1 counters distribution):
1. Spread the Sickness—Destroys a creature, then proliferates (-1/-1 counters).
2. Flourishing Defenses—Not an instant, but interacts with -1/-1 counters.
3. Grasp of Darkness—Instant, gives -4/-4 to target creature (doesn't use counters).
4. Wicked Slumber—Not black, but has similar distribution effect for blue.

Closest is Splendid Agony itself; black lacks many direct equivalents. Spread the Sickness is closest, but is a sorcery. Grasp of Darkness gives similar effect but uses -X/-X, not counters.

  • This ability triggers both when a -1/-1 counter is put on a creature on the battlefield and when a creature enters with a -1/-1 counter on it. This includes when a creature returns to the battlefield as a result of persist.
  • This ability triggers once for each -1/-1 counter. For example, if Leech Bonder (a creature that enters with two -1/-1 counters on it) entered, Flourishing Defenses's ability would trigger twice.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Proliferate

    Rules

  • If the creature is an illegal target when Spread the Sickness tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You won't proliferate.
  • If the creature regenerates or has indestructible when Spread the Sickness resolves, you'll still proliferate.
  • 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.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Convoke

    Rules

  • If you choose two target creatures, but one of them is an illegal target as Wicked Slumber resolves, the illegal target will be unaffected. You'll put both stun counters on the remaining legal target. If both targets become illegal, Wicked Slumber won't resolve at all.
  • The two stun counters can end up on the same creature, or they can each end up on a different one of the target creatures.
  • Wicked Slumber can target creatures that are already tapped.
  • Because convoke isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.
  • If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for convoke.
  • Tapping a multicolored creature using convoke will pay for {1} or one mana of your choice of any of that creature's colors.
  • Tapping an untapped creature that's attacking or blocking to convoke a spell won't cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.
  • When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
  • You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
