"Find me cards equivalent to: Sudden Death"

Equivalent cards to Sudden Death (Instant, Black, Split Second, -4/-4 to target creature) are very rare because Split second is unique. Closest black instants with similar effects (single-target, instant speed, -X/-X, removal):

  • Tragic Slip (Instant, B, target creature gets -1/-1, or -13/-13 with Morbid)
  • Murder (Instant, 1BB, destroy target creature)
  • Snuff Out (Instant, 3B, destroy nonblack creature, can cast for life instead of mana)

Note: None offer Split second except Sudden Death. Sudden Spoiling is split second but doesn't kill outright. Sudden Death is unique in having all these attributes.

    Rules

  • After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
  • Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
  • If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can't be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
  • Split second doesn't stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.

  • Sudden Spoiling affects only creatures the target player controls at the time it resolves. Creatures they begin to control later in the turn won't change power and toughness or lose abilities.
  • Sudden Spoiling overwrites any effects that set a creature's power and toughness. Any existing effects or counters that raise, lower, or switch a creature's power and/or toughness continue to apply to the creature's newly-set power and toughness.
