"Find me cards equivalent to: Sure Strike"

Equivalent cards to Sure Strike (Red Instants that give +power and first strike):
1. Lightning Blow – Instant, gives target creature first strike until end of turn and draws a card, but no direct power boost.
2. Acrobatic Maneuver – White Instant, but not red, so not included.
3. Raking Claws – Instant, gives double strike (a related ability) until end of turn for {1}{R}.
4. Unleash Fury – Instant, doubles power but no first strike.

Closest red instant equivalents to Sure Strike are Raking Claws and Lightning Blow (which is white/red). There is no exact red instant with the same effect, but these are functionally similar. Sure Strike is among the best for its specific effect.


Reason: Red specializes in temporary power boosts and first/double strike effects.

  • After the creature returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the creature that was exiled. It won't be in combat or have any additional abilities it may have had before it was exiled. Any +1/+1 counters on it or Auras attached to it are removed, and any Equipment will no longer be attached.
  • If a creature token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

    Rules

  • If the targeted creature doesn’t have first strike, granting it first strike after combat damage has been dealt in the first combat damage step won’t prevent it from dealing combat damage. It will still assign and deal its combat damage in the second combat damage step.
  • You may target any creature, not just one that doesn’t have first strike. If the targeted creature already has first strike as Lightning Blow resolves, Lightning Blow won’t affect it (since multiple instances of first strike are redundant), but you’ll still draw a card at the beginning of the next turn’s upkeep.

    Double

    Rules

  • If an effect instructs you to "double" a creature's power, that creature gets +X/+0, where X is its power as that effect begins to apply. If its power is negative, instead it gets -X/-0 where X is how far below 0 its power is. The value of X won't change if another effect alters the creature's power later in the turn.
