"Find me cards equivalent to: Unexpected Fangs"

Cards equivalent to Unexpected Fangs (Instant, Black, puts +1/+1 and lifelink counter on a creature):
1. Unexpected Fangs – your searched card.
2. Defile – is a black instant but only gives -1/-1, not buffs or lifelink.
3. Grim Affliction – black instant, gives a -1/-1 counter and proliferates, not a direct equivalent.
4. Bladebrand – black instant, gives deathtouch, not +1/+1 or lifelink.
5. Feast of Blood – not instant; sorcery only.

Closest equivalent is Unexpected Fangs itself—there's currently no black instant that gives both a +1/+1 counter and a lifelink counter except it. Most black instants with similar effects only grant one or the other, or grant neither.

    Rules

  • If the targeted creature is an illegal target by the time Feast of Blood resolves, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. You don’t gain life.
  • Whether you control two or more Vampires is checked only as you try to move Feast of Blood to the stack as the first step of casting it. It doesn’t matter whether you still control two or more Vampires as you finish casting Feast of Blood (in case you somehow sacrifice one to produce mana) or as Feast of Blood resolves.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Proliferate

    Rules

  • You may choose the creature you put the -1/-1 counter on to get another -1/-1 counter when proliferating.
  • 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.
