"Find me cards equivalent to: Vital Surge"

Cards equivalent to Vital Surge (Instant, Green, Life gain, Splice onto Arcane):
1. Lifespinner’s Intervention — {2}{G} Instant: Gain 3 life.
2. Blessed Breath — {W} Instant — Arcane: Prevent all damage to a creature, splice onto Arcane {1}{W}. (White, but has Splice.)
3. Rootrunner has Splice onto Arcane, but is not an instant or life gain.
4. Reweave — {5}{U} Instant — Arcane, with Splice onto Arcane, but no life gain.

Closest green matching card is just Vital Surge itself. Most green Arcane instants do not gain life or offer Splice onto Arcane—this effect is unique.

Short reason: Green splice-on-life-gain spells are rare, Vital Surge is nearly unique.

    Splice

    Rules

  • A card with a splice ability can’t be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
  • If all of the spell’s targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word “target” on the resulting spell.
  • You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.

    Splice

    Rules

  • When Reweave resolves it uses the type(s) that the permanent had right before it was sacrificed.
  • The player reveals cards only if the targeted permanent gets sacrificed.
  • With the introduction of the kindred type it became possible for an instant or sorcery card to share a type with the sacrificed permanent (ie, a kindred instant card shares a type with a kindred enchantment card). Reweave has received errata so that the effect looks for a *permanent* card that shares a type with the sacrificed permanent. A permanent card is a card that could be put onto the battlefield, which is any card that isn't an instant or sorcery.
  • A card with a splice ability can't be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
  • If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word "target" on the resulting spell.
  • You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
