"Find me cards equivalent to: Wail of the Forgotten"

Equivalent cards to Wail of the Forgotten (Sorcery, Black/Blue, choose modes, with descend or graveyard matters):
1. Cryptic Command (U U U B for this purpose, Instant, Modal: can bounce, draw, or counter, but not exactly graveyard-based)
2. Esper Charm (W U B, Instant: choose draw, discard, or destroy enchantment. Multi-mode, but not graveyard-conditional)
3. Collective Brutality (1B, Sorcery: escalate lets you choose more modes: discard, -2/-2, destroy artifact. Graveyard synergy, but not exactly the same)
4. Soul Manipulation (1U B, Instant: return creature/creature counter, modal and BG synergy)
5. Dream Salvage (U B, Instant: Draw cards equal to number discarded this turn; focused on discard)

Cryptic Command and Esper Charm are the closest as modal spells in these colors, but none directly use descend, which is a unique new mechanic. They match color and modes control.

    Escalate

    Rules

  • Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.
  • Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.
  • If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.
  • If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.
  • If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
  • You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.
  • You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.

    Escalate—Discard a card. (Pay this cost for each mode chosen beyond the first.) Choose one or more — • Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose an instant or sorcery card from it. That player discards that card. • Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn. • Target opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

    Rules

  • Look at both chosen modes to determine how many targets Cryptic Command has, if any. If it has at least one target, and all its targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, then it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. For example, if you choose the second and fourth modes, and the permanent is an illegal target when Cryptic Command tries to resolve, you won’t draw a card.
  • You choose both modes as you cast Cryptic Command. You must choose two different modes.

  • If this spell is copied, the copy will have the same mode as the original.
  • While the spell is on the stack, treat it as though its only text is the chosen mode. The other two modes are treated as though they don’t exist. You don’t choose targets for those modes.
  • You can choose a mode only if you can choose legal targets for that mode. If you can’t choose legal targets for any of the modes, you can’t cast the spell.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Cards with the ability word "descend N" have abilities that care if you have at least N permanent cards in your graveyard.
  • If all targets for the chosen modes become illegal before Wail of the Forgotten resolves, the spell will be countered and none of its effects will happen. If at least one target is still legal, the spell will resolve but will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • Some descend triggered abilities include intervening "if" clauses (i.e. "if you have [four or eight] permanent cards in your graveyard" in the middle of the ability). Each of these abilities checks your graveyard at the moment it would trigger to see if it does. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability doesn't trigger at all. If it does trigger, it will check again as it tries to resolve. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.

    Descend 8 — Choose one. If there are eight or more permanent cards in your graveyard as you cast this spell, choose one or more instead. • Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand. • Target opponent discards a card. • Look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard.
