Looking for cards that do immediate damage to a creature when a creature enters the battlefield, like Aether Flash.
It is such a simple idea/trigger that there has to be at least another effect that does something similar. It has to deal damage upon a the creature entering the battlefield, not a landfall trigger, or an artifact coming into play, or a death trigger. HAS to be immediate unstoppable damage (outside of protection from said source).
If I can find at least two other cards (so a total of 12 cards that do this or something similar) then I can go through with a deck idea.
Unfortunately, similar effects usually refer to a creature entering under your control (Where Ancients Tread, Warstorm Surge), let the controller of that creature decide to deal damage and to what, and other issues.
A solution to get another Aether Flash effect would be to combine an untap trigger with an activated damage ability. Like a Midnight Guard or Sunstrike Legionnaire equipped with a Viridian Longbow. Or Intruder Alarm with any pinger like Viashino Fangtail. Flame-Kin War Scout has to be sacrificed to deal damage to the creature, but if you can bring it back automatically, like by being enchanted with Gift of Immortality, you have a repeatable damage source for creatures entering the battlefield. Though simply having a bunch of pingers on the field to be tapped for some damage to the creature right away is probably the easiest solution.

Any help would be appreciated.
