There's a cycle of instants and sorceries in New Phyrexia that have an effect and adds at the end a loss of life to the targeted player or the targeted permanent's controller: Vapor Snag, Geth's Verdict, Victorious Destruction and Glissa's Scorn.
Or, at least I think it's a cycle. Problem is, I can't find the white one! Is there one, and I'm missing it? Was this lack of symmetry intentional by WotC? |

These aren't a cycle per se. Note the fifth one:
It's more that "loses 1 life" (or "gets a poison counter") was seen as an easy thing to tack onto staple effects to make them feel more "Phyrexian". |

The thing is, "controller loses 1 life" isn't really a white thing to do. If I were to choose a common instant/sorcery in white to fit into the cycle, I would choose War Report.
Instead of "hating" something and then having the controller lose life, White "loves" something (creatures and artifacts) and has the caster gain life. Yeah, not a perfect fit, but rather the counterpoint of the other 4 colour cycle. |
