"Find me cards equivalent to: Acererak the Archlich"

Equivalent black Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard cards with similar recursion, dungeon, or token creation mechanics:
1. Josu Vess, Lich Knight — Also a legendary black zombie; creates many zombie tokens with its kicker.
2. Gisa and Geralf — Legendary black zombies; lets you cast Zombie cards from your graveyard.
3. Varina, Lich Queen — Legendary Zombie Wizard in Esper but includes black, creates Zombie tokens.
4. Acererak the Archlich — Your searched card; recurring and ventures into dungeons.


Reason: All are black Legendary Zombie Wizards or have similar recursion/token creation themes. None repeat the dungeon effect exactly, but Josu Vess, Lich Knight is closest for token creation, and Gisa and Geralf for recursion.

    Zombie Dungeon Of The Mad Mage Lost Mine Of Phandelver Tomb Of Annihilation

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Acererak the Archlich has an intervening if clause in its first triggered ability. If you have completed Tomb of Annihilation, the ability won't trigger at all. If it does trigger, but you somehow complete Tomb of Annihilation while the ability is on the stack, then the ability won't do anything. You won't return Acererak to its owner's hand and you won't venture into the dungeon.
  • If Acererak is no longer on the battlefield as its first ability resolves and you haven't completed Tomb of Annihilation, you will still venture into the dungeon.
  • In a multiplayer game, each opponent decides in turn order whether or not they will sacrifice a creature and which one they will sacrifice. Each opponent knows the choices made before they make their own choice. Then, once all opponents have chosen, creatures are sacrificed and tokens are created simultaneously.

    Rules

  • If a Zombie card is put into your graveyard during your main phase and the stack is empty, you have a chance to cast it before any player may attempt to remove that card from your graveyard.
  • If multiple effects allow you to cast a Zombie creature spell from your graveyard, such as those of Gisa and Geralf and Karador, Ghost Chieftain, you must announce which permission you’re using as you begin to cast the spell.
  • If you cast one Zombie creature spell from your graveyard and then have a new Gisa and Geralf come under your control in the same turn, you may cast another Zombie creature spell from your graveyard that turn.
  • Once you begin to cast the Zombie spell, losing control of Gisa and Geralf won’t affect the spell.
  • You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions of the Zombie spell you cast from your graveyard.
  • You must pay the costs to cast that Zombie spell. If it has an alternative cost, you may cast it for that cost instead.

    Kicker Menace

    Rules

  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
