"Find me cards equivalent to: Construct a Cosmic Cube"

Cards equivalent to Construct a Cosmic Cube (attributes: Enchantment, black, incremental counters, token generation, controlling opponent):
1. Mindslaver (Artifact, but colorless, not black) — Lets you control an opponent's turn.
2. Sen Triplets (Artifact Creature, Esper colors) — Lets you play opponents' cards, but not quite control them.
3. Peer into the Abyss (Black Sorcery) — Massive card draw effect, but no control component.
4. Archfiend of Depravity (Creature, black) — Forces opponents to sacrifice creatures, controlling board state.
5. Curiosity / Teferi’s Ageless Insight (Blue, not black) — Focus on card draw triggers.

Closest true equivalents in mono-black:

  • Mindslaver (closest to control effect)
  • Gonti, Lord of Luxury (steal and play a card from opponent)
  • Ogre Slumlord (black, creates tokens when creatures die, but not tied to card draw or plan counters)

Conclusion: There is no perfect mono-black equivalent that combines the token generation, incremental triggers, counters, and player control effect. Mindslaver is the closest for the control effect; Gonti, Lord of Luxury for black color and temporarily stealing cards.

    Rules

  • "You" refers to the controller of Curiosity, which may be different from the controller of the enchanted creature. "An opponent" refers to an opponent of Curiosity's controller.
  • Any damage dealt by the enchanted creature to an opponent will cause Curiosity to trigger, not just combat damage.
  • Curiosity doesn't trigger if the enchanted creature deals damage to a planeswalker or to a battle.
  • If you control Curiosity and it's enchanting an opponent's creature, you won't draw a card when that creature deals damage to you. The creature has to deal damage to one of your opponents for the ability to trigger.
  • You draw one card each time the enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, no matter how much damage it deals.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.
  • Casting the card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • Gonti doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • If you leave the game, the card remains exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at it.
  • You may look at and cast that card (and spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can't look at or cast the card, and you still can.
  • You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.
  • The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. Snow mana is not a type of mana. Gonti, Lord of Luxury won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.

    Deathtouch When Gonti enters, look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

    Rules

  • Controlling a player doesn't allow you to look at that player's sideboard. If an effect instructs that player to choose a card from outside the game, you can't have that player choose any card.
  • If the targeted player skips their next turn, you'll control the next turn the affected player actually takes.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, gaining control of a player causes you to gain control of each player on that team.
  • Multiple player-controlling effects that affect the same player overwrite each other. The last one to be created is the one that works.
  • The player you're controlling is still the active player during that turn.
  • While controlling another player, you also continue to make your own choices and decisions.
  • While controlling another player, you can see all cards in the game that player can see. This includes cards in that player's hand, face-down cards that player controls, and any cards in that player's library the player may look at.
  • While controlling another player, you make all choices and decisions that player is allowed to make or is told to make during that turn. This includes choices about what spells to cast or what abilities to activate, as well as any decisions called for by triggered abilities or for any other reason.
  • You also can't make any choices or decisions for the player that would be called for by the tournament rules (such as whether to take an intentional draw or whether to call a judge).
  • You can use only the affected player's resources (cards, mana, and so on) to pay costs for that player; you can't use your own. Similarly, you can use the affected player's resources only to pay that player's costs; you can't spend them on your costs.
  • You can't make any illegal decisions or illegal choices—you can't do anything that player couldn't do. You can't make choices or decisions for that player that aren't called for by the game rules or by any cards, permanents, spells, abilities, and so on. If an effect causes another player to make decisions that the affected player would normally make (such as Master Warcraft does), that effect takes precedence. In other words, if the affected player wouldn't make a decision, you wouldn't make that decision on that player's behalf.
  • You can't make the affected player concede. That player may choose to concede at any time, even while you're controlling that player.
  • You could gain control of yourself using Mindslaver, but gaining control of yourself doesn't really do anything.
  • You only control the player. You don't control any of that player's permanents, spells, or abilities.

  • The life lost is rounded up, not the remaining life total. For example, if the target player has 7 life, they lose 4 life and end up with 3. Similarly, the number of cards drawn is rounded up, not the number of cards remaining in the library.
  • To draw the cards, first the player determines how many cards to draw, then draws them. This event may be modified so that a different number of cards are actually drawn.

  • The target opponent can't activate any abilities, including mana abilities.
  • Triggered abilities use the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” They're often written as “[Trigger condition], [effect].” Triggered abilities are unaffected by Sen Triplets.
  • You can't activate abilities of cards in the target opponent's hand.
