"Find me cards equivalent to: Crabomination"

Cards equivalent to Crabomination (black, artifact sacrifice, exile/cast effects, enters-the-battlefield):
1. Gonti, Lord of Luxury — ETB, exile top four of opponent's library, cast one.
2. Hostage Taker — ETB, exile artifact/creature, may cast it.
3. The Scorpion God — black demon with versatile effects, but not an exile/cast.
4. Sire of Stagnation — not exactly black, but exile off opponent’s library and advantage on ETB.
5. Mindclaw Shaman — ETB, cast instant or sorcery from opponent's hand (red, not black, but similar effect).

Closest true equivalents are Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Hostage Taker for black ETB exile/cast effects. None match Emerge/artifact sacrifice exactly in black.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Emerge

    Rules

  • An artifact's mana value is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner (unless that artifact is the back face of a double-faced card, is a melded permanent, or is copying something else; see below). If the mana cost includes {X}, X is 0. If it's a single-faced card with no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's an animated land, for example), its mana value is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) that were paid as the artifact was cast.
  • Colored mana components of emerge costs can't be reduced with emerge.
  • Crabomination's triggered ability doesn't allow you to play land cards, and as such, any land cards exiled with Crabomination's triggered ability will remain in exile. If you choose not to cast any of the exiled nonland cards (either because you can't or don't want to), those cards will remain in exile as well.
  • Emerge from artifact is a variant of the emerge ability. It allows you to sacrifice an artifact rather than a creature, but otherwise functions identically to emerge.
  • If you cast a spell for another cost "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it.
  • Once you begin to cast a spell with emerge, no player may take actions until you're done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the permanent you wish to sacrifice.
  • The artifact chosen to be sacrificed is still on the battlefield up through the time that you activate mana abilities. Its abilities may affect the spell's cost, be activated to generate mana, and so on. However, if it has an ability that triggers when a spell is cast, it will have been sacrificed before that ability can trigger.
  • The mana value of a creature spell with emerge isn't affected by whether its emerge cost is paid. For example, if you cast Crabomination for its emerge cost and sacrifice an artifact whose mana value is 3, Crabomination's mana value remains 6.
  • The mana value of the back face of a double-faced card is the mana value of its front face. The mana value of a melded permanent is the sum of the mana values of its front faces. An artifact that's a copy of either has a mana value of 0.
  • The spell you cast without paying its mana cost is cast during the resolution of Crabomination's triggered ability. Timing restrictions of that spell based on card type are ignored.
  • You choose whether or not to cast one of the exiled cards as Crabomination's triggered ability resolves. If you do, you do so as part of the resolution of that ability. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card's type are ignored.
  • You may sacrifice an artifact with a mana value of 0, such as a Food token, to cast Crabomination for its emerge cost. You'll just pay the full emerge cost with no reduction.
  • You may sacrifice an artifact with mana value greater than or equal to the emerge cost. If you do, you'll pay only the colored mana component of the emerge cost.

    Emerge from artifact (You may cast this spell by sacrificing an artifact and paying the emerge cost reduced by that artifact's mana value.) When this creature enters, target opponent exiles the top card of their library, a card at random from their graveyard, and a card at random from their hand. You may cast a spell from among cards exiled this way without paying its mana cost.

    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

  • Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.
  • Hostage Taker has received errata to prevent it from targeting itself. The correct Oracle wording appears above.
  • If Hostage Taker leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the target permanent won't be exiled.
  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield. You can't cast it.
  • If it's still in exile, the exiled card returns to the battlefield immediately after Hostage Taker leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions.
  • In a multiplayer game, if Hostage Taker's owner leaves the game while the card is still exiled and another player owns that card, the exiled card will return to the battlefield under its owner's control. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn't an ability that goes on the stack, it won't cease to exist along with the leaving player's spells and abilities on the stack.
  • In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any spell or permanent cards you control from Hostage Taker's ability are exiled.
  • Once you begin to cast the exiled card, it's considered a new object. You'll control that spell and the permanent that spell becomes even if Hostage Taker leaves the battlefield.

    Rules

  • Any player can respond to Mindclaw Shaman’s triggered ability. However, once that ability starts resolving and the target opponent reveals their hand, players can’t respond until after the ability finishes resolving. For example, the opponent can’t cast the instant or sorcery card you choose to cast in order to stop you from casting it.
  • If the card has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.
  • If you can’t cast any instant or sorcery card (perhaps because there are no legal targets available) or if you choose not to cast one, then Mindclaw Shaman’s ability finishes resolving and the game moves on.
  • If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the card has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • The card goes to its owner’s graveyard after it resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), not yours.
  • You cast the card from the opponent’s hand immediately. Ignore timing restrictions based on the card’s type. Other timing restrictions, such as “Cast [this card] only during combat,” must be followed.

    Devoid

    Rules

  • A card with devoid is just colorless. It’s not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.
  • Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.
  • Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
  • If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object’s color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.
  • If that player has one card in their library when Sire of Stagnation’s triggered ability resolves, that card will be exiled. If their library has zero cards, no cards are exiled. In both cases, you’ll still draw two cards. That player won’t lose the game (until they attempt to draw a card from an empty library).
  • Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it’s just the new color, not that color and colorless.
  • The cards are exiled from the library face up.
