"Find me cards equivalent to: Mardu Shadowspear"

Equivalent cards to Mardu Shadowspear (black creatures, attack/life loss, dash):

1. Lightning Berserker (red, but dash mechanic, not life loss; closest dash option)
2. Reckless Imp (black, dash, flying, no life loss)
3. Foul-Tongue Shriek (black, causes life loss when creatures attack, but it's not a creature)
4. Judith's Scorn (not a creature but black, similar effect on attack life loss)
5. Gonti's Machinations (black, life loss theme, not a creature)

Closest black creature matches:

  • Reckless Imp (dash, not life loss)
  • Bloodthirsty Aerialist (life theme, no dash)

Conclusion:
There isn’t a direct black creature with both dash and attack-triggered life loss like Mardu Shadowspear. The most similar is Reckless Imp (black, dash), but for life loss on attack in black, look at cards like Gutterbones (not an exact match but black and aggressive).


Reason:
Dash is rarely seen on black creatures; most dash creatures are red or black-red, and triggered life loss on attack is uncommon together with dash in mono-black.

    Rules

  • Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Bloodthirsty Aerialist's ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
  • If Bloodthirsty Aerialist is dealt lethal damage at the same time that you gain life, it won't receive a counter from its ability in time to save it.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause the ability to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.
  • The ability of Bloodthirsty Aerialist triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Impassioned Orator or 4 life from Dawning Angel. If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something or "equal to the number" of something, that life is gained as one event and the ability of Bloodthirsty Aerialist triggers only once.

    Energy Reserve

    Rules

  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Gonti's Machinations's second ability causes the opposing team to lose a total of 6 life.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, damage and life loss happen to individual players, and the result affects the team's life total. Combat damage is assigned and dealt to specific players. If your teammate is dealt damage or otherwise loses life, Gonti's Machinations doesn't trigger, even though your life total went down.
  • The triggered ability gives you at most one energy counter each turn, regardless of how much life you lost.
  • Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
  • Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.
  • If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.
  • If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.
  • Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)
  • Some spells and abilities that give you {E} may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any {E}.
  • Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.
  • Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.
  • {E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

    Dash

    Rules

  • If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of or becomes a copy of a creature whose dash cost was paid, the copy won't have haste and won't be returned to its owner's hand.
  • If you choose to pay the dash cost rather than the mana cost, you're still casting the spell. It goes on the stack and can be responded to and countered. You can cast a creature spell for its dash cost only when you otherwise could cast that creature spell. Most of the time, this means during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • If you pay the dash cost to cast a creature spell, that card will be returned to its owner's hand only if it's still on the battlefield when its triggered ability resolves. If it dies or goes to another zone before then, it will stay where it is.
  • You don't have to attack with the creature with dash unless another ability says you do.
