"Find me cards equivalent to: Marshland Bloodcaster"

Marshland Bloodcaster lets you pay life instead of mana for a spell, which is a rare ability. Here are some black creatures with similar cast for life or cheat-casting effects:
1. Vilis, Broker of Blood — Draws for life loss, not quite the same but strong life payment synergy.
2. Dark Confidant — Pays life to draw cards, helps with card advantage.
3. Griselbrand — Draws cards for life.
4. Razaketh, the Foulblooded — Pays life by sacrificing creatures to tutor cards.
5. Demon of Death's Gate — Cast by paying life and sacrificing creatures instead of mana.

Closest to actual casting for life:

  • Marshland Bloodcaster (your entry)
  • Doomsday Specter (cheats a cost, but for a bounce effect)

There is no direct black creature replacement for exactly paying life instead of a spell’s mana cost, but these are the closest in color and effect.

    Rules

  • Even after the ability resolves, you may choose to not pay life rather than pay mana cost of the next spell you cast that turn. However, if you do this, you won't have the opportunity to pay life for any other spells you cast that turn (unless you activate the ability again).
  • If the next spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X if you pay life rather than pay its mana cost.
  • If you cast a spell for another cost "rather than pay its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Draconic Intervention, those must be paid to cast the card.
  • Marshland Bloodcaster's ability affects the next spell you cast after the ability has resolved. If you cast any spells in response to the ability, those spells are cast as normal.
