"Find me cards equivalent to: Red Room Recruit"

Equivalent cards in Black (B) with enter-the-battlefield connive effects, similar to Red Room Recruit, include:

  • Aven Heartstabber (connives when another Creature dies)
  • Echo Inspector (connives when it enters, but is blue, not black)
  • Obscura Interceptor (connives when it enters, but is white/blue/black)

However, the exact match for Black with enters and connives is limited. Red Room Recruit remains the primary black card with this specific mechanic. Closest in spirit:

  • Undercity Scrounger (black, similar graveyard/artifact trigger, but not connive)
  • Psychatog (not connive, but manipulates hand/graveyard, blue/black)

Short answer: No exact black equivalent for Red Room Recruit with connive-on-enter. Red Room Recruit is the main option.

  • If you have five or more mana values among cards in your graveyard and then some of them are removed such that you have fewer than five mana values among those cards, Aven Heartstabber loses its bonus to power and toughness. Notably, this may cause it to die if it now has damage marked on it greater than its toughness.
  • The mana value of a double-faced card in your graveyard is always the mana value of the front face.
  • The mana value of a land card is 0.
  • The mana value of a split card in the graveyard is the total mana value of both halves of that card. It does not have two mana values.
  • X is 0 when determining the mana value of a card in your graveyard.
  • “Five or more mana values among cards in your graveyard” means there are at least five different mana values among those cards.

    Connive Flying

    Rules

  • If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to connive but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still connives. If you discard a nonland card this way, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything. Abilities that trigger “when [that creature] connives” will trigger.
  • If no card is discarded, most likely because that player's hand is empty and an effect says they can't draw cards, the conniving creature does not receive a +1/+1 counter.
  • Once an ability that causes a creature to connive begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the conniving creature after you discard a nonland card but before it receives a counter.
