"Find me cards equivalent to: Swordsman, Sharp Scoundrel"

Equivalent cards to Swordsman, Sharp Scoundrel (Legendary, Human, Villain, Black, interacts with Equipment, cares about attack triggers, connive):
1. Greven, Predator Captain

  • Color: Black/Red, Legendary, cares about equipment, triggers on attacking.

  • Reason: Synergizes with equipment and gains benefits when attacking.
    2. Koll, the Forgemaster
  • Color: Red/White, but NOT black. Relevant for Equipment, so not equivalent by color.
    3. Neyali, Suns' Vanguard
  • Color: Red/White, not black.
    4. Leonin Shikari
  • Color: White.

Closest in mono-black, Legendary, Human, equipment-interacting:

  • Kels, Fight Fixer
  • Color: Black, Legendary, Human; cares about sacrificing and card draw (thematic overlap).

  • Reason: Shares color, type, some synergy with creatures entering/dying and card draw.

Best matching:

  • Swordsman, Sharp Scoundrel (your searched card)
  • Greven, Predator Captain (most similar by mechanics, though is BR and not mono-B).

Conclusion:
No existing Black-only Legendary Human directly matches both the Equipment and connive attack triggers, but Greven, Predator Captain is most equivalent in functionality.

    Rules

  • A player loses life if they're dealt damage or if they pay life.
  • Greven checks for how much life you lost, not how much your life total has changed. If you lost 4 life but also gained 6 life, you still lost 4 life and Greven gets +4/+0.
  • The sacrificed creature's power and toughness are determined by its last known information before it left the battlefield.
  • You sacrifice a creature (or choose not to), draw cards, and lose life all while Greven's triggered ability is resolving. Nothing can happen in between, and no player may choose to take actions.

    Rules

  • A legendary permanent that is put into a graveyard because of the "legend rule" isn't sacrificed.
  • If you sacrifice Kels, its middle ability triggers. It also triggers for any other creatures you sacrifice at the same time. You can sacrifice Kels to pay the cost of its own ability.
  • If you sacrifice a permanent as part of a spell or activated ability's cost, Kels's middle ability will resolve before that spell or ability.
  • Kels's middle ability is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn't allow you to sacrifice a permanent whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of sacrificing permanents, such as Kels's last ability.
  • While resolving Kels's middle ability, you can't pay {U/B} more than once to draw more than one card.
  • You can activate Kels's last ability even if nothing's about to destroy it and even if it already has indestructible.

    Rules

  • Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • Neyali's effect doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • The card Neyali exiles is exiled face up.
  • The effect allowing you to cast the exiled card if you attacked with a token continues to apply even if Neyali leaves the battlefield or another player gains control of it. It also continues to apply during later turns—as long as you attacked with a token during those later turns.
  • The second ability of Neyali, Suns' Vanguard triggers for each player you are attacking with one or more tokens. It does not trigger if you are attacking a planeswalker a player controls, but not that player.
  • You can cast the exiled card if the token that attacked is still in combat, if it's left combat, if it's left the battlefield, or even if combat is over.
