AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Acolyte of Xathrid

Cards equivalent to Acolyte of Xathrid (black, 1-drop, tap to drain life) include:

  • Cabal Surgeon (tap ability, black, CMC 2, but similar flavor)
  • Festering Mummy (black, CMC 1, also a cheap utility creature)
  • Child of Night (black, CMC 2, lifelink for repeated life gain)
  • Royal Assassin (black, tap ability, but destroys creatures—CMV and color match, tap effect utility)


Reason: True equivalents (black, inexpensive, utility tap creatures) are rare. Most tap-to-drain-life effects cost more mana or are spells like Drain Life (sorcery, not a creature).

    Spend only black mana on X. Drain Life deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more life than the player's life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker's loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature's toughness.
