"Find me cards equivalent to: Baron Strucker, HYDRA Overlord"

Equivalent cards to Baron Strucker, HYDRA Overlord (Black, Legendary, cost reduction or connive for Villains):
1. Heartless Summoning — Black enchantment, all creature spells cost {2} less and creatures get -1/-1 (cost reduction).
2. K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth — Legendary black creature, lets you pay life instead of black mana for black spells (cost manipulation).
3. Ertai, Resurrected — Legendary black/blue creature, has card draw/discard but not connive exactly.
4. Twilight Prophet — Legendary black creature, card draw engine with extra effects, not connive but similar payoff.

None have the exact connive synergy, but these are the closest in mono-black to cost-reduction, card draw, or synergy with specific creature types. Baron Strucker, HYDRA Overlord is still unique in combining these for Villains.

    Lifelink

    Rules

  • If a cost contains a mana symbol that may be paid in multiple ways, such as {B/R}, {B/P}, or {2/B}, you choose how you'll pay it before you do so. If you choose to pay {B} this way, K'rrik's ability allows you to pay life rather than pay that mana.
  • K'rrik's ability doesn't modify or reduce costs you pay. It changes only how you may pay those costs.
  • K'rrik's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • You can't pay 2 life to pay for generic mana in costs you pay, even if an effect says that you must spend black mana to pay that generic mana.
  • A Phyrexian mana symbol contributes 1 toward the mana value of a card, even if life is paid for it. Specifically, K'rrik's mana value is always 7.
  • K'rrik's ability lets you pay 2 life for {B} in any cost you pay, including the mana costs of spells, activation costs, and even costs for special actions (such as morph). Any time you pay mana, that's a cost.

    City's Blessing

    Abilities/Keywords

    Ascend Flying

    Rules

  • A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren't permanents.
  • Ascend on a permanent isn't a triggered ability and doesn't use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can't respond to getting the city's blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can't respond before you get the city's blessing.
  • If the mana cost of the revealed card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.
  • If the revealed card doesn't have a mana cost (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.
  • If you cast a spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city's blessing.
  • If you control ten permanents but don't control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won't have the city's blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.
  • If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the "Legend Rule" or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city's blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Twilight Prophet's last ability causes the opposing team to lose twice X life and you gain X life.
  • Once you have the city's blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city's blessing isn't a permanent itself and can't be removed by any effect.
  • Some cards have triggered abilities with an intervening "if" clause that checks whether you have the city's blessing. These are worded "[Trigger condition], if you have the city's blessing, [effect]." You must already have the city's blessing in order for these abilities to trigger; otherwise they do nothing. In other words, there's no way to have the ability trigger if you don't have the city's blessing, even if you intend to get it in response to the triggered ability.
  • The mana value of a split card, such as cards with aftermath from the Amonkhet block, is based on the combined mana cost of its two halves.

    Flying Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.) At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have the city's blessing, reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. Each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is that card's mana value.
