"Find me cards equivalent to: Barrow Ghoul"

Cards equivalent to Barrow Ghoul (Creature — Zombie, Black, graveyard-to-exile upkeep cost):
1. Necrazyr (Black, Creature — Zombie), forces you to exile creature cards from graveyard to keep it around.
2. Helldozer (Black, Creature — Zombie), has upkeep costs related to graveyard manipulation (sacrifice a land or destroy).
3. Screeching Skaab (Blue, Creature — Zombie), mills cards to the grave, but doesn't require ongoing exile costs.
4. Fiend Artisan (Green/Black, Creature — Nightmare), uses graveyard, but color diverges from mono-black. Only list for reference.

Closest black, self-maintenance Zombies with graveyard/exile upkeep effect:

  • Barrow Ghoul is unique in requiring you to exile the top creature card to keep it alive; most others only use sacrifice or other graveyard synergy.

Short
Reason: Barrow Ghoul has a very specific upkeep requiring graveyard exile for survival; other zombies usually care about sacrifice, not exiling from your graveyard. No exact mono-black equivalents with the same mechanic exist.

    Rules

  • If an effect or rule puts two or more cards into the same graveyard at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.
  • If the creature is no longer on the battlefield when the ability resolves, you may still perform the action if you want.
  • Players may not rearrange the cards in their graveyards. This is a little-known rule because new cards that care about graveyard order haven’t been printed in years.
  • Say you’re the owner of both a permanent and an Aura that’s attached to it. If both the permanent and the Aura are destroyed at the same time (by Akroma’s Vengeance, for example), you decide the order they’re put into your graveyard. If just the enchanted permanent is destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard first. Then, after state-based actions are checked, the Aura (which is no longer attached to anything) is put into your graveyard on top of it.
  • The last thing that happens to a resolving instant or sorcery spell is that it’s put into its owner’s graveyard. —Example: You cast Wrath of God. All creatures on the battlefield are destroyed. You arrange all the cards put into your graveyard this way in any order you want. The other players in the game do the same to the cards that are put into their graveyards. Then you put Wrath of God into your graveyard, on top of the other cards.
  • The “top” card of your graveyard is the card that was put there most recently.
  • When the ability resolves, you choose whether to sacrifice the creature or perform the other action. If you can’t perform the other action, then you must sacrifice the creature.

    Rules

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to Fiend Artisan may become lethal if creature cards leave your graveyard during that turn.
  • Fiend Artisan's first ability applies only while it's on the battlefield.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
