"Find me cards equivalent to: Briarblade Adept"

Equivalent cards to Briarblade Adept (black, Elf Assassin, attack trigger with -1/-1, Encore) are limited, but here are some close options in black:
1. Stinkweed Imp — Black, recurring creature with graveyard interaction (Dredge), not an elf or assassin, no attack trigger.
2. Dusk Legion Zealot — Black, ETB trigger, not attack-based, Vampire Soldier.
3. Plague Spitter — Black, recurring -1/-1 for all creatures each upkeep, attack not required.
4. Injection Rig — Black, attacks as a trigger for -1/-1 on target, but is an artifact creature (from Unstable).
5. Briarblade Adept — The original card requested.
6. Shriekmaw — Black, ETB gives -1/-1 (actually destroy, not shrink), no attack trigger, Elemental, not Assassin or Elf.

Note:
No card is exactly equivalent (attack trigger giving -1/-1 to a target + Encore + Elf Assassin). The closest fit is Briarblade Adept itself. For -1/-1 attack triggers, Needle Specter can shrink hand size instead; for Encore, mostly found on unrelated card types in Commander Legends.

    Encore

    Rules

  • Each token must attack the appropriate player if able.
  • Exiling the card with encore is a cost to activate the ability. Once you announce that you're activating it, no player may take actions until you've finished. They can't try to remove the card from your graveyard to stop you from paying the cost.
  • If one of the tokens can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
  • If one of the tokens somehow is under another player's control as the delayed triggered ability resolves, you can't sacrifice that token. It remains on the battlefield indefinitely, even if you regain control of it later.
  • Opponents who have left the game aren't counted when determining how many tokens to create.
  • The tokens copy only what's on the original card. Effects that modified that creature when it was previously on the battlefield won't be copied.
  • If an effect stops a token from attacking a specific player, that token can attack any player, planeswalker, or battle, or not attack at all. If the effect stops the token from attacking a specific player unless a cost is paid, you don't have to pay that cost unless you want to attack that player.

    Evoke Fear

    Rules

  • If you pay the evoke cost, you can have Shriekmaw's own triggered ability resolve before the evoke triggered ability. You can cast spells after that ability resolves but before you have to sacrifice Shriekmaw.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an evoke cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

    Dredge Flying Mill

    Rules

  • Notably, Stinkweed Imp's ability isn't deathtouch. It's a triggered ability that triggers only on combat damage.
  • Dredge can replace any card draw, not only the one during your draw step.
  • If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.
  • If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was milled by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.
  • Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any actions until you've put that card into your hand and milled cards.
  • One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.
  • You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.
