AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Cryptborn Horror

Equivalent cards to Cryptborn Horror (Rakdos colors, cares about life loss/damage, scales in power):

  • Death's Shadow (Black, gets bigger with lower life)
  • Nyxathid (Black, scales with opponents' hand size—not life, but similar threat)
  • Master of Cruelties (Rakdos, life-loss theme, powerful threat)
  • Emberwilde Augur (Red, sacrifices for life loss, but doesn't scale in size)


Reason: There are few exact matches—most scale with life total or similar effects. Death's Shadow is the closest in color and scaling threat.

  • Cryptborn Horror cares about the total life lost, not necessarily what an opponent's life total is compared to what it was at the beginning of the turn. For example, if an opponent loses 5 life and then gains 10 life on the turn Cryptborn Horror enters, it will enter with five +1/+1 counters on it.
  • If no opponent has lost life on the turn Cryptborn Horror enters, it will enter with no +1/+1 counters on it and be put into its owner's graveyard (unless something else is raising its toughness).
  • In multiplayer games, life lost the turn Cryptborn Horror enters by opponents who left the game later that turn will count toward the value of X.
  • Remember, damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life (unless the source has infect).

  • If your life total is negative, X is considered to be 0.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, your life total is your team's life total.
  • The value of X changes as you gain and lose life. It's not locked in as Death's Shadow enters the battlefield.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
  • Assigning no combat damage isn't the same as preventing that damage. Effects that make damage unpreventable will have no effect if no combat damage can be assigned.
  • For a player's life total to become 1, what actually happens is that the player loses (or in some rare cases, gains) the appropriate amount of life. For example, if the player's life total is 4 when the last ability resolves, it will cause that player to lose 3 life. Other effects that interact with life loss (or gain) will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • If Master of Cruelties attacks alone, another creature entering the battlefield attacking will have no effect on it. Master of Cruelties continues to be an attacking creature. The other attacking creature will assign combat damage normally, regardless of whether Master of Cruelties's last ability triggers.
  • Master of Cruelties isn't forced to attack, but if it does, it must do so alone. If you control another creature with an ability that says it must attack if able, that creature must attack and Master of Cruelties won't be able to.
  • Master of Cruelties's last ability won't trigger if it attacks a planeswalker or a battle.

    Nyxathid #259 Creature — Elemental

    Saltiness:

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability causes the chosen player to draw cards and then discard cards, Nyxathid's power and toughness changes accordingly as that spell or ability is resolving. For example, if the chosen player has five cards in hand and a spell causes that player to draw two cards then discard two cards, Nyxathid will start out as 2/2, then become 1/1, 0/0, and finally 2/2. This is because cards are always drawn one at a time, but multiple cards may be discarded at once. Although Nyxathid momentarily had 0 toughness while that spell was resolving, it isn't put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action because state-based actions aren't checked until the spell has finished resolving.
  • In a multiplayer game, if the chosen player leaves the game, Nyxathid's second ability simply won't do anything anymore.
  • Nyxathid tracks the hand size of the chosen player even if that player ceases to be an opponent of its controller. (This could happen if that player gains control of Nyxathid, for example.)
  • Nyxathid's two abilities are linked: The second one refers only to the player chosen by the first one. If another creature becomes a copy of Nyxathid (due to Mirrorweave, for example), the second ability won't do anything because a player was never chosen as a result of the first ability. This is true even if a different ability allowed a player to be chosen as that creature entered.
