5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Essence Infusion

Equivalent cards to Essence Infusion (black, +1/+1 counters, and lifelink) include:

  • Unnatural Endurance (Gives +1/+0, indestructible, and is instant)
  • Boon of Erebos (Gives +2/+0, indestructible, and is instant)
  • Dread Presence (Black, but interacts with lifegain and creatures when Swamps enter)
  • Vampire's Kiss (Gives lifelink temporarily, but not +1/+1 counters)

Closest are spells that grant lifelink and/or pump and are black. None gives exactly the same combo of counters and lifelink, but these are similar in color and effect.


Reason: There are few black spells that put counters and grant lifelink at sorcery speed, so we look for similar effects in black.

    Blood

    Rules

  • If the target player is an illegal target as this spell tries to resolve, you won't gain 2 life and won't create any Blood tokens.
  • If an effect refers to a Blood token, it means any artifact token with the subtype Blood, even if it has gained other subtypes.
  • Some spells that instruct you to create a Blood token require targets. You can't cast these spells without choosing all required targets, and if all of those targets become illegal targets, the spell won't resolve and you won't create any Blood tokens. If some but not all of those targets become illegal, you'll do as much as possible, including creating Blood tokens.
  • Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.
  • You can't sacrifice a Blood token to pay multiple costs.
