AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Geralf's Messenger

Cards equivalent to Geralf's Messenger (black, undying, ETB drain/damage effects) include:

  • Murderous Rider (Lifeloss on ETB, comes back, removal effect)
  • Plaguecrafter (ETB forces sacrifice, black, but no undying)
  • Yahenni, Undying Partisan (has undying resilience)
  • Dreadhorde Butcher (if Grixis, similar recurring threat)

Closest is Strangleroot Geist (also undying, but green and deals damage to a player on ETB).


Reason: Black creatures with undying and ETB effects are rare; all above fit a similar recursion or ETB pressure role in Mono-Black.

  • As Plaguecrafter's ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature or planeswalker they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time. Next, each player in the same order who couldn't sacrifice a permanent chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then the chosen cards are discarded at the same time.
  • Each player chooses a permanent to sacrifice from among the creatures and planeswalkers they control. You don't choose which type of permanent any other player has to sacrifice.
  • Plaguecrafter can be the creature its controller sacrifices for its own ability.
