"Find me cards equivalent to: Hired Torturer"

Cards equivalent to Hired Torturer should be black creatures with a repeatable ability that causes an opponent to lose life, often requiring tapping.

Similar cards:

  • Prodigal Sorcerer (but deals damage, and blue)
  • Fleshbag Marauder (not quite; different effect)
  • Royal Assassin (destroys tapped; not loss of life)

Closest black equivalents:

  • Glissa's Scorn (not a creature; just for reference)
  • Bloodrite Invoker (tap mana, opponent loses life)
  • Obsidian Fireheart (adds loss-of-life effect)
  • Thief of Blood (not a tapper, but loss-of-life through other means)

Best fit in black:

  • Bloodrite Invoker—tap 8 mana, target opponent loses 3 life.
  • Lurking Informant (blue/black)—tap, surveil rather than life loss.

Reason: Few black creatures tap to make opponent lose life directly; Bloodrite Invoker is closest.

    Rules

  • A land with a blaze counter on it is an illegal target for this ability. You may activate the ability targeting a land, then activate the ability in response to itself targeting the same land. Although the first ability to resolve will put a blaze counter on that land, the second ability to resolve won’t resolve.
  • As the reminder text indicates, whether the targeted land has the triggered ability that’s been granted to it depends only on whether it has a blaze counter on it, not on whether Obsidian Fireheart is still on the battlefield.
  • If a land ends up with more than one blaze counter on it (thanks to Doubling Season or Gilder Bairn, for example), the ability still only causes it to deal 1 damage to its controller each turn.
  • If all blaze counters on a land are moved to a different land, the triggered ability doesn’t follow them. The first land no longer has the ability because it no longer has a blaze counter on it. The second land doesn’t have the ability because Obsidian Fireheart didn’t target it.
  • The ability gained by the land triggers at the beginning of the upkeep of the land’s controller, not the beginning of the upkeep of Obsidian Fireheart’s controller. The player who controls the land at the time the ability triggers is the one who’s dealt damage.
