"Find me cards equivalent to: Malakir Familiar"

Equivalent cards to Malakir Familiar (must be black, have flying and deathtouch, and interact with life gain):
1. Gifted Aetherborn — Black, flying, deathtouch, lifelink.
Reason: Shares colors and deathtouch, though it lacks the flying/life-gain trigger, has lifelink instead.
2. Nightmare's Thirst — Not a creature, but cares about life gain in black.
3. Nighthawk Scavenger — Black, flying, deathtouch, lifelink, and power scales with graveyards.
Reason: Closest in ability (stats scaling and keywords), but doesn't specifically care about life gain.

Most black creatures don't combine flying, deathtouch, and life-gain triggers, so Malakir Familiar is somewhat unique. Let's summarize:

Relevant cards:

  • Malakir Familiar (your searched card)
  • Nighthawk Scavenger
  • Gifted Aetherborn

No strictly equivalent card exists, but Nighthawk Scavenger is closest.

    Deathtouch Flying

    Rules

  • A creature with lifelink dealing combat damage is a single life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, the ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won’t cause the ability to trigger, even though it causes your team’s life total to increase.
  • The ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it’s 1 life from Drana’s Emissary or 7 life from Nissa’s Renewal.

  • Card types that can appear on cards in a graveyard include artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, planeswalker, and sorcery. Legendary, basic, and snow are supertypes, not card types; Vampire and Rogue are subtypes, not card types.
  • Nighthawk Scavenger counts card types, not cards. If the only card in your opponents' graveyards is a single artifact creature card, Nighthawk Scavenger will be 3/3. If the only cards in those graveyards are ten artifact cards and ten creature cards, Nighthawk Scavenger will still be 3/3.
  • The ability that defines Nighthawk Scavenger's power applies in all zones, not just the battlefield.

  • If the target creature is an illegal target when Nightmare’s Thirst tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. You won’t gain 1 life.
  • Nightmare’s Thirst counts how much life you’ve gained this turn, not how much your life total changed. For example, if you’ve gained 5 life and lost 8 before Nightmare’s Thirst resolves, Nightmare’s Thirst has you gain 1 more life, then it gives the target creature -6/-6.
