4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Nighthowler

Equivalent cards to Nighthowler in black include:

  • Eater of Hope (also benefits from creatures in graveyards, but with different effects)
  • Bane of the Living (morph and mass -X/-X effect, cares about creatures on board)
  • Mortivore (p/t equal to number of creature cards in graveyards, same as Nighthowler but only self)

None match Nighthowler’s bestow ability exactly, but Mortivore is the closest for black decks—power/toughness scale with creature cards in graveyards.

    Rules

  • The X in the ability has the same value as the X paid in the Morph ability. This is pretty easy to derive since there is no other source of X.
  • The trigger occurs when you use the Morph ability to turn the card face up, or when an effect turns it face up. It will not trigger on being revealed or on leaving the battlefield.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Bestow

    Rules

  • Auras attached to a creature don't become tapped when the creature becomes tapped. Except in some rare cases, an Aura with bestow remains untapped when it becomes unattached and becomes a creature.
  • If a permanent with bestow enters the battlefield by any method other than being cast, it will be an enchantment creature. You can't choose to pay the bestow cost and have it become an Aura.
  • Nighthowler's last ability functions only from the battlefield. In other zones, Nighthowler is a 0/0 enchantment creature.
  • On the stack, a spell with bestow is either a creature spell or an Aura spell. It's never both, although it's an enchantment spell in either case.
  • Unlike other Aura spells, an Aura spell with bestow isn't countered if its target is illegal as it begins to resolve. Rather, the effect making it an Aura spell ends, it loses enchant creature, it returns to being an enchantment creature spell, and it resolves and enters the battlefield as an enchantment creature.
  • Unlike other Auras, an Aura with bestow isn't put into its owner's graveyard if it becomes unattached. Rather, the effect making it an Aura ends, it loses enchant creature, and it remains on the battlefield as an enchantment creature. It can attack (and its {T} abilities can be activated, if it has any) on the turn it becomes unattached if it's been under your control continuously, even as an Aura, since your most recent turn began.
