"Find me cards equivalent to: Stronghold Assassin"

Equivalent cards to Stronghold Assassin (black, creature, can sac to destroy others):

  • Shriekmaw: Creature, Black, can destroy nonartifact, nonblack creatures (comes with evoke/sac option).
  • Merciless Executioner: Creature, Black, each player sacrifices a creature when it enters.
  • Slum Reaper: Creature, Black, same as above.
  • Dimir House Guard: Creature, Black, has sacrifice ability for regenerate (not destroy).
  • Vampire Hexmage: Creature, Black, sacrifice to remove counters (not destroy creatures directly).

Closest direct functional matches are Shriekmaw, but none do exactly what Stronghold Assassin does with the tap + sac to destroy a nonblack creature. Stronghold Assassin remains unique.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Evoke Fear

    Rules

  • If you pay the evoke cost, you can have Shriekmaw's own triggered ability resolve before the evoke triggered ability. You can cast spells after that ability resolves but before you have to sacrifice Shriekmaw.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an evoke cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

    Rules

  • As Slum Reaper’s ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
  • If any player controls no creatures, that player simply doesn’t sacrifice anything. Each other player still sacrifices a creature.
  • Slum Reaper may be the creature its controller sacrifices for its own ability.
