AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Swallowing Plague

Cards equivalent to Swallowing Plague (same color: Black, effect: variable X damage, lifegain):
1. Tendrils of Corruption – Deals damage to a creature, gain life equal to damage, but scales with Swamps not X.
2. Corrupt – Similar, but X equals number of Swamps.
3. Draining Whelk (not mono-black, but drains and counters; not as close).
4. Sorin's Thirst – Fixed 2 damage and 2 life, not X.

    Rules

  • The swamps are counted on resolution.
  • The amount of damage dealt to a creature is not bounded by its toughness, and the amount of damage dealt to a player is not bounded by that player's life total. For example, if Corrupt deals 6 damage to a 2/2 creature, you'll gain 6 life.
  • The life you gain is equal to the damage dealt by Corrupt, not necessarily to the number of Swamps you control (if some or all of the damage is prevented, for example).
  • Corrupt counts any land you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.
  • Corrupt counts any land you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.

    Flash Flying

    Rules

  • Draining Whelk's ability counters the target spell even if you can't put counters on Draining Whelk, most likely because Draining Whelk left the battlefield before the ability resolved.
  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.
  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Draining Whelk's ability tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't put any counters on Draining Whelk. If the target is legal but the spell can't be countered, you do put counters on Draining Whelk.
