5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Unspeakable Symbol

Equivalent cards to Unspeakable Symbol (Black) that modify creatures using life payment:
1. Greed — Pay life to draw cards.
2. Pain Seer — Pay life for card advantage, but not +1/+1 counters.
3. Bloodchief Ascension — Pays life for effects, but not counters directly.

However, no card is an exact match for life-for-counters. Closest is Crimson Honor Guard (red), but pure black alternatives aren't as direct. Unspeakable Symbol is quite unique in black.

    Rules

  • Bloodchief Ascension’s first ability checks how much life was lost by each opponent over the course of the entire turn, even if Bloodchief Ascension wasn’t on the battlefield the whole time.
  • Bloodchief Ascension’s first ability checks only whether life was lost. It doesn’t care whether life was also gained. For example, if an opponent lost 4 life and gained 6 life during the turn, that player will have a higher life total than they started the turn with — but Bloodchief Ascension’s first ability will still trigger.
  • Bloodchief Ascension’s first ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” It won’t trigger at all unless an opponent has already lost 2 or more life by the time the end step begins.
  • Bloodchief Ascension’s second ability doesn’t behave like a leaves-the-battlefield triggered ability, since the card put into an opponent’s graveyard may come from anywhere. If a Bloodchief Ascension with three quest counters on it and a permanent an opponent owns are destroyed at the same time, for example, the game will not “look back in time” at the game state, and Bloodchief Ascension’s second ability won’t trigger.
  • For the first ability to trigger, a single opponent must have lost 2 life. Two opponents each losing 1 life won’t cause it to trigger. It will trigger a maximum of once per turn, no matter how many opponents have lost 2 or more life.

    At the beginning of each end step, if an opponent lost 2 or more life this turn, you may put a questcounteron this enchantment. (Damage causes loss of life.) Whenever a card is put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, if this enchantment has three or more quest counters on it, you may have that player lose 2 life. If you do, you gain 2 life.

    Rules

  • Crimson Honor Guard will deal 4 damage to you, too, if you don't control a commander.
  • Crimson Honor Guard's last ability triggers at the beginning of each player's end step whether that player controls a commander or not. Whether that player controls a commander is checked only as the ability resolves.
  • The player could control any player's commander to satisfy Crimson Honor Guard's ability. If a player gains control of another player's commander “until end of turn,” the player who gained control of it will still control that commander during the end step.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • If an inspired ability triggers during your untap step, the ability will be put on the stack at the beginning of your upkeep. If the ability creates one or more token creatures, those creatures won't be able to attack that turn (unless they gain haste).
  • If the inspired ability includes an optional cost, you decide whether to pay that cost as the ability resolves. You can do this even if the creature leaves the battlefield in response to the ability.
  • If the mana cost of the revealed card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.
  • If the revealed card doesn't have a mana cost (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.
  • Inspired abilities don't trigger when the creature enters the battlefield.
  • Inspired abilities trigger no matter how the creature becomes untapped: by the turn-based action at the beginning of the untap step or by a spell or ability.
