"Find me cards equivalent to: Xantcha, Sleeper Agent"

Equivalent cards to Xantcha, Sleeper Agent (legendary, black/red, ETB under opponent control, life loss/drain, group hug/hate):
1. Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant — Legendary, BR, encourages attacks by giving draws and goading.
2. Master of Cruelties — Not legendary, BR, attacks with punishing effects, but doesn’t switch control.
3. Kaervek the Merciless — Legendary, BR, punishes opponents for casting spells but not a sleeper agent.
4. Garna, Bloodfist of Keld — Legendary, BR, card draw from dying creatures, not opponent-controlled.
5. Juri, Master of the Revue — Legendary, BR, triggers on sac for damage, not opponent-controlled.

Closest functional equivalent is still Xantcha, Sleeper Agent due to unique opponent-control mechanic. Other BR legendaries promote political/aggressive play but not the same effect.

  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.

    Whenever you attack a player, tap target creature that player controls and goad it. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.) Whenever an opponent attacks another one of your opponents, you and the attacking player each draw a card and lose 1 life.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
  • Assigning no combat damage isn't the same as preventing that damage. Effects that make damage unpreventable will have no effect if no combat damage can be assigned.
  • For a player's life total to become 1, what actually happens is that the player loses (or in some rare cases, gains) the appropriate amount of life. For example, if the player's life total is 4 when the last ability resolves, it will cause that player to lose 3 life. Other effects that interact with life loss (or gain) will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • If Master of Cruelties attacks alone, another creature entering the battlefield attacking will have no effect on it. Master of Cruelties continues to be an attacking creature. The other attacking creature will assign combat damage normally, regardless of whether Master of Cruelties's last ability triggers.
  • Master of Cruelties isn't forced to attack, but if it does, it must do so alone. If you control another creature with an ability that says it must attack if able, that creature must attack and Master of Cruelties won't be able to.
  • Master of Cruelties's last ability won't trigger if it attacks a planeswalker or a battle.

    Rules

  • If Xantcha can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player's control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
  • If a player creates a token that's a copy of Xantcha, the player who creates the token is its owner, not the player under whose control it enters the battlefield. This is a change from previous rules.
  • The player who draws a card when Xantcha's last ability resolves is the player who activated the ability.
  • Xantcha's controller may activate its last ability. In this case, the same player loses 2 life and draws a card.
  • Xantcha's first ability is a replacement effect that modifies how it enters the battlefield, not a triggered ability. Players can't take actions (such as activating its last ability) while Xantcha's on the battlefield before it's controlled by another player.
  • In a multiplayer game, if Xantcha's owner leaves the game, Xantcha leaves the game with them. If Xantcha's controller leaves the game, Xantcha is exiled. This is a change from previous rulings due to Xantcha's updated wording.
