AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Acererak the Archlich

Similar cards in black that care about dungeons or adventures:
1. Barrowin of Clan Undurr (dungeon synergy)
2. Nadaar, Selfless Paladin (white, but strong dungeon thematic)
3. Cloister Gargoyle (dungeon payoff)
4. Pandelver (dungeon, but blue)

However, Acererak the Archlich is unique in its combo potential (casting recursion with dungeons), especially in black. Closest black equivalents in recursion/combo:

  • Gravecrawler (recurs from graveyard)
  • Relentless Dead


Reason: No other black card matches Acererak’s exact dungeon recursion, but these offer similar graveyard recursion/combo potential.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Acererak the Archlich has an intervening if clause in its first triggered ability. If you have completed Tomb of Annihilation, the ability won't trigger at all. If it does trigger, but you somehow complete Tomb of Annihilation while the ability is on the stack, then the ability won't do anything. You won't return Acererak to its owner's hand and you won't venture into the dungeon.
  • If Acererak is no longer on the battlefield as its first ability resolves and you haven't completed Tomb of Annihilation, you will still venture into the dungeon.
  • In a multiplayer game, each opponent decides in turn order whether or not they will sacrifice a creature and which one they will sacrifice. Each opponent knows the choices made before they make their own choice. Then, once all opponents have chosen, creatures are sacrificed and tokens are created simultaneously.

    When Acererak enters, if you haven't completed Tomb of Annihilation, return Acererak to its owner's hand and venture into the dungeon. Whenever Acererak attacks, for each opponent, you create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token unless that player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • A player may only have one dungeon in the command zone at a time.
  • Barrowin of Clan Undurr's last ability works even if it wasn't on the battlefield when you completed a dungeon.
  • Choosing the dungeon or room to venture into is part of resolving the venture into the dungeon keyword action. Once that choice is made, players may not respond until after the appropriate room ability has triggered.
  • Dungeon cards are not part of a player's deck or sideboard. In both constructed and limited formats, players can use any dungeon card when they venture into the dungeon.
  • Dungeons are removed from the game as a state-based action.
  • If you somehow venture into the dungeon while a room's ability is on the stack, you will continue on in the dungeon. If you're already in the last room, complete that dungeon and start a new one.
  • Moving into a dungeon room will cause its room ability to trigger.
  • Once you resolve the last room ability of a dungeon, that dungeon is now completed and is removed from the game.
  • The player venturing into the dungeon chooses which dungeon they will venture into. They may choose a dungeon that they have already completed this game.
  • To venture into the dungeon, a player moves their venture marker into the next room of the dungeon they are currently in. If they aren't currently in a dungeon, that player instead chooses a dungeon card from outside the game, puts it into the command zone, and moves their venture marker onto the first room.
  • You can only move forward (well, downward) in a dungeon, never backwards or sideways.
