"Find me cards equivalent to: Big Boa Constrictor"
  • Big Boa Constrictor (custom): Host Creature — Snake, B, ETB lose life = die roll.
  • Gray Merchant of Asphodel: ETB, Devotion-based life loss to opponent.
  • Gonti's Machinations: Triggers on loss of life and can cause life loss.
  • Dusk Legion Zealot: ETB, causes loss of life (to you) but draws a card.


Reason: Black (B) creatures with ETB or triggered life loss are rare; Gray Merchant of Asphodel is closest, but none match the die-roll exactly. Big Boa Constrictor is most similar to Gray Merchant of Asphodel in color and ETB life drain.

    Rules

  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Gonti's Machinations's second ability causes the opposing team to lose a total of 6 life.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, damage and life loss happen to individual players, and the result affects the team's life total. Combat damage is assigned and dealt to specific players. If your teammate is dealt damage or otherwise loses life, Gonti's Machinations doesn't trigger, even though your life total went down.
  • The triggered ability gives you at most one energy counter each turn, regardless of how much life you lost.
  • Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
  • Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.
  • If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.
  • If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.
  • Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)
  • Some spells and abilities that give you {E} may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any {E}.
  • Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.
  • Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.
  • {E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

    Rules

  • Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
  • If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.
  • If you put an Aura on an opponent's permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.
  • Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • The amount of life you gain is the total amount of life lost, not simply the value of X.
