"Find me cards equivalent to: Brutal Hordechief"

Brutal Hordechief (Black, Creature — Orc Warrior) has two abilities: attack trigger (drain) and a combat manipulation activated ability. I'll find similar Black creatures with comparable life drain/combat control effects:
1. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose: Has life drain on your lifegain, but no combat control.
2. Gray Merchant of Asphodel: Drains life on ETB, but no recurring or combat effects.
3. Exsanguinator Cavalry: Drains on attacking with modified creatures.
4. Drana, Liberator of Malakir: Combat related, not life drain, no opponent control.
5. Kambal, Consul of Allocation: Drains on noncreature spell casts, not on attack.

Closest equivalent: Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (attack/life drain synergy), but none in mono-black offer both life drain on attack and control over opponent blockers.

Brutal Hordechief is unique in combining both effects.

    Rules

  • All blocking declarations must still be legal.
  • If there’s a cost associated with having a creature block and you choose for that creature to block, its controller can choose to pay that cost or not. If that player decides to not pay that cost, you must propose a new set of blocking creatures.
  • In a multiplayer game, if more than one player activates Brutal Hordechief’s activated ability on the same turn, the controller of the last ability to resolve will choose how any creatures controlled by players who didn’t resolve this ability will block.
  • The defending player affected by Brutal Hordechief’s triggered ability is determined relative to the creature that attacked. For example, if Brutal Hordechief attacked one opponent and two other creatures you control attacked another opponent, the first opponent would lose 1 life and the second opponent would lose 2 life. You’d gain a total of 3 life.
  • You’ll choose how each creature controlled by an opponent blocks, even if that creature wasn’t on the battlefield or wasn’t controlled by an opponent as the activated ability resolved.

    Flying

    Rules

  • Drana's last ability triggers after combat damage has been dealt, so only attacking creatures that survive the combat damage step in which Drana deals combat damage will have +1/+1 counters put on them.
  • The +1/+1 counter won't change how much damage Drana or any other attacking creature with first strike or double strike deals during that combat damage step. However, the +1/+1 counters that are put on attacking creatures without first strike will affect the damage those creatures deal during the regular combat damage step.

  • 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.

    Rules

  • Because Vito's first ability doesn't deal damage, you won't gain life when it resolves if Vito has lifelink.
  • Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Vito's first ability will trigger twice and you may choose a different opponent for each trigger. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
  • If an ability triggers whenever an opponent loses life and causes you to gain life, such as the ability of Exquisite Blood, this will loop until either you win the game or a player takes an action to break the loop.
  • If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something, that life is gained as one event and Vito's first ability triggers only once.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause the ability to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.
