"Find me cards equivalent to: Custodi Lich"

Equivalent cards to Custodi Lich in black (B) with a similar combination of effects (enter-the-battlefield triggers, monarchy, or forcing sacrifices):
1. Palace Jailer (White, but also enters and makes you the monarch, with removal)
2. Thorn of the Black Rose (Black, enters, you become the monarch)
3. Dread Presence (Black, enter or landfall triggers for sacrifice or loss)
4. Plaguecrafter (Black, ETB: each player sacrifices a creature/planeswalker)
5. Merciless Executioner (Black, ETB: each player sacrifices a creature)
6. Slum Reaper (Black, ETB: each player sacrifices a creature)
7. Phyrexian Rager (Black, similar ETB advantage, but not sacrifice/monarch)
8. Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (Black, punishes opponents for actions, not monarch/sacrifice specifically)

Closest in color and effect:

  • Thorn of the Black Rose (for monarchy in black)
  • Plaguecrafter, Merciless Executioner, Slum Reaper (for forced sacrifice)

But only Custodi Lich combines becoming the monarch and a sacrifice trigger in mono-black. None do both in one card, but using Thorn of the Black Rose with any ETB sacrifice creature is the closest deck-building option.

    Rules

  • Abilities that trigger whenever you “become the monarch” trigger only if you aren't already the monarch. For example, if you are already the monarch as Custodi Lich enters the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger.
  • Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. “At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card” and “Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch.”
  • If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack, and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.
  • The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.

  • If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won't return to the battlefield.
  • If you're not the monarch as Palace Jailer's second ability resolves, the creature will be exiled until there's a new monarch and that player is one of your opponents. The creature won't immediately return just because an opponent is the monarch.
  • In a multiplayer game, if the monarch leaves the game, the player whose turn it is immediately becomes the monarch. If the player whose turn it is has left the game, instead the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.
  • Palace Jailer leaving the battlefield won't cause the exiled creature to return. The game will continue to watch for the next time an opponent becomes the monarch.
  • The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.
  • The opponent that controlled the exiled card doesn't have to be the same opponent that becomes the monarch in order to cause that card to return to the battlefield. Any opponent becoming the monarch will cause the card to return.
