"Find me cards equivalent to: Dimir House Guard"

Here are cards similar to Dimir House Guard in black, focusing on at least one shared attribute (creature type, fear, sacrifice for regeneration, or transmute):
1. Drift of Phantasms

  • Transmute ({1}{U}{U}) but blue, not black.
    2. Nether Traitor
  • Black, has shadow, can return to battlefield when another creature dies, functionally related but not directly matching.
    3. Stronghold Overseer
  • Black, flying and shadow, can’t regenerate, higher mana cost.
    4. Skeletal Vampire
  • Black, flying, sacrifice bats to regenerate, but not a skeleton, and not as compact.
    5. Crypt Ghast
  • Black, extort and mana doubling, not a skeleton or regenerating.

No black card exactly combines all three abilities (fear, regenerate via sacrifice, transmute). Only Dimir House Guard does. Closest matches offer partial overlap:

  • For fear: Dross Golem (artifact, but black and has fear).
  • For sacrificing to regenerate: Fleshbag Marauder (forces sacrifice, but doesn’t regenerate) or Drudge Skeletons (regenerates, but doesn’t require sacrifice).
  • For transmute in black: Shred Memory (transmute {1}{B}).

Summary:

  • Dimir House Guard is unique in combining skeleton, fear, sacrifice to regenerate, and transmute.
  • Closest equivalents in black:
    • Drudge Skeletons (regeneration)
    • Shred Memory (transmute)
    • Dross Golem (fear)

No card matches all attributes.

    Extort

    Rules

  • The amount of life you gain from extort is based on the total amount of life lost, not necessarily the number of opponents you have. For example, if your opponent's life total can't change (perhaps because that player controls Platinum Emperion), you won't gain any life.
  • The extort ability doesn't target any player.
  • The extort ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • You may pay {W/B} a maximum of one time for each extort triggered ability. You decide whether to pay when the ability resolves.

    Haste Shadow

    Rules

  • A token you own that dies is put into your graveyard before it ceases to exist.
  • If Nether Traitor and another creature are put into your graveyard at the same time, Nether Traitor's ability won't trigger. This is because it must be in your graveyard before the creature dies in order for its ability that returns it to the battlefield to trigger.
  • If an attacking creature has multiple evasion abilities, such as shadow and flying, a creature can block it only if that creature satisfies all of the appropriate evasion abilities.
  • If multiple creatures are put into your graveyard at the same time, Nether Traitor's ability triggers for each of them. Once you return it to the battlefield, you may pay {B} for the other abilities as they resolve, but they'll have no effect if you do. Even if Nether Traitor returns to your graveyard, it's considered a new object and won't be returned.
  • Multiple instances of shadow on the same creature are redundant.
  • Once a creature has been blocked, that creature remains blocked and will deal and be dealt combat damage even if it gains or loses shadow or if the blocking creature gains or loses shadow.
