"Find me cards equivalent to: Essence Harvest"

Equivalent cards to Essence Harvest (sorcery, black, life drain based on creature power):
1. Soul's Majesty (draws cards, not life drain, but based on highest power—closest non-life variant)
2. Drain Life (sorcery, black; target loses X life, you gain X life, but X is determined by mana, not creature power)
3. Exsanguinate (each opponent loses X life, you gain X life, X is from mana paid)
4. Profane Command (X is mana, not power, but drains life as an option)
5. Final Payment (conditional instant, not based on power, but similar black flavor)

Conclusion: There are many life drain spells in black, but few scale directly off creature power like Essence Harvest. Essence Harvest is unique in tying effect to greatest power, while others (like Drain Life or Exsanguinate) scale with mana.

    Spend only black mana on X. Drain Life deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more life than the player's life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker's loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature's toughness.

  • Players can lose more life than they have. For example, say you're playing a multiplayer game in which one of your opponents has 3 life and your other opponent has 10 life. If you cast Exsanguinate with X of 4, your opponents will wind up at -1 life and 6 life, respectively. You'll gain 8 life.
