AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Goblin Assassin

Equivalent cards to Goblin Assassin (Red, Goblin, creature, forces sacrifice on event):
1. Rakdos the Defiler – Forces opponents to sacrifice permanents on attack.
2. Dictate of Erebos (Black) – Triggers on your creatures dying but not a Goblin or red.
3. Witch of the Moors (Black) – Sacrifice effect, not red or Goblin.

Closest true equivalents in red and/or goblin are rare, but Goblin Trashmaster (buff/sacrifice synergy, not forced sacrifice) and Siege-Gang Commander (sacrifices Goblins for damage) offer similar tribal synergy, not the same effect.


Reason: Goblin Assassin is unique in red Goblins for directly forcing random sacrifices on a tribal trigger; most similar effects are in black. Cards like Mogg War Marshal or Krenko, Mob Boss work with it but do not replicate the ability.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Dictate of Erebos's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
  • If you and an opponent each control a Dictate of Erebos and a creature dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Dictate of Erebos will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Dictate of Erebos to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Dictate of Erebos and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • None of the opponents are targeted. An opponent with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.

    Rules

  • A permanent with the subtype Demon, including Rakdos the Defiler itself, can't be sacrificed this way.
  • To calculate the number of permanents that must be sacrificed, count the number of permanents the affected player controls that don't have the subtype Demon, then divide that number in half and round up. For example, a player who controls eleven non-Demon permanents will need to sacrifice six of them.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • As the triggered ability resolves, first the next opponent in turn order chooses a creature they control, then each other opponent in turn order does the same knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
  • If you haven't gained life by the time your end step begins, the triggered ability won't trigger at all.
  • The triggered ability looks at whether you've gained life in the turn, even if Witch of the Moors wasn't on the battlefield when you gained life. It doesn't care if you also lost life, even if you lost more life than you gained.
  • The triggered ability triggers just once, no matter how much life you've gained.
  • You don't have to choose a target creature card at all. If you do and the target card is an illegal target by the time the ability tries to resolve, the ability won't resolve. Your opponents won't sacrifice creatures.
