"Find me cards equivalent to: Gray Merchant of Asphodel"

Equivalent cards (mono-black, creature, causes life loss on ETB, based on board/devotion):
1. Gray Merchant of Asphodel (original searched card)
2. Exsanguinator Cavalry (triggers when another Vampire attacks, not devotion-based, but causes life loss and gains you life)
3. Kokusho, the Evening Star (when it dies, each opponent loses 5 life, you gain life equal to life lost)
4. Torgaar, Famine Incarnate (when enters, reduces opponent's life total, but not devotion-based)


Reason: Very few black creatures have a devotion-like or boardstate-based life drain effect. Gray Merchant of Asphodel is unique for devotion, but these are some close ETB or recurring life loss effects.

    Rules

  • 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

  • For your life total to become half your starting life total (normally 10, half of 20), you gain or lose the appropriate amount of life. For example, if your life total is 4 when Torgaar's ability resolves targeting you, it will cause you to gain 6 life; alternatively, if your life total is 25 when it resolves, it will cause you to lose 15 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Torgaar's ability causes the team's life total to become half the team's starting life total (normally 15, half of 30), but only the target player actually gains or loses life.
  • Torgaar's first ability can't reduce its cost below {B}{B}. You can sacrifice any number of creatures, even if they won't reduce Torgaar's cost any further.
