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

Equivalent cards (same color, similar effect) to Gray Merchant of Asphodel:
1. Gary itself (Gray Merchant of Asphodel)—baseline for this effect.
2. Vindictive Vampire (drains 1 life for each nontoken dying, not devotion-based but similar color/drain).
3. Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet (also black, life drain on activated ability).
4. Kokusho, the Evening Star (drains 5 life from each opponent on death; not devotion, but global drain/lifegain in mono-black).
5. Blood Artist (black, drains and gains life when another creature dies).

None have the exact devotion-to-black mechanic, but these are the closest mono-black equivalents with similar drain/lifegain triggers.

  • 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.

  • You get the token, not the player who controlled the creature.
