4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Equivalent cards to Gray Merchant of Asphodel (black, devotion/life drain):

  • Blood Tithe Harvester (drains life, but not devotion-based)
  • Kokusho, the Evening Star (life drain on death)
  • Dusk Mangler (opponent loses life, but not devotion)
  • Gary, Glutton of Tyrants (a newer, variant Gary; similar effect)
  • Sage of the Falls (blue, not black, so not included)


Reason: There are few cards with exactly the devotion mechanic, but these black cards also drain life or scale with black permanents. Gary, Glutton of Tyrants is a direct callback to Gray Merchant of Asphodel.

  • As Dusk Mangler's triggered ability resolves, each opponent, starting with the next player in turn order, chooses a creature, knowing the choices made before them. All of those creatures are sacrificed at the same time. Next, each opponent chooses a card in their hand without revealing it, and all of those cards are discarded at the same time. Then, each opponent loses 4 life.

    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.

  • If more than one non-Human creature enters the battlefield at the same time, Sage of the Falls's ability triggers that many times. You'll resolve the abilities one at a time—you won't draw that many cards at once and then discard that many cards.
  • You draw a card and discard a card all while Sage of the Falls's ability is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
