"Find me cards equivalent to: Infectious Horror"

Equivalent cards to Infectious Horror (creature, black, attacks triggers opponent life loss):
1. Gray Merchant of Asphodel — ETB life loss rather than attack, also zombie.
2. Dreadhorde Invasion — Creates zombie token; drains life when amassed token attacks/block kills.
3. Plague Spitter — End step damage, not attack trigger.
4. Frontline Devastator — Red, so not black.

Closest black creature equivalent:

  • Nighthawk Scavenger (not same ability, but drains through lifelink).
  • Throat Slitter does something on attack, but destroys a creature.

There are very few direct equivalents in black with the exact attack trigger and mass opponent life loss, Infectious Horror is unique among black zombies for this effect. Consider generalizing with attack triggers or life drain like Gray Merchant of Asphodel.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Amass

    Rules

  • If the token's power changes later in the turn after it has attacked, including while Dreadhorde Invasion's second ability is on the stack, it won't cause the token to gain or lose lifelink.
  • The power of the Zombie token is checked only immediately after it attacks. Any other abilities that trigger when creatures you control attack won't have resolved yet.
  • Amass Orcs works the same way, except you create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token if you don't control an Army. If the Army creature you chose isn't already an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types. By combining cards with amass Orcs and amass Zombies, you can end up with an Orc Zombie Army.
  • Amass abilities are now written as "amass [subtype] N." Previous cards with amass have received errata to say "amass Zombies N."
  • If you don't control an Army, the Zombie Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.
  • In the rare case that you control multiple Army creatures (perhaps because you played a creature with changeling) while you amass Zombies, you choose which of your Army creatures to put the +1/+1 counters on. If that creature isn't a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types.
  • Some cards refer to the "amassed Army." That means the Army creature you chose to receive counters, even if no counters were placed on it for some reason.
  • Some cards that cause you to amass Zombies also provide bonuses to "Zombie tokens." These affect any token that happens to be a Zombie, not just a Zombie Army you've amassed.
  • To amass Zombies N, if you don't control an Army creature, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token. Then you choose an Army creature you control and put N +1/+1 counters on it. If that Army isn't already a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types.

    Afflict

    Rules

  • Afflict causes the defending player to lose life; it's not damage or combat damage.
  • Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won't deal combat damage in time to save that player.
  • If multiple creatures block a creature with afflict, afflict triggers only once.
  • If a creature is attacking a planeswalker, that planeswalker's controller is the defending player. If a creature is attacking a battle, that battle's protector is the defending player.

  • 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.

  • Nighthawk Scavenger counts card types, not cards. If the only card in your opponents' graveyards is a single artifact creature card, Nighthawk Scavenger will be 3/3. If the only cards in those graveyards are ten artifact cards and ten creature cards, Nighthawk Scavenger will still be 3/3.
  • The ability that defines Nighthawk Scavenger's power applies in all zones, not just the battlefield.
