AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Kokusho, the Evening Star

Equivalent cards to Kokusho, the Evening Star (Black, flying, death trigger, drain life) include:

  • Gray Merchant of Asphodel (drains life, ETB, not flying)
  • Massacre Wurm (drains life on death of opponents’ creatures, not flying)
  • Pontiff of Blight (grants creatures extort, less direct)
  • Archfiend of Despair (flying, doubles life loss, not death trigger)


Reason: All are black, focus on life loss or drain, and interact with death or black synergies. None match exactly, but these are closest in color and function.

    Flying

    Rules

  • Archfiend of Despair’s last ability counts only how much life was lost. It doesn’t care whether a player also gained life.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, damage and life loss happen to each player individually. If each player on a team is dealt 2 damage, each of those players loses 2 life and the team’s life total goes down by 4. When Archfiend of Despair’s ability resolves, each of those players again loses 2 life and the team’s life total goes down again by 4; they don’t each lose 4 life.
  • The amount of life to lose is determined only as Archfiend of Despair’s triggered ability resolves. For example, if you control two of them and an opponent lost 3 life earlier in the turn, the first ability to resolve would have that player lose 3 life, and the second would have that player lose 6 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.

  • Massacre Wurm's triggered ability triggers if a creature an opponent controls dies for any reason, including from its first ability reducing its toughness to 0, as long as Massacre Wurm remains on the battlefield.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Extort

    Rules

  • The amount of life you gain from extort is based on the total amount of life lost, not necessarily the number of opponents you have. For example, if your opponent's life total can't change (perhaps because that player controls Platinum Emperion), you won't gain any life.
  • The extort ability doesn't target any player.
  • The extort ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • You may pay {W/B} a maximum of one time for each extort triggered ability. You decide whether to pay when the ability resolves.
