AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Magus of the Abyss

Cards equivalent to Magus of the Abyss (black, creature-based, repeatable forced sacrifice):
1. The Abyss – Original enchantment version, same effect (not a creature).
2. Sheoldred, the Apocalypse – Powerful black creature with repeated effect but triggers on draws.
3. Butcher of Malakir – Forces opponents to sacrifice creatures when one of yours dies.
4. Grave Pact – Enchantment, makes opponents sacrifice when your creatures die.
5. Dictate of Erebos – Flash version of Grave Pact.
6. Merciless Executioner – Creature, forces sacrifice when it enters.
7. Fleshbag Marauder – Similar to above.

Magus of the Abyss is unique since it's a continuous, upkeep repeatable effect, but these are the closest black alternatives.

    Rules

  • If multiple creatures you control (possibly including Butcher of Malakir itself) are put into their owners' graveyards at the same time, Butcher of Malakir's triggered ability will trigger that many times.
  • If you and an opponent each control a Butcher of Malakir and a creature is put into a graveyard, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player's Butcher will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Butcher to trigger, and so on.
  • If you control more than one Butcher of Malakir and a creature you control is put into a graveyard, each of those Butchers' abilities will trigger. Each opponent will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.
  • When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
