"Find me cards equivalent to: Melancholy"

Here are cards equivalent to Melancholy, all in black and with similar effects:
1. Parasitic Bond — Enchantment — Aura, black, enchanted creature doesn’t untap during its controller’s untap step.
2. Binding Grasp (Note: This is blue/black in function, but is originally blue.)
3. Dead Weight — Black Aura, but focuses on debuffing, not tapping/untapping.
4. Nightmare's Thirst — Not a direct Aura but interacts with tapped/untapped creatures in black.
5. Tenacious Dead — Not an Aura, but similar return at an upkeep cost mechanic.

Closest are:

  • Parasitic Bond (most similar effect to Melancholy in black).
  • Contaminated Bond (triggers life loss but is black and attaches to a creature).

Short reason: Most black Auras that stop untapping or require an upkeep payment like Melancholy are rare; Parasitic Bond is the most mechanically similar.
