"Find me cards equivalent to: Mer-Ek Nightblade"

Equivalent cards to Mer-Ek Nightblade should be black creatures that either grant deathtouch to creatures with +1/+1 counters, or interact with +1/+1 counters and deathtouch. Here are some options:
1. Hooded Blightfang

  • Type: Creature — Snake
  • Text: Deathtouch. Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch attacks, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

  • Reason: It interacts with creatures with deathtouch, though not specifically with +1/+1 counters.
    2. Fain, the Broker
  • Type: Legendary Creature — Human Warlock
  • Text: {B}, {T}, Sacrifice a creature: Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature.

  • Reason: Interacts with +1/+1 counters and is black, but doesn’t grant deathtouch.
    3. Pelakka Predation (as Pelakka Caverns)
  • Not a creature, but Pelakka Predation is a black card with a small +1/+1 counter aspect from Zendikar Rising.

The most similar for deathtouch-granting in black, however, is Mer-Ek Nightblade itself—there are no black creatures that do exactly both effects.

Closest:

  • Mer-Ek Nightblade
  • Hooded Blightfang (deathtouch synergy)
  • Fain, the Broker (+1/+1 counter interaction)

There’s no direct equivalent within mono-black that grants deathtouch to creatures with +1/+1 counters.
