"Find me cards equivalent to: Nirkana Assassin"

Equivalent cards in black with a similar deathtouch-on-life-gain ability are rare. The original:

  • Nirkana Assassin — Creature — Vampire Assassin Ally, whenever you gain life, it gains deathtouch until end of turn.

Closest black equivalents:
1. Cliffhaven Vampire (Whenever you gain life, each opponent loses 1 life.) — Similar trigger, but different effect.
2. Gifted Aetherborn (Deathtouch, lifelink.) — Always has deathtouch, lifelink, but not conditional on life gain.
3. Bloodthirsty Aerialist (Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on it.) — Trigger on life gain, different effect.


Reason: No exact black matches, but these have related triggers or deathtouch.

    Rules

  • Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, Bloodthirsty Aerialist's ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
  • If Bloodthirsty Aerialist is dealt lethal damage at the same time that you gain life, it won't receive a counter from its ability in time to save it.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause the ability to trigger, even though it caused your team's life total to increase.
  • The ability of Bloodthirsty Aerialist triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it's 1 life from Impassioned Orator or 4 life from Dawning Angel. If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something or "equal to the number" of something, that life is gained as one event and the ability of Bloodthirsty Aerialist triggers only once.
