4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Shambling Swarm

Equivalent cards to Shambling Swarm (Black, creature with death trigger distributing -1/-1):
1. Necroskitter — Returns -1/-1 countered creatures to your control.
2. Dusk Urchins — Dies with counters, draws cards instead.
3. Skinrender — ETB gives -1/-1 counters (not on death, but similar effect).


Reason: Few cards exactly mimic Shambling Swarm, but these have similar death or -1/-1 counter interactions in black.

    Rules

  • If Dusk Urchins has just 1 toughness when it blocks, it will get a -1/-1 counter and be put into the graveyard. The creature that it blocked remains blocked, however.
  • The -1/-1 counter is put on Dusk Urchins during the declare attackers or declare blockers step, whichever is appropriate, so it will be smaller by the time combat damage is dealt. (Note that this is different from how the _Shadowmoor_ card Wicker Warcrawler works.)

    Wither

    Rules

  • It doesn't matter how many -1/-1 counters were on the creature when it was put into a graveyard from the battlefield, as long as it had at least one.
  • It doesn't matter whose graveyard the creature is put into. It matters only that an opponent controlled it when it left the battlefield.
  • The card returns to the battlefield without any -1/-1 counters on it (unless some other effect causes it to enter with some).
