"Find me cards equivalent to: Slithering Shade"

Equivalent cards to Slithering Shade (mono-black, Shade, pump ability, defender-related, or hellbent):
1. Nantuko Shade – B mana for +1/+1, no defender, but similar pump.
2. Everbark Shade – Similar shade creature, pumps for G instead, less direct.
3. Death's Shadow – Black, high power under condition, no pump or defender.
4. Dusk Urchins – Black, not a shade, interacts with card draw/loss similar to hellbent.
5. Nezumi Shortfang – Black, transforms with empty hand (somewhat like hellbent), not a Shade.

Closest by functionality and color:
Nantuko Shade (B: +1/+1)
None match all aspects (Defender/hellbent), but Nantuko Shade is most functionally similar due to the pump ability.

    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.)
