7 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Syphon Life

Equivalent black cards to Syphon Life (drain life, repeatable or with buyback/recursion) include:

  • Urborg Uprising (returns creatures, but not repeatable drain)
  • Blood Artist (life drain, repeatable via board events)
  • Exsanguinate (mass drain)
  • Drain Life (single-use life drain)
  • Tendrils of Corruption (one-shot, but drains life based on Swamps)
  • Death Cloud (drain effect, scalable)

Short reason: These cards all feature life drain or life manipulation in black, with some recursion or scalable effects. None have retrace exactly like Syphon Life, but they are close equivalents.

    Spend only black mana on X. Drain Life deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more life than the player's life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker's loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature's toughness.

  • Players can lose more life than they have. For example, say you're playing a multiplayer game in which one of your opponents has 3 life and your other opponent has 10 life. If you cast Exsanguinate with X of 4, your opponents will wind up at -1 life and 6 life, respectively. You'll gain 8 life.

    Retrace

    Rules

  • A retrace card cast from your graveyard follows the normal timing rules for its card type.
  • Casting a card by using its retrace ability works just like casting any other spell, with two exceptions: You’re casting it from your graveyard rather than your hand, and you must discard a land card in addition to any other costs.
  • If the active player casts a spell that has retrace, that player may cast that card again after it resolves, before another player can remove the card from the graveyard. The active player has priority after the spell resolves, so they can immediately cast a new spell. Since casting a card with retrace from the graveyard moves that card onto the stack, no one else would have the chance to affect it while it’s still in the graveyard.
  • When a retrace card you cast from your graveyard resolves, fails to resolve, or is countered, it’s put back into your graveyard. You may use the retrace ability to cast it again.
