"Find me cards equivalent to: Twilight Prophet"

Here are some black cards with similar effects to Twilight Prophet (i.e., draining life based on revealed or drawn cards):
1. Kokusho, the Evening Star
Drains 5 life from each opponent when it dies.


  • Reason: Powerful black flyer with mass drain, though triggers only on death.
    2. Gray Merchant of Asphodel
    Drains opponents for your devotion to black upon entering the battlefield.

  • Reason: Black creature draining opponents and giving you life.
    3. Vilis, Broker of Blood
    Whenever you lose life, draw that many cards.

  • Reason: Big black flyer, ties lifedrain and card draw.
    4. Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted (not a creature, but close)
    Whenever an opponent draws a card, they lose 2 life.

  • Reason: Links card draw with opponents losing life.
    5. Disciple of Bolas
    Sacrifice a creature, then gain life and draw cards equal to its power.

  • Reason: Mono-black cleric, ties life and card draw.

All of these, like Twilight Prophet, are black cards that combine card advantage with draining life. None have all exact abilities, but these are the best mono-black, drain-and-draw equivalents.

  • Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
  • If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.
  • If you put an Aura on an opponent's permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.
  • Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
  • The amount of life you gain is the total amount of life lost, not simply the value of X.

  • If Ob Nixilis leaves the battlefield before his last ability resolves, most likely because he only had 2 loyalty when you activated the ability, his first ability won't exist to trigger when the creature's controller draws two cards.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Ob Nixilis's last ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. No player draws two cards. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), its controller does draw two cards.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Ascend Flying

    Rules

  • A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren't permanents.
  • Ascend on a permanent isn't a triggered ability and doesn't use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can't respond to getting the city's blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can't respond before you get the city's blessing.
  • If the mana cost of the revealed card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.
  • If the revealed card doesn't have a mana cost (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.
  • If you cast a spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city's blessing.
  • If you control ten permanents but don't control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don't get the city's blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won't have the city's blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.
  • If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the "Legend Rule" or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city's blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Twilight Prophet's last ability causes the opposing team to lose twice X life and you gain X life.
  • Once you have the city's blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city's blessing isn't a permanent itself and can't be removed by any effect.
  • Some cards have triggered abilities with an intervening "if" clause that checks whether you have the city's blessing. These are worded "[Trigger condition], if you have the city's blessing, [effect]." You must already have the city's blessing in order for these abilities to trigger; otherwise they do nothing. In other words, there's no way to have the ability trigger if you don't have the city's blessing, even if you intend to get it in response to the triggered ability.
  • The mana value of a split card, such as cards with aftermath from the Amonkhet block, is based on the combined mana cost of its two halves.
