"Find me cards equivalent to: Welcome the Dead"

Equivalent cards to Welcome the Dead (Black, Sorcery, card draw, discard, life loss, and Zombie token creation):
1. Sign in Blood – {B}{B}, Sorcery, draw two cards, lose 2 life.
(Similar draw/life loss, no tokens)
2. Village Rites – {B}, instant, draw two cards after sacrificing a creature.
(Draw effect tied to sacrificing, no tokens)
3. Dread Return – {2}{B}{B}, Sorcery, return creature from graveyard, Flashback—sacrifice three creatures.
(Flashback, graveyard interaction, no draw/token creation)
4. Dark Salvation – {X}{B}{B}, Sorcery, create X Zombie tokens and target creature gets -1/-1 for each.
(Zombie tokens, scalable X effect)

None are exact, but Welcome the Dead offers a unique mix of draw, discard, life loss, token creation, and flashback, which is rarely combined all in one card. Closest equivalents in black are split between drawing/discard/flashback (Sign in Blood, Dread Return) and scalable Zombie-making (Dark Salvation).

  • If the targeted creature becomes an illegal target, the targeted player will still get Zombie tokens.
  • You choose up to one target creature total, not a separate target for each Zombie that player controls.
  • You may cast Dark Salvation with X as 0 just to have a creature get -1/-1 for each Zombie a player controls, and you may cast it without targeting any creature just to have a player get Zombie tokens. If you really just want to cast a spell, you can even cast it with X as 0 without a target creature and have neither effect do anything.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
  • You choose the target for Dread Return before paying any of its costs, so it's not possible to cast it using flashback and bring back one of the creatures you sacrifice.
