AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Zombie Assassin

Equivalent cards to Zombie Assassin (black, sacrifice a creature to destroy a nonblack creature) include:

  • Merciless Executioner (forces each player to sacrifice a creature)
  • Slum Reaper (same as above)
  • Dirge of Dread offers creature removal but with a different mechanic.
  • Shriekmaw (ETB destroy nonartifact, nonblack creature, limited by black restriction)


Reason: All are black cards with creature-sacrifice or nonblack creature removal themes. Closest is Shriekmaw for specifically targeting nonblack creatures.

    Cycling

    Rules

  • The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve, and you'll draw a card.
  • When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.
  • You can cycle this card even if there are no legal targets for the triggered ability.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Evoke Fear

    Rules

  • If you pay the evoke cost, you can have Shriekmaw's own triggered ability resolve before the evoke triggered ability. You can cast spells after that ability resolves but before you have to sacrifice Shriekmaw.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an evoke cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

  • As Slum Reaper’s ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
  • If any player controls no creatures, that player simply doesn’t sacrifice anything. Each other player still sacrifices a creature.
  • Slum Reaper may be the creature its controller sacrifices for its own ability.
