Wound ReflectionfinisherBudget$10.19This is the closest noncreature analogue to Archfiend of Despair, doubling opponents' life loss at each end step. It plays the same finisher role in black decks that want to punish combat and life payment.Bloodletter of Aclazotzfinisher$30.20Like Archfiend of Despair, it amplifies damage-based life loss against opponents and can end games quickly. It is a more compact threat with a similar damage-matters payoff.Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rosefinisher$15.19Vito turns your life gain into repeatable life-loss pressure, functioning as a similar black drain finisher. It is less global than Archfiend, but fills the same win-condition role in lifedrain decks.Sanguine BondfinisherBudget$5.77This enchantment creates a strong life swing engine by converting your life gain into opponents losing life. It is one of the classic black finishers for the same drain-oriented strategy.Defiant BloodlordfinisherBudget$0.30Defiant Bloodlord mirrors the life-gain punishment plan and acts as a large flying threat. It is slower and a bit clunkier, but it occupies the same lifedrain finisher space.Exquisite Bloodutility$41.38This card is a premier black life-drain payoff that supports the same kind of attrition and combo finishes. While it gains you life instead of directly dealing damage, it fits the same life-total control plan.Gray Merchant of AsphodelfinisherBudget$1.27Gary is a classic black finisher that swings life totals dramatically and often ends games in mono-black. It is more immediate but less persistent than Archfiend of Despair.Kokusho, the Evening Starfinisher$19.80Kokusho is another iconic black finisher that drains the table and punishes opponents for prolonged games. It is a death-triggered threat rather than a static emblem-style effect, but the endgame role is similar.
