Zulaport Cutthroatdrain_payoff$1.91Very close functional twin to Blood Artist, draining each opponent when your creatures die instead of targeting a player. It is one of the best aristocrats payoffs in black.Bastion of Remembrancedrain_payoffBudget$0.35Provides the same death-triggered life drain plan for your creatures while also leaving behind a body. Slightly slower, but harder to remove and better in go-wide sacrifice decks.Cruel Celebrantdrain_payoffBudget$0.46Similar aristocrats payoff that drains each opponent whenever a creature or planeswalker you control dies. It scales well in sacrifice decks and functions like a wider Blood Artist.Vindictive Vampiredrain_payoffBudget$0.23Another death-triggered drain payoff that pings each opponent and gains you life. It costs more, but rewards the same creature-sacrifice game plan.Bloodthrone Vampiresacrifice_outletBudget$0.12Works in the same sacrifice shell, but as a payoff outlet rather than a drain engine. It converts dying creatures into pressure by growing itself quickly.Falkenrath Nobledrain_payoffBudget$0.22Classic Blood Artist-style effect with flying, draining each opponent whenever any creature dies. It is slower at four mana, but the effect is very similar and multiplayer-friendly.Syr Konrad, the Grimdrain_payoff$36.85Broader graveyard-based aristocrats payoff that drains opponents when creatures die or move around from graveyards. It is less narrow than Blood Artist and often deals much more damage over time.Mirkwood Batsdrain_payoff$0.94Similar sacrifice payoff that drains each opponent whenever you create or sacrifice tokens. It is not identical, but it fills a comparable role in token-heavy aristocrats decks.
