Duskwielderutility$0.06A black mana sink creature that scales over time, though it grows through menace-based Blood counters rather than pump activation. It fills a similar low-cost black creature role with repeatable late-game utility.Sangrite Backlashutility$0.11Like Looming Shade, it is an efficient black creature that can convert extra mana into combat pressure. The difference is that its scaling is tied to power boosting through bloodthirst-style gameplay rather than a repeated activated ability.Krovikan Vampireutility$0.35A classic black creature that can repeatedly grow in combat relevance and rewards ongoing mana investment. It plays a similar attrition-oriented role in black decks.Twilight Pantherutility$0.07An early black creature with an activated ability that enhances combat effectiveness. It is a more defensive version of the same kind of mana-sink pressure card.Order of the Ebon Handutility$1.25A black two-drop with mana-relevant combat scaling and a strong monoblack identity. It serves a similar purpose as a cheap creature that can dominate combat if left unchecked.Abyssal Gatekeeperutility$0.21Not a Shade, but it is a low-cost black creature that generates repeated board impact and demands an answer. It fits the same black attrition-creature slot in many decks.Aetherborn Marauderutility$0.07A black creature that grows into a larger threat and can act as a mana sink in the late game. It shares the same general role of turning spare resources into a stronger attacker.Nightmarefinisher$14.59A larger black creature that scales with the amount of black mana available, making it a classic mana sink finisher. It is a bigger, more expensive cousin to Looming Shade's pump plan.
