It is a stronger aristocrats payoff in the same black identity space.Zulaport Cutthroatlife_gain$1.91Like Pest, it rewards your creatures dying with life gain, but scales to your whole board and drains opponents. It is one of the most efficient black sacrifice payoffs.Bastion of Remembrancelife_gain$0.35Provides a similar death-triggered life swing while also creating a body and draining opponents. It fits the same grindy sacrifice/aristocrats role in black.Cruel Celebrantlife_gain$0.46Triggers on your creatures and tokens dying to gain life-drain value, closely matching Pest’s death payoff theme. It is a staple upgrade for token sacrifice decks.Syr Konrad, the Grimlife_gain$36.85Not a direct life-gain replacement, but it turns creature deaths into damage and life loss, serving the same attrition plan. It is a powerful graveyard and sacrifice payoff in black.Poison-Tip Archerlife_gain$0.39Uses the same 'creature dies' trigger pattern as Pest, but converts it into draining opponents and gaining you life. The green-black identity and sacrifice synergy make it a strong match.Teysa Karlovutility$1.30Doubles death triggers, effectively making Pest-style life gain better when your tokens or creatures die.
