Blood Artistdrain_payoff$1.84This is the core payoff for sacrifice-based drain decks, turning creature deaths into life swing. It fills the same role of incremental life drain and is the card created by Sanguine Brushstroke's conjure effect.Zulaport Cutthroatdrain_payoff$1.91A very close functional equivalent to Blood Artist that drains each opponent when your creatures die. It is a staple budget-friendly payoff for sacrifice strategies.Bastion of Remembrancedrain_payoff$0.35Creates a life-drain engine for sacrifice decks and also leaves behind a token body. It is a similar black enchantment payoff that repeatedly punishes creature deaths.Marionette Masterdrain_payoff$1.56Works as a payoff for sacrificing artifacts, draining opponents when your artifacts go to the graveyard. It overlaps with Blood token sacrifice themes and can be a stronger top-end threat.Mayhem Devildrain_payoff$0.98Not black, but it is one of the strongest sacrifice payoffs in the format, pinging any target whenever a player sacrifices a permanent. It functions similarly by converting Blood-token sacrifice into damage value.Oni-Cult Anvildrain_payoff$0.16This repeatedly rewards artifact sacrifice by draining opponents and making tokens, which lines up well with Blood token shells. It is a lower-cost engine that can take over long games.Pitiless Plundererutility$2.18Another premier sacrifice engine that turns dying creatures into Treasure, fueling more activations and combo lines. It doesn't drain directly, but it serves the same aristocrats-style role of converting sacrifice into value.Vindictive Vampiredrain_payoff$0.23A similar aristocrats payoff that drains opponents whenever your creatures die. It is a straightforward alternative for decks that want repeated life loss and life gain triggers.
