Blood Artistutility$1.84A classic black aristocrats payoff that drains opponents when creatures die, giving you life while pressuring the table. It fills a similar death-trigger damage-and-life-gain role, though it works for any creature dying.Zulaport Cutthroatutility$1.91Like Serrated Scorpion, it rewards creature deaths by draining each opponent and gaining you life. It is usually stronger in sacrifice decks because it triggers from your creatures dying, not just itself.Bastion of Remembranceutility$0.35Provides the same opponent-drain and life-gain pattern on creature death, but as an enchantment it is harder to remove. It costs 1 more mana but is broader and more resilient.Vindictive Vampireutility$0.23A similar death-trigger payoff that drains each opponent and gains you life when your creatures die. It is more expensive, but it scales well in sacrifice-heavy black decks.Marauding Blight-Priestutility$0.22This card converts life gain into opponent loss, which often pairs naturally with death-trigger life-gain engines. It plays a similar drain role, though it needs other life gain sources to function.Cruel Celebrantutility$0.46Another staple aristocrats piece that drains each opponent and gains you life when creatures die. It is not black-only in practice but fits the same sacrifice-and-drain shell very closely.Kalastria Highbornutility$1.10A black life-drain creature that turns creature death into direct damage to opponents. It is less automatic than Serrated Scorpion, but it serves a similar attrition role in sacrifice decks.Syr Konrad, the Grimutility$36.85This is a more powerful death/gravestone payoff that pings opponents repeatedly as creatures die or leave graveyards. It costs more, but it is a strict upgrade in many grindy black decks.
