Blood Artistdrain$1.84Drains opponents’ life and gains you life over time, serving a similar incremental life-swing role in black. It is cheaper and works off deaths instead of untaps.Zulaport Cutthroatdrain$1.91Provides repeatable life drain in black with a similar attrition game plan. It is easier to deploy and scales well in sacrifice-heavy decks.Bastion of Remembrancedrain$0.35Creates a similar steady life-loss engine for opponents while padding your life total. It costs more, but is harder to remove and impacts the board immediately.Gifted Aetherbornutility$0.35A black creature that stabilizes your life total with deathtouch and lifelink, similar to Servant of Tymaret’s defensive, life-swinging role. It is much more efficient as a board stabilizer.Vampire Nighthawkutility$0.20Another classic black lifelink creature that helps you recover life and discourage attacks. It fills the same defensive midrange role at a slightly higher cost with evasion.Ayara, First of Locthwaindrain$6.13Converts black creature presence into repeated life drain and card advantage, overlapping with the incremental drain plan. It costs one more but is a much stronger engine.Gray Merchant of Asphodelfinisher$1.27A black life-drain finisher that swings life totals sharply, fitting the same color and life-swing theme. It is less incremental but far more explosive.Kalitas, Traitor of Ghetutility$6.57Provides life gain and board control in black, rewarding attrition similarly to Servant of Tymaret. It is substantially stronger and more expensive, but serves the same grindy midrange role.
