Zulaport Cutthroatdrain$1.91Rewards your creatures dying by draining each opponent, making it a strong life-drain engine in black decks. It fills a similar incremental drain role, though it triggers on deaths instead of Spirit/Arcane casts.Blood Artistdrain$1.84Another repeatable drain creature that turns creature deaths into life swing. It plays a similar attrition role and is one of the best functional equivalents for incremental drain.Bastion of Remembrancedrain$0.35Provides ongoing life drain whenever your creatures die, giving a persistent source of reach. It is slower than Thief of Hope but serves the same attrition and life-swing plan.Cruel Celebrantdrain$0.46Drains opponents when your creatures or other permanents you control die, similar to Thief of Hope's incremental life swing. It is especially strong in sacrifice-heavy shells.Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rosedrain$15.19Converts life gain into life loss for opponents, functioning as a black life-drain payoff. It is more combo-oriented, but it fits decks looking for repeated life swing effects.Kamber, the Plundererdrain$0.27Drains opponents whenever your nontoken creatures die and gains you life, echoing the same black attrition pattern. It is a sturdier, broader version of the drain effect.Gray Merchant of Asphodeldrain$1.27A classic black life-drain finisher that swings the game with a large devotion-based drain. It is not incremental like Thief of Hope, but it is a strong black life-swing payoff.Sanguine Bonddrain$5.77Turns your life gain into direct life loss for opponents, creating a similar black drain engine around gaining life. It is more of an enchantment payoff than a creature, but serves the same finish role.
