Tombstone Stairwelldrain$52.31It creates repeated creature-entry pressure that drains life over time, similar to how Wretched Anurid punishes opponents' board development. It is a stronger, more extreme black enchantment in the same sacrifice/drain space.Suture Priestdrain$2.06This is the closest creature-based analogue, triggering life loss when opposing creatures enter the battlefield. It also gains you life when your own creatures enter, making it a more symmetrical but often better version of the effect.Blood Artistdrain$1.84A similar black punisher creature that turns normal creature activity into life-loss, though via death instead of entry. It fills the same attrition role in aristocrats-style decks.Zulaport Cutthroatdrain$1.91Like Blood Artist, it converts creature churn into incremental life drain. It is often a more efficient, multiplayer-friendly version of the same kind of payoff.Cruel Celebrantdrain$0.46Another aristocrats payoff that drains opponents as your creatures die, serving the same black attrition plan. It is a cleaner, scalable substitute in decks built around creature trading.Falkenrath Nobledrain$0.22A flying black drain creature that punishes creature deaths with life loss, similar in role to Anurid's board-warping pressure. It is slower but can be a strong budget replacement in sacrifice shells.Noxious Gearhulkremoval$3.03This is not a direct trigger match, but it is a black creature that provides removal and life swing on entry, fitting the same midgame black stabilizer role. It offers a much larger one-time impact than Wretched Anurid.Midnight Reapercard_draw$0.26A black creature that rewards creature deaths with cards, playing in the same grindy attrition decks that like Wretched Anurid. It trades life loss for card advantage, which is often a strict improvement in sacrifice strategies.
