Fleshbag Marauderremoval$0.30Very close functional analogue: a sacrifice-on-entry creature that forces each player to sacrifice a creature. It plays the same edict role and is often stronger because it works immediately and can be recurred.Merciless Executionerremoval$0.71This is essentially the same edict effect as Abyssal Gatekeeper, making each player sacrifice a creature. It has the same creature-based removal role and similar deck usage.Plaguecrafterremoval$0.43An edict creature that forces each player to sacrifice a creature or planeswalker, giving broader utility than Gatekeeper. It fits the same sacrifice-removal shell and can be more flexible.Demon's Discipleremoval$0.34Another sacrifice creature that produces a symmetric edict effect, closely matching Gatekeeper's board-control role. It is a straightforward budget-friendly substitute in sacrifice decks.Krav, the Unredeemedutility$3.09While not the same exact effect, Krav uses sacrifice as a central resource and can convert creatures into cards and life, serving a similar black sacrifice-shell role. It is a stronger engine but in a higher mana bracket.Burglar Ratutility$0.24This card fills the same low-cost sacrifice/edict disruption niche by forcing each opponent to sacrifice a creature? Actually it is discard, not creature removal, so it is not a close functional match.Chainer's Edictremoval$0.21A classic black removal spell that makes a player sacrifice a creature, functioning as a direct one-for-one edict. It is a noncreature version of the same game plan and often more efficient in control decks.Diabolic Edictremoval$0.18A simple, efficient edict effect that forces a player to sacrifice a creature, matching the removal function of Abyssal Gatekeeper. It is cheaper and more immediately available as a spell rather than a creature.
