Shalai, Voice of Plentyprotection$2.02Provides team-wide protection for your creatures and scales into a stronger defensive threat. It fills a very similar role as a green-white-blue protection piece, though it protects via hexproof rather than shroud.Silumgar, the Drifting Deathutility$0.69A flying dragon that can act as a board-control utility creature in a similar midrange slot. While not a direct protection effect, it occupies a comparable high-cost evasive creature role in blue-green-white-ish control shells.Liege of the Tanglefinisher$1.66A high-cost green creature that can stabilize games with a large body and board presence. It is not a direct substitute, but it serves as a top-end battlefield-impact creature in ramp shells.Privileged Positionprotection$3.89Grants your permanents protection from targeted effects by making them much harder to interact with. It is a stronger and more static version of the same protective game plan, especially in green-white-blue decks.Greater Auramancyprotection$22.91Protects your enchanted board from targeting, functioning as a resilience piece in controlling decks. While narrower, it is a strong budget/constructed alternative for protection-based strategies.Asceticismprotection$7.03Gives your creatures hexproof and a regeneration option, which closely mirrors the defensive purpose of Aerie Mystics. It is one of the best broad creature-protection enchantments in green.Steely Resolveprotection$16.61A cheap way to give a chosen creature type shroud, offering a very similar anti-targeting payoff. It is narrower and symmetrical, but can be excellent in tribal decks.Spectral ShepherdprotectionBudget$0.06A flying white-blue-style defensive creature that can protect another creature by returning a Spirit. It shares the evasive support-creature feel and plays in a similar utility slot.
