Diplomatic Immunityprotection$1.50It is another low-cost blue Aura that protects a creature by making it very hard to target. Compared to Alexi's Cloak, it is even stickier because the Aura itself also has shroud.Vanishingprotection$0.57This Aura also protects a creature from interaction, but does so by phasing it out instead of granting shroud. It fills the same defensive niche in blue and can be used at instant speed via its activated ability.Curator's Wardprotection$0.34A blue protection Aura that can help shield a creature from removal by making it difficult to interact with once it is on the battlefield. It is a close defensive alternative that can also replace itself under the right conditions.Shielding PlaxprotectionBudget$0.15This Aura protects a creature by preventing it from being targeted while also cantripping. It serves a similar protective role, though it adds green to the color identity.Mortal ObstinacyprotectionBudget$0.10It is a cheap protective Aura that helps keep a creature around by discouraging removal and can generate value when the creature is targeted or dies. While not shroud, it plays a similar defensive support role.Neurok Stealthsuitprotection$1.53This is not an Aura, but it provides a very similar function by giving a creature shroud for a low mana investment. It is one of the closest functional alternatives for protecting a key creature.Lightning Greavesprotection$4.63It protects a creature by granting shroud, which is the key function of Alexi's Cloak.

It is a strong functional replacement for keeping an important creature safe.
