Ghostly Prisontax_pillow_fort$6.46This is the closest analogue to Archangel of Tithes on defense, taxing attackers before they can swing at you or your planeswalkers. It is a cheaper, enchantment-based version of the same combat tax effect.Windborn Musetax_pillow_fortBudget$0.48Provides a similar flying body with a Ghostly Prison-style tax on attacks against you. It fills the same pillow-fort role while being more budget-friendly and less flexible in combat.Sphere of Safetytax_pillow_fortBudget$3.02This is a stronger late-game version of the attack-tax plan, often imposing a much larger payment to attack you. It serves the same defensive role but scales better in enchantment-heavy decks.Norn's Annextax_pillow_fort$6.48Like Archangel of Tithes, it discourages attacks through a payment tax and makes combat against you awkward. It is especially punishing in life-total-based formats and can complement the Archangel effect.Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffstax_pillow_fortBudget$0.21This creates a similar anti-attack deterrent by making combat against you expensive in resources, though through token generation instead of a tax. It is a comparable red pillow-fort threat with a different payoff.Thalia, Heretic Cathartax_tempoBudget$2.21It doesn't tax attacks directly, but it slows down opposing creatures in a similar white tempo/control role by making their creatures enter tapped. That creates the same kind of combat friction Archangel of Tithes does.Blind Obediencetax_tempo$5.34This is a lighter, enchantment-based tax piece that slows opposing artifacts and creatures by making them enter tapped. It plays a similar stalling role in white control shells.Archon of Absolutiontax_pillow_fortBudget$0.16This creature is very close in function, taxing attacks against you while also providing a flying white body. It is effectively a more modern, defensively focused version of the same effect.
