Ledger Shreddercard_draw$6.69A cheap blue-black multicolor creature that provides ongoing card selection and flying pressure. While it lacks deathtouch, it fills a similar role as an efficient value creature in UB shells.Glen Elendra Archmageutility$11.83A blue-black-style utility flyer that can generate advantage through protection and tempo. It occupies a similar low-curve interactive slot in decks that want evasive bodies with value.Nightveil Spritecard_drawBudget$0.07A cheap evasive blue-black creature that helps smooth draws and applies pressure. It is a budget-leaning alternative to a value flyer, though its card advantage is more indirect.Tidehollow StrixremovalBudget$0.19This is the closest functional analogue: a two-mana artifact creature with flying and deathtouch. It gives similar combat control and evasive presence, though it does not replace itself on ETB.Storm Fleet Spycard_drawBudget$0.12A small evasive creature that replaces itself with card selection on attack, functioning as a value flyer. It is weaker in combat than Baleful Strix but similar in role as an early cantrip body.Hostage TakerremovalBudget$0.23A stronger, more expensive value creature that interacts with opposing permanents and generates card advantage. It overlaps with Baleful Strix as an ETB creature that stabilizes the board while providing a body.Vedalken CertarchutilityBudget$0.07An affordable artifact-support creature that can control combat and buy time. It is much narrower, but it can fill a similar utility role in artifact-heavy blue decks.Phyrexian Metamorphutility$4.04A premium utility artifact creature that copies the best creature or artifact on the table and often creates immediate value. It is a more powerful, flexible alternative in the same artifact-creature ecosystem.
