Shriekmawremoval$0.22Very close functional cousin: an evasive creature that removes a nonartifact, nonblack creature on entry. It also leaves behind a body and is often stronger in decks that can exploit evoke.Ravenous Chupacabraremoval$0.40A classic creature-based kill spell that destroys a creature when it enters the battlefield. It lacks evasion and color restrictions, but serves the same removal slot.Nekrataalremoval$0.29One of the closest old-school analogs: a creature that destroys a nonartifact, nonblack creature on ETB and carries deathtouch-like combat utility through first strike. It is slower, but the role is nearly identical.Kagemaro, First to Sufferutility$2.12Not a direct ETB kill spell, but a black creature that can function as board control and removal in creature-heavy decks. It fills a similar black utility-creature role at a comparable mana point.Fleshbag Marauderremoval$0.30A black creature that provides removal on entry by forcing each player to sacrifice a creature. It is different in targeting, but similarly serves as creature-based removal in black.Merciless Executionerremoval$0.71This is a functional variant of Fleshbag Marauder, giving black decks another creature-based sacrifice effect. It’s often used in the same role as Bone Shredder-style creature removal.Plaguecrafterremoval$0.43A stronger upgrade to the sacrifice-removal creature slot, trading a higher cost for broader utility against creatures and planeswalkers. It fills the same black disruption role.Bone PickerutilityBudget$0.15A cheap flying black creature that acts as an efficient evasive threat after a creature dies. While not removal itself, it pairs well with the same black attrition gameplan and curve.
