Show and Tellcheat_onto_battlefield$27.89It creates the same high-variance cheat-into-play effect by letting each player put a permanent from hand onto the battlefield. Braids, Conjurer Adept is the creature version of this symmetrical effect.Quicksilver Amuletcheat_onto_battlefield$2.96Like Braids, it helps put creatures onto the battlefield ahead of schedule, though it only works for creatures and only for you. It fills the same acceleration/cheat role in blue-based decks.Satoru Umezawacheat_onto_battlefield$1.95It enables cheating creatures onto the battlefield at reduced cost through combat damage triggers. While narrower, it serves the same role of bypassing normal mana costs for creatures.Belbe, Corrupted Observerramp$0.27Belbe gives everyone extra colorless mana during precombat main phases, similar to Braids’ asymmetrical acceleration feel. It can enable early deployment of big permanents in a multiplayer setting.Myojin of Life's Webcheat_onto_battlefield$6.40It can dump a large number of creatures from hand onto the battlefield at once, which echoes Braids’ ability to bypass mana costs. It is a powerful green analogue for cheating permanents into play.Tidespout Tyrantutility$1.06Once on the battlefield, it repeatedly bounces permanents whenever you cast spells, helping you abuse enters-the-battlefield and replay synergies around the same kind of tempo engine. It is a higher-end blue payoff for permanent-based abuse.VoidwalkutilityBudget$0.23It can temporarily remove a creature or land from the game and later return it, functioning as a blue control/value piece that interacts with permanents in a similar high-tempo shell. It is not the same effect, but it supports the same kind of cheat-and-abuse game plan.Alurencheat_onto_battlefield$56.15Aluren lets players cast certain small creatures for free, creating a similar ‘ignore mana costs’ board pattern. It is one of the closest functional cousins to Braids in enabling explosive battlefield development.
