Thoughtseizeutility$12.47One of the closest hand-disruption spells, trading discard-for-exile and no reveal for the ability to take any nonland card from hand. It is stronger because it hits anything immediately for just one mana.Inquisition of Kozilekutility$0.53A highly efficient discard spell that takes many early nonland cards from hand, though it cannot hit everything Castigate can. It is a staple budget-friendly and competitive alternative in black-based disruption decks.Duressutility$0.19Very similar disruption role against noncreature, nonland cards, but it is narrower than Castigate. It is a common low-cost option for stripping key spells from control or combo opponents.Despiseutility$0.10Hits creatures or planeswalkers from hand instead of any nonland card, making it narrower but still a comparable one-for-one hand disruption spell. It fills the same proactive disruption slot at the same mana cost.Tidehollow Scullerutility$0.28Comparable black-white disruption that exiles a card from an opponent’s hand, with the added upside of being attached to a creature. It is more vulnerable, but can generate value and pressure on board.Sin CollectorutilityBudget$0.09A strong Orzhov hand-hate creature that exiles an instant or sorcery from an opponent’s hand, often functioning like a more selective Castigate. It is narrower, but provides board presence alongside disruption.Anguished Unmakingremoval$12.94A premium Orzhov removal spell that exiles any nonland permanent rather than a card from hand, so it serves a different but similarly flexible exile-based answer role. It is a stronger catch-all at instant speed.Mortifyremoval$0.27A classic black-white interactive spell that removes either a creature or enchantment at instant speed, occupying the same general two-mana Orzhov interaction slot. It is more board-focused than Castigate but similarly efficient.
