Claustrophobiaremoval$0.12A straightforward blue answer that keeps a creature from untapping and also taps it when it enters. It fills the same role of neutralizing an opposing creature, though without the power/toughness boost.Pacifismremoval$0.10Similar low-cost creature suppression that removes combat usefulness for a minimal investment. It is less restrictive than Cement Shoes because the creature can still tap for abilities.Bound in Goldremoval$0.08Efficient white removal that shuts off a creature’s combat and activated ability use by stopping it from attacking, blocking, or using abilities. It’s a stronger all-around shutoff, though it doesn’t explicitly prevent untapping.Frost Breathremoval$0.05Temporary but efficient tapping-based removal that can buy multiple turns against two threats. It plays in the same space of creature suppression through tapping, though it is one-shot instead of permanent.Icy Manipulatorutility$111.66Classic repeatable tap-down artifact that can keep key creatures from acting turn after turn. It is more flexible and colorless, but lacks the stat boost and built-in lock of Cement Shoes.Manifold Keyutility$1.46Provides reusable untap/tap utility and can interact with your own creatures or artifacts repeatedly. It is not direct removal, but it occupies a similar low-cost artifact utility slot in decks that want board manipulation.Grafted Exoskeletonutility$5.65Cheap Equipment that significantly changes a creature’s combat impact through a large stat modification. It is more aggressive than Cement Shoes, but similar as a low-cost Equipment that strongly modifies one creature.Argentum Armorutility$2.92Equipment that dramatically changes a creature’s battlefield impact and can function as a major permanent answer through combat triggers. It is much pricier, but serves as a comparable high-impact Equipment payoff.
