Ray of Frostutility$0.08A blue instant that taps a creature and can keep it from untapping, while also replacing itself with a card draw effect. It plays the same tempo-control role as a cantrip freeze spell.Sleeputility$0.13Same core game plan of locking down creatures for a turn cycle to push damage or buy time. It is much broader in impact, though it costs more mana.Frost BreathutilityBudget$0.05Very similar temporary creature lockdown that prevents two threats from untapping. It lacks the draw, but matches the blue tempo/control function closely.Claustrophobiaremoval$0.12A classic blue creature pacification spell that effectively removes a blocker from combat for multiple turns. It is sorcery-speed enchantment removal rather than instant, but serves the same control role.Frost LynxutilityBudget$0.05Shares the tap-and-fail-to-untap tempo effect on a creature, just attached to a body instead of a spell. It is a functional budget-style substitute for stalling an attacker.Sleep of the Deadutility$0.19A blue tap-down spell that can continually suppress a creature and other permanents in the right setup. It is slower and more recursive, but overlaps in stall/control function.Frost BiteremovalBudget$0.04A low-cost blue-red-style tempo removal option when you have snow support, often acting as cheap interaction. It does not tap, but is a similarly efficient early-game answer in the same cost range.Icebind Pillarutility$0.10A repeatable tap-down effect that can keep a creature effectively out of combat over time. It fills the same board-control niche, especially in slower blue decks.
