Blood Moonutility$8.90Like Contamination, it can heavily constrain opponents' mana development and turn nonbasic lands into a major liability. It is a classic prison piece that attacks mana bases rather than creatures directly.Magus of the MoonutilityBudget$4.89A creature-based version of a mana-denial effect that punishes greedy mana bases by changing land functionality. It fills a similar lock role while being easier to tutor in creature-heavy shells.Back to BasicsutilityBudget$3.56A strong mana-denial enchantment that keeps opponents from using their lands normally. It serves a similar prison role by restricting mana availability, though it targets nonbasic lands differently.Winter Orbutility$13.56This is another classic resource-denial piece that slows the whole table's mana production. It shares Contamination's function of locking opponents out of casting spells efficiently.Tangle Wireutility$31.25A temporary prison effect that taxes permanents and mana development over several turns. It performs a similar stall/lock function in aggressive denial decks.OppressionutilityBudget$2.65Like Contamination, it punishes spellcasting and creates a soft lock that can strand opponents. It fits black prison shells that aim to keep resources low.Infernal DarknessutilityBudget$2.48This card creates a similar black-mana lock by forcing lands to produce black mana and draining life to keep it active. It is one of the closest direct functional analogs to Contamination.Dystopiaremoval$7.02A black enchantment that repeatedly pressures green and white permanents, helping black-heavy prison strategies control the board. While not a mana lock, it fills a similar oppressive role in mono-black hate shells.
