Icy Manipulatorutility$111.66Classic repeatable artifact-based tap effect that can shut down attackers, blockers, or utility creatures. It serves a very similar board-control role, though without the Empires payoff.Master Decoyutility$0.15Provides reusable creature tapping as a form of control and tempo, much like Crown of Empires. It is cheaper to activate in color identity terms, but not an artifact.Basilisk Collarutility$3.77Not a tap effect itself, but it can turn repeated tap pings or combat interactions into strong creature control when paired with other effects. It is a common utility artifact in similar low-cost control shells.Relic Barrierutility$0.18Very close in function as a repeatable artifact that taps permanents for board control. It is narrower than Crown of Empires but occupies the same utility slot.Orb of Dreamsutility$2.59A cheap artifact that slows opposing creature deployment, functioning as a colorless tempo-control piece. It is not targeted tap control, but it fills a similar stalling role.Howling Minecard_draw$4.95Another low-cost artifact from the old colorless value/control space, often played alongside board-stall packages. It does not tap creatures, but it supports the same kind of artifact-based engine deck.Puppet Stringsutility$1.14Directly comparable repeatable tap utility on an artifact body, with flexibility to tap or untap creatures. It is one of the closest functional analogues to Crown of Empires.Throne of the High Cityutility$0.26A colorless utility artifact land that supports artifact-centric control strategies and can generate repeatable advantage. It is not a tapper, but it fits the same low-cost artifact utility role.
