Pithing NeedleutilityBudget$1.50A cheap artifact that shuts off activated abilities, though it hits one named card rather than all creatures. It fills the same hate-piece role against combo and utility permanents.Sorcerous SpyglassutilityBudget$0.30Similar to Pithing Needle as a low-cost artifact that blanks activated abilities of a chosen permanent. It also gives hand information, making it a slightly broader utility piece.Phyrexian RevokerutilityBudget$0.33A creature-based hate piece that shuts off activated abilities of a named nonland card. It is more vulnerable than Cursed Totem but plays a similar disruptive role.Damping MatrixutilityBudget$0.68Another colorless artifact that hinders activated abilities, especially on artifacts and creatures with nonmana activated abilities. It is a broader but less absolute suppression effect.Linvala, Keeper of Silenceprotection$17.56A stronger version of the same creature-activated-ability hate, stopping opposing creatures from activating abilities entirely. It is the premium creature-based analogue.Overburdenutility$11.52Not the same text, but it attacks creature-heavy strategies by punishing creature deployment and slowing down activated-ability decks. It can serve as a stax-style anti-creature option in similar shells.Humilityutility$50.21A powerful lock piece that strips creatures of many abilities, often incidentally turning off activated abilities as well. It is much broader and much more expensive than Cursed Totem.Aven MindcensorutilityBudget$0.60While it doesn't stop activated abilities, it is a comparable hatebear for disrupting combo and tutor-driven creature decks. It often fills the same disruptive slot in white-based stax lists.
