Lightning Strikeremoval$0.11A cheap red removal spell that can hit creatures and sometimes finish players off. It trades the sorcery-speed, creature-only damage for instant speed and flexibility.Abraderemoval$0.32Similar red interaction at the same cost, with the option to remove a creature or an artifact. It is slightly less efficient at pure creature damage but more flexible overall.Flame Slashremoval$0.28Very close in function as a cheap sorcery that deals 4 damage to a creature. It is narrower than Cut because it cannot hit players, but it matches the damage-to-cost profile well.Fireboltremoval$0.13A low-cost red removal spell that can pick off small creatures early and be used again from the graveyard later. It is weaker per cast than Cut but offers recursion and flexibility.Skredremoval$1.47A one-mana removal spell that can deal a large amount of damage to a creature in snow decks. It can exceed Cut’s damage output, but requires snow mana base support.Bedevilremoval$0.45A black-red answer that cleanly removes creatures, artifacts, or planeswalkers. It costs more than Cut but is a strict upgrade in versatility for Rakdos decks.Terminateremoval$0.43A classic Rakdos removal spell that destroys a creature outright without regeneration. It costs the same total mana as Cut and is better against larger creatures, though it cannot hit noncreatures.Dreadboreremoval$0.42A Rakdos sorcery-speed removal spell that can kill a creature or planeswalker. It is broader than Cut but lacks Cut’s ability to deal 4 damage directly at instant-like efficiency.
