Oblationremoval$0.59Flexible white instant interaction that removes a problematic permanent at instant speed, similar to Cut Short’s reactive removal role. It can answer planeswalkers cleanly by shuffling them away, though the card draw gives the opponent compensation.Desparkremoval$1.33Efficient white-black exile removal for high-value permanents, often functioning as a clean answer to planeswalkers and other threats. It is less conditional than Cut Short but serves the same spot-removal purpose.Fateful Absenceremoval$0.61Instant-speed removal for creatures or planeswalkers in white, making it one of the closest functional analogs. It is cheaper than Cut Short but gives the opponent a Clue token.Anguished Unmakingremoval$12.94Premium instant-speed exile that hits any nonland permanent, including planeswalkers, and is a strict upgrade in flexibility. The life loss is the main drawback compared to Cut Short’s narrower effect.Generous Giftremoval$1.21White instant removal that destroys any permanent, including planeswalkers, making it a versatile answer in the same interaction slot. The 3/3 token drawback is the tradeoff for its flexibility.Crush Contrabandremoval$0.27Instant-speed white removal that exiles an artifact and/or enchantment, serving as a similar reactive utility spell in control shells. It is narrower than Cut Short but is often a strong sideboard or main-deck answer in white.Loran's Escapeutility$0.85Low-cost white instant protection/removal support card that can save a key permanent while also handling artifacts or enchantments. It is not a direct removal spell like Cut Short, but it fills a similar cheap interaction role in white decks.Lay Down Armsremoval$0.39Efficient white removal spell for creature-based metagames, providing cheap interaction that scales with Plains. While it cannot hit planeswalkers, it occupies a similar slot as a low-cost white answer.
