Trinisphereprotection$20.15A classic tax piece that slows explosive turns by making cheap chains much harder to deploy. It fills a similar anti-combo, anti-storm role in artifact-based lock shells.Thorn of Amethystprotection$1.16Taxes noncreature spells and is especially effective against storm and spell-heavy combo decks. Like Damping Sphere, it punishes players trying to cast multiple spells in one turn.Sphere of Resistanceprotection$26.94A broad artifact tax that makes every spell cost more, slowing down combo and tempo decks. It overlaps with Damping Sphere as a generic anti-explosion hate piece.Leonin ArbiterutilityBudget$0.30Not a spell tax, but it is a cheap hatebear that disrupts efficient resource development and combo setup. It serves a similar role in slowing opposing game plans at low cost.God-Pharaoh's Statueprotection$0.78A stronger late-game version of a tax effect that increases spell costs for opponents. It serves the same anti-combo role but at a much higher mana investment.Cursed Totemutility$7.51A low-cost artifact hate card that shuts down many activated abilities, often buying time against combo decks. While not the same effect, it is a comparable colorless disruptive tool.Torpor Orbutility$10.18Another cheap artifact hate piece that blanks enter-the-battlefield combo engines. It occupies a similar role as a colorless hate card that disrupts specific deck types.Chalice of the Voidprotection$13.29A premier colorless anti-combo artifact that can severely restrict low-cost spell chains. It is one of the closest functional equivalents for stopping storm-like turns, though more flexible in setup.
