DisfigureremovalBudget$0.06A one-mana black instant that shrinks or kills early creatures efficiently, filling the same cheap interaction slot. It is better as a clean combat trick removal spell, but lacks dredge recursion.Tragic Slipremoval$0.25Another very cheap black removal spell that can answer small creatures immediately. It is more flexible if morbid is enabled, but is not reusable like Darkblast.Snuff Outremoval$5.85Free or near-free black removal that serves a similar role of efficient creature interaction. It is much stronger against larger creatures, but has a different cost structure.Fatal Pushremoval$12.59Premium one-mana black removal for early creatures, often the most efficient replacement for Darkblast-style interaction. It hits harder targets than Darkblast, but does not recur from the graveyard.Dead WeightremovalBudget$0.04A low-cost black answer that effectively neutralizes small creatures, especially in grindy games. It is sorcery-speed enchantment removal rather than instant-speed shrinking.Virulent SwipeutilityBudget$0.11A one-mana black combat trick that can function as temporary creature removal by winning combat. It is narrower than Darkblast, but fills a similar early interaction role.Mishra's Factoryutility$30.20Not removal, but it is a classic repeatable source of small creature pressure and defense in grindy black decks that like recursive utility pieces. It plays a similar attrition game by coming back as a reusable threat rather than a spell.Bile Blightremoval$0.23A more expensive black instant that can shrink or kill multiple small creatures at once. It is broader in impact, but costs more mana and lacks dredge recursion.
