Lotus Petalramp$40.80Zero-mana artifact that converts itself into one mana of any color, serving as a fast ritual-like resource burst. It is weaker in quantity but similar in the role of explosive early acceleration.Jeweled Lotusramp$77.31Fast artifact mana that can be sacrificed for a large burst to help deploy expensive plays early. It is more restrictive and legendary-focused, but fills a similar explosive acceleration role.Lion's Eye Diamondramp$590.42Very close functional cousin: both are sacrifice-based artifacts that produce a large burst of mana at instant speed with a discard cost. LED is even more explosive and commonly used for combo lines.Crystal Veinramp$1.62A mana source that can be sacrificed for a large burst of colorless mana, enabling explosive turns. It lacks color fixing and the discard cost, but plays a similar temporary acceleration role.Hidden Herbalistsramp$0.11Creature-based ritual that can generate a burst of mana after a revolt trigger, often used for combo acceleration. It is less universal than Diamond Lion but fills the same temporary mana burst role.Culling the Weakramp$19.62Sacrifices a creature to produce a big mana burst, making it a close functional analogue in black combo shells. It is a spell rather than a reusable permanent, but the sacrifice-for-mana pattern is similar.Dark Ritualramp$5.91Classic one-shot ritual that trades a card for a substantial black mana burst. It is narrower in color but occupies the same combo-acceleration slot.Seething Songramp$10.59Red ritual that turns a small investment into a large temporary mana burst, often powering out combo turns. It doesn’t require a sacrifice, but matches the explosive acceleration function.
