Wail of the Nimutility$0.28A black combat trick that can make creatures harder to block and also doubles as a graveyard/value spell depending on board state. It fills a similar niche of temporary evasion at a comparable cost.Geth's Verdictremoval$0.22Another black tempo/disruption spell that changes combat in your favor by weakening an opposing creature and pushing damage through. It serves as a low-cost interactive alternative in the same color.Cloak of Confusionutility$0.15This provides temporary evasion-like combat manipulation in black, helping a creature slip past blockers. It is a close functional cousin to the cycling mode on Dirge of Dread.Tainted Strikeprotection$1.94A cheap black trick that can suddenly make combat lethal by giving a creature a combat-breaking evasion/damage boost in a different way. It plays the same role of enabling surprise attacks.Fearutility$4.73The most direct one-creature version of the same evasion effect, giving fear permanently rather than just until end of turn. It is a simple, budget-friendly analogue.Intimidationutility$0.77A broader boardwide evasion enabler that makes your creatures much harder to block, similar to the main mode of Dirge of Dread. It trades fear for intimidate but fills the same combat role.Crypt Feasterutility$0.11A black creature that can make itself unblockable against many boards by leveraging fear-style evasion. It is not a spell, but it occupies the same combat-evasion space.Necropedeutility$0.43While more of a board-control creature, it supports black combat plans and punishes blocking, which can mimic the way Dirge of Dread helps push damage through. It is a budget-friendly functional alternative for aggressive decks.
