Duressdiscard$0.19One-mana black hand disruption that strips a noncreature, nonland card before it can be used. It fills the same early-game discard role at a very similar cost.Inquisition of Kozilekdiscard$0.53Premium one-mana discard that takes a wider range of cheap spells and threats than Dread Fugue's cleaved mode. It is one of the closest strict upgrades for early disruption.Thoughtseizediscard$12.47The strongest one-mana discard spell in black, trading 2 life for any nonland card. It is a direct functional upgrade when you want the most flexible hand disruption.DisfigureremovalBudget$0.06Cheap black interaction in the same low-cost slot, though it removes a creature on the battlefield rather than a card from hand. It is a budget alternative when your deck wants early disruption specifically.Dead WeightremovalBudget$0.04Low-cost black removal that answers an early creature efficiently and is often played in similar decks seeking cheap interaction. While not discard, it serves the same early tempo-disruption role.DespisediscardBudget$0.10A black one-mana discard spell that targets creatures and planeswalkers, making it close in feel to Dread Fugue's low-cost hand attack. It is narrower in some matchups but still an efficient option.Stupordiscard$0.22A more expensive but broader two-card discard effect that can generate strong tempo swings. It is a functional cousin for decks that want hand disruption with more raw card denial.UnburdendiscardBudget$0.08Repeatable-style discard at a higher cost that can strip a card from hand while also cycling away when needed. It is a budget-friendly alternative for black disruption shells.
