Nimble Obstructionistutility$0.39Not a removal spell, but it can function as a flexible answer by countering activated or triggered abilities and disrupting key plays at instant speed. It fits the same low-commitment utility slot in colorless-heavy shells.Pyrite Spellbombremoval$0.16Very similar role as a cheap artifact that can be cashed in for direct damage to any target. It also replaces itself for a small extra cost, making it a strong functional equivalent.Aether Spellbombutility$0.28Same cheap artifact-mana investment with a sacrifice activation, providing flexible interaction from the battlefield. While it bounces instead of dealing damage, it fills a similar utility/removal role.Chromatic Starutility$0.33A comparable 1-mana artifact that can be sacrificed for value, often used as a low-cost utility piece in artifact decks. It does not remove threats, but serves a similar disposable artifact role.Implement of Combustionremoval$0.24A low-cost red artifact that can be sacrificed for damage-related value and replaces itself. It is slower than Explosive Apparatus, but occupies a similar budget artifact utility slot.Flingremoval$0.34Like Explosive Apparatus, it converts a resource into direct damage to any target, often ending games or removing creatures. It is not an artifact, but the functional damage role is close.Lash Outremoval$0.11A cheap red removal spell that can deal 3 damage and sometimes generate extra upside. It plays the same early-game spot removal role, though with a different targeting restriction.Shockremoval$0.30The closest budget instant-speed burn alternative, trading the artifact body for efficiency and flexibility. It covers the same 2-damage removal role at a much lower cost.
