Undying Maliceprotection$7.00Very close combat trick/protection spell for black decks: it saves a creature from dying and brings it back with a counter. It’s a clean, efficient alternative at the same low mana slot.Feign Deathprotection$0.94Nearly the same effect as Fake Your Own Death, with the creature returning tapped with a +1/+1 counter instead of making a Treasure. It fills the same one-mana black save-a-creature role.Undying Evilprotection$0.47A classic one-mana black protection trick that brings a creature back with a +1/+1 counter. It serves the same “save a creature and reuse enter-the-battlefield/death triggers” function.Supernatural Staminaprotection$0.21Very similar rescue spell for black decks, letting a creature return after dying and often effectively replacing itself in combat math. It’s a budget-friendly comparable option.Not Dead After Allprotection$1.64Another black death-replacement trick that returns a creature with a counter and adds a small sacrifice-style upside. It plays in the same niche of cheap creature insurance.Persistrecursion$3.68A broader recursion effect that returns a creature from the graveyard after it dies, though it works only on non-legendary creatures without a -1/-1 counter. It’s a slightly different but similar graveyard-recovery tool.Kaya's Ghostformprotection$1.13Protects creatures or permanents from dying or being exiled by returning them to the battlefield. It’s less combat-focused, but it fills the same cheap black protection niche.Ghoulish Processiontoken_generation$0.19A grindy black enchantment that rewards creature deaths by replacing them with tokens, which is a different angle on death value. It’s useful as a budget-friendly payoff for self-sacrifice shells.
