Sengir Vampireutility$499.00A classic black evasive creature that fills a similar airborne threat role. It costs a bit more, but it offers stronger long-game scaling through combat.
Sewer Nemesisutility$0.86Black flying creature that can serve as a repeatable evasive attacker. It has a higher ceiling and scales with graveyard resources rather than being just a simple flyer.
Crypt Ratsutility$0.45A black creature in a similar mana range that can occupy the same role as a board presence in black decks. It trades evasion for a powerful control-oriented ability.
Nighthawk Scavengerutility$1.27A black flyer that plays the same evasive creature role while adding lifelink and deathtouch. It is much stronger overall, though its cost is higher and its power scales differently.
Vampire Nighthawkutility$0.20Very close functional upgrade to a black flyer, giving combat dominance and resilience through lifelink and deathtouch. It is one of the best direct replacements for a small black evasive creature.
Abyssal Specterutility$0.20Another black flying creature in the same general role of early evasive pressure. It is a bit more disruptive in combat, though it costs more and has a different attack trigger.
Hypnotic Specterutility$39.45A famous black flying threat that fills the same slot of an evasive early creature. It is more impactful thanks to its discard trigger, but it is less consistent and costs more.
Foul Spiritutility$0.98A black flying creature that is similarly small and aggressive in role. It is a straightforward evasive body that can substitute for a simple flyer in black.
