Ravenous ChupacabraremovalBudget$0.40A very close functional analogue: a creature that removes another creature when it enters the battlefield. It trades red for black and damage-based removal for destroy-based removal.
Flametongue YearlingremovalBudget$0.09A direct homage to Flametongue Kavu that deals damage when it enters and can scale up later. It is smaller, but it preserves the same red ETB damage-removal play pattern.
Atsushi, the Blazing Skyutility$0.84A red creature with immediate impact that can generate value when it dies, often used as a threat that pressures removal. It is not direct removal, but it serves a similar midrange creature-value role in red.
Keldon MaraudersremovalBudget$0.12A cheap red creature that provides immediate battlefield impact through damage and then leaves value behind. It is a budget-friendly aggressive equivalent to a creature that matters as soon as it enters.
Solemn SimulacrumutilityBudget$0.23A classic value creature that replaces itself and stabilizes the board, often occupying the same midrange slot as ETB creatures. It does not remove a creature directly, but it offers reliable tempo and card advantage.
Ingot ChewerremovalBudget$0.28An ETB creature with immediate interaction, removing a problematic artifact on entry. It matches the 'creature that answers something immediately' functional role, though against artifacts instead of creatures.
Avalanche RidersremovalBudget$0.31A red creature that creates immediate board impact through land destruction, fitting the same disruptive midrange creature role. It is a more tempo-oriented cousin to Flametongue Kavu.
Squee, Dubious MonarchutilityBudget$0.32A repeatable token-producing threat that keeps pressure on the board and can function as a grindy red value creature. It is less removal-oriented, but it occupies a similar slot as an efficient red creature that matters immediately.
