SkullcrackutilityBudget$0.21This is the closest functional cousin in red: it stops damage prevention for the turn while also blanking life gain, making it strong against fogs and prevention effects.Leyline of Punishmentutility$2.95It permanently shuts off damage prevention for your opponents, serving the same anti-fog purpose over a longer duration. It is a stronger but much more expensive setup card.Questing Beastutility$2.82One of its combat damage clauses prevents damage from being prevented, letting it push through fogs and damage prevention just like Flaring Pain. It does much more overall, but at a higher cost.Burning Earthutility$3.38Not a direct substitute, but it punishes multicolor decks in a way that complements red anti-defense plans and can serve as a hate piece in similar shells. It is slower and more board-dependent.Reverberateutility$2.83While it doesn't prevent damage prevention, it can copy key burn spells or anti-fog effects to help force through lethal in similar red combo/burn shells. It fills a comparable role as a cheap reactive instant.Red Elemental Blastprotection$29.99A cheap red instant that answers blue interaction and can protect a lethal turn in the same kind of low-cost reactive slot as Flaring Pain. It is narrower, but similarly efficient.Pyroblastprotection$8.47Functionally similar to Red Elemental Blast, this is another ultra-efficient red instant used to force through a key turn against blue decks. It is not damage-prevention hate, but it occupies the same protective role.
