SmallpoxutilityBudget$0.37Like Forbidden Ritual, it pressures the opponent through sacrifice and discard while also creating a harsh resource-trade pattern. It is a symmetrical but similarly punishing black attrition spell.Poxutility$5.58This is the classic black attrition spell that attacks life, hand, creatures, and lands at once, similar to Forbidden Ritual's repeated sacrifice-or-discard punishment. It is broader and more symmetrical, but plays in the same resource-denial space.Delirium Skeinscard_disruptionBudget$0.27It forces each player to discard, echoing the discard-pressure mode of Forbidden Ritual. It is cheaper and simpler, but serves the same hand-attack role in black decks.Syphon Mindcard_disruptionBudget$0.37A black sorcery that drains opponents' hands for a strong discard effect, similar to the repeated discard pressure in Forbidden Ritual. It lacks the sacrifice clause, but fills the same attrition role.Painful Quandaryutility$2.05This creates a recurring sacrifice-or-discard tax much like Forbidden Ritual's iterative choice punishment. It is slower and more expensive, but very close in gameplay pattern.Burglar Ratcard_disruptionBudget$0.24This is a cheap hand-attack creature that forces discard on entry, matching one of Forbidden Ritual's two main pressure modes. It is smaller and more efficient, especially in sacrifice shells.Liliana's Spectercard_disruption$3.03Like Forbidden Ritual, it makes an opponent discard while leaving behind a body to sacrifice later or reuse with recursion. It is a more modest version of black attrition at a lower cost.Rankle, Master of Pranksutility$3.08Rankle combines discard and sacrifice pressure in a repeatable, modal way that echoes Forbidden Ritual's choice-driven punishment. It is more flexible and stronger overall, though at a higher mana cost.
