Shockremoval$0.30A very close red one-mana burn spell that can remove small creatures or finish planeswalkers and players. It is the simplest budget baseline for Frost Bite's role, though it lacks the snow scaling.Play with Fireremoval$0.22Same general role as a cheap red instant that can kill small creatures or planeswalkers while also going face. The scry adds flexibility, but it does not scale with snow permanents.Wild Slashremoval$0.20A one-mana red instant that functions as efficient early removal and can also ping players. It is slightly narrower than Frost Bite against larger threats, but sits in the same mana slot.Lightning Boltremoval$2.13The premium version of cheap red burn, trading Frost Bite's conditional scaling for consistent 3 damage to any target. It is a strict upgrade in raw efficiency in most formats.Lava Spikeremoval$0.98A budget burn option in the same cost range that can also end games quickly, though it cannot hit creatures or planeswalkers. It is only similar in the broader role of one-mana red damage spells.Abraderemoval$0.32A flexible red instant that can remove early creatures or artifacts, occupying the same cheap interaction slot. It costs more, but offers broader utility than Frost Bite.Fire Prophecyremoval$0.08Another cheap red removal spell that can clean up small creatures while filtering a card in the late game. It is a strong functional cousin, though it trades damage efficiency for selection.Bloodchief's Thirstremoval$0.10A one-mana removal spell in the same broad early-interaction category, with flexible scaling into larger threats. It is black rather than red, but similar as a cheap spot removal tool.
