Ghastly GloomhunterremovalBudget$0.06A black one-mana removal-style trick that weakens a creature, though it does not create a token. It fills the same early interaction slot in black decks.DisfigureremovalBudget$0.06Very close to Fungal Infection as a 1-mana instant that shrinks a creature at instant speed. It trades the token upside for a more reliable -2/-2 effect.Dead WeightremovalBudget$0.04Cheap black creature interaction that reduces toughness and can effectively remove small threats. It is sorcery-speed and enchantment-based, but plays a similar role for one mana.Tragic Slipremoval$0.25A one-mana black removal spell that can shrink a creature immediately, and sometimes becomes a true kill spell. It is a strong functional cousin for low-cost black interaction.Virulent Woundremoval$0.23Like Fungal Infection, it is a black one-mana instant that debuffs a creature. It does less upfront damage but adds poison pressure and a proliferate-style payoff in some lines.Bone Splintersremoval$0.12Black removal that uses a small creature token or expendable body as a resource, similar to Fungal Infection's token-oriented play pattern. It is broader removal but requires a sacrifice.Chainer's Edictremoval$0.21A black removal spell that can handle creatures efficiently, especially in token or attrition shells. It is more expensive, but it serves a similar role of low-cost creature control.Bile Blightremoval$0.23A black instant that efficiently shrinks or wipes out small creatures, making it a stronger version of early black creature interaction. It costs more but is more impactful against token strategies.
