Nighthawk Scavengerutility$1.27Similar combat-stall creature that combines deathtouch and lifelink with evasive pressure, but its power/toughness are variable.
Witch's FamiliarutilityBudget$0.04Budget alternative that shares deathtouch and plays as a defensive black blocker, though it lacks lifelink and has defender.
