Thalia, Guardian of ThrabentaxBudget$0.39This is the closest functional analogue: a 2-mana white taxing creature that makes noncreature spells cost more. It is more efficient because it has first strike and is legendary.Vryn WingmaretaxBudget$0.24Another white creature that taxes noncreature spells by {1}, filling the same hatebear role. It costs the same amount of mana but is a flying body instead of a Cleric.Deafening Silencetax$0.87It attacks the same broad strategy by limiting noncreature spell chains, especially storm and spell-heavy decks. It is cheaper, but narrower because it only stops players from casting multiple noncreature spells each turn.Archon of Emeriatax$2.67A strong white taxing creature that slows noncreature-heavy decks and fetch-heavy mana bases. It adds a second tax on nonbasic lands entering tapped, making it broader but at a higher mana cost.Thalia, Heretic Cathartax$2.21While not a spell tax, it serves a similar disruptive white hatebear function by making opponents' nonbasic lands and creatures enter tapped. It is a comparable midrange annoyance piece that slows opposing development.Sanctum Prelatetax$3.08This is another white disruptive creature that can lock out large portions of an opponent's noncreature game plan by naming a mana value. It is more selective than Glowrider but often more powerful in practice.Kambal, Consul of Allocationtax$7.40Kambal taxes noncreature spells in a different way by draining life whenever opponents cast them. It fits the same anti-spell, attrition-based role at the same mana cost.Eidolon of RhetorictaxBudget$0.44This enchantment-creature restricts spell-heavy decks by allowing only one spell per turn, overlapping with Glowrider's anti-storm and anti-combo purpose. It is slightly more restrictive but less of a mana tax.
