Royal Assassinremoval$1.09Like Gorgon Recluse, this creature acts as repeatable creature removal tied to combat and punishes opposing attackers or blockers. It has a similar black-control role, though it works by tapping rather than only in combat with nonblack creatures.Morkrut BansheeremovalBudget$0.05A black creature that kills another creature when it enters or triggers morbid, filling a similar midrange removal-on-a-body role. It is more conditional, but serves the same kind of board-control function.Nekrataalremoval$0.29Provides creature removal stapled to a body, similar to Gorgon Recluse as a black creature that helps stabilize the board. It is narrower against nonartifact, nonblack creatures but gives immediate value.Shriekmawremoval$0.22Another classic black removal creature that can clear a threat on entry while leaving behind a body. It overlaps in role as a creature-based control piece, with evasion and evoke flexibility.Dread Slaverremoval$0.25Like Gorgon Recluse, it turns combat into punishment for the opponent and can remove creatures through combat damage. Its recursion and threat-turned-removal play pattern make it a similar black combat creature.Viscera Draggerutility$0.09A black creature with madness that can be discarded and used from the graveyard, matching the source card's discard synergy. While it is not removal, it is a similarly costed black madness creature with comparable graveyard utility.Twisted AbominationutilityBudget$0.05Shares the black creature-plus-madness identity and can be discarded for value, making it a close functional cousin in graveyard-based black decks. It is more about fixing and recursion than removal, but occupies a similar slot in madness shells.Stinkweed Imputility$1.11Another black creature that dominates combat through deathtouch-like combat deterrence and graveyard synergy. It is cheaper and more defensive, but serves a similar role as a punishing blocker in black decks.
