Frost Titanutility$3.66A blue control finisher that can lock down opposing creatures through repeated tapping, similar to Guardian of Tazeem's landfall-based tempo control. It also provides a large evasive body for closing games.Aetherlingfinisher$0.25A classic blue finisher that is hard to answer and wins through evasive pressure, fitting the same late-game blue threat slot. While it doesn't tap creatures, it serves a similar role as a resilient control payoff.Sunken Hopeutility$0.38A blue board-tempo card that repeatedly disrupts opposing creatures by bouncing them, which plays a similar control-game role to tapping and delaying attackers. It can buy time for land-based or control decks to take over.SleepremovalBudget$0.13A direct blue tempo spell that taps down an opponent's creatures and keeps them locked for a turn cycle, closely matching the locking aspect of Guardian of Tazeem. It is a one-shot effect rather than a creature, but it performs the same combat-control job.Cryptic Commandremoval$5.93A powerful blue interactive spell that can tap opposing creatures while also providing additional control modes. It fills a similar high-end blue tempo/control role, though in instant form rather than as a creature.Aetherizeprotection$0.34A blue defensive spell that protects you from attackers by resetting combat, similar to how Guardian of Tazeem slows down opposing creatures. It is not repeatable, but it is a strong tempo play for blue control decks.Halimar TidecallerutilityBudget$0.14A blue landfall creature that rewards lands entering and supports a land-based value plan, making it thematically and functionally close. It is less of a control lock piece, but it belongs in the same blue landfall shell.Sejiri MerfolkutilityBudget$0.13A blue landfall creature that can become a relevant attacker or blocker as lands enter, fitting the same landfall-centric blue creature slot. It is cheaper and more aggressive, but still cares about land drops as a core engine.
