Flingremoval$0.34Very similar sacrifice-to-damage effect that converts a creature’s power into direct damage to any target. It is cheaper and instant speed, but requires sacrificing as part of the spell.Thudremoval$0.49Same basic gameplay of sacrificing a creature to deal damage equal to its power to any target. It is a direct, efficient spell version of the Manticore’s trigger.Soul's Fireremoval$0.17Uses a creature’s power as damage output to any target without sacrificing it, making it a closely related burn effect. It plays a similar role in creature-based damage decks.Essence Harvestremoval$0.33Similar in that it translates a creature’s power into a life-total swing, though it drains life rather than dealing direct damage. It fits the same power-matters shell.Bloodshot Cyclopsutility$0.47A repeatable creature-to-damage outlet that sacrifices creatures to deal damage equal to their power. It is slower and more expensive, but fulfills the same functional role.Spawning Pitutility$4.50Provides a sacrifice outlet and board utility for decks that want to cash in creatures, though it does not directly deal damage. It can support the same sacrifice-heavy game plan.Highland GameutilityBudget$0.03Not a direct equivalent, but it is an inexpensive creature often used as a sacrificial body in sacrifice decks. It can help support the same curve and sacrifice synergies.Burning-Tree Emissaryutility$0.29A low-cost creature that can help set up sacrifice or power-based damage turns by generating immediate tempo. It is not a direct substitute, but it supports similar aggressive shells.
