Mox is analysing…
Languishremoval$0.34A black sweeper that weakens or kills most creature boards, serving the same mass-creature-control role. It is generally stronger against larger creatures but costs the same amount of mana.Drown in Sorrowremoval$0.13Very close in function as a black -2/-2 sweeper that clears small and medium creatures. It also adds scry, making it a modest upgrade in card selection.Black Sun's Zenithremoval$0.35Another scalable black board wipe that shrinks all creatures and can outright kill them with enough mana. It is more flexible but typically costs more to fully leverage.Crippling Fearremoval$0.46A tribal-oriented sweeper that often plays like a one-sided mass debuff in creature-heavy tribal decks. It fills the same black board-control niche with a more conditional downside.Mutilateremoval$1.24A black sweeper that can shrink and kill most creatures, especially in heavy-black decks. It is less fixed than Hideous Laughter but can be much stronger in the right mana base.InfestremovalBudget$0.08Very similar in being a 3-mana black effect that gives all creatures -2/-2 until end of turn. It is one of the closest functional matches and a classic budget alternative.End the Festivitiesremoval$0.75A cheaper black-red-ish style sweep in terms of effect size, but in mono-black it is not color-legal; as a functional board pinger it resembles small-creature cleanup. If staying within color identity, this is not applicable in Commander.Bontu's Last Reckoningremoval$0.60A black mass removal spell that clears the battlefield and functions as a reset button. It is broader and much harsher on your own development, but serves the same board-control role.
