Griefdiscard$4.65Provides immediate hand disruption on enter and can generate strong tempo similar to the discard half of Hostile Investigator. It is a more aggressive, higher-powered option in black.Burglar RatdiscardBudget$0.24A simple body attached to enter-the-battlefield discard, closely matching the ETB disruption role. It is a cheaper, budget-friendly analogue.Virus BeetlediscardBudget$0.24Like Burglar Rat, it strips a card from an opponent on entry and leaves behind a small creature. It fills the same early discard role at a lower cost.Liliana's Specterdiscard$3.03ETB discard on a creature with evasive stats, giving a similar disruption-plus-body package. It is a straightforward, low-cost equivalent.Rankle, Master of Pranksdiscard$3.08Creates repeated discard pressure while also offering other disruptive modes, overlapping with the attrition plan of Hostile Investigator. It is a stronger, more flexible upgrade.Waste Notutility$7.21Not a creature, but it strongly rewards opponents discarding cards and converts that into mana, cards, or bodies. It plays the same discard-payoff role as the Investigate trigger, and often exceeds it in raw value.Geth's Grimoirecard_draw$9.86Turns every discard into card draw, providing a similar card-advantage payoff to repeated discard triggers. It is slower but can snowball hard in discard-heavy decks.Spiteful Banditryutility$12.19Creates Treasure whenever creatures die, offering a different resource engine in the same black attrition/value space. It is a broader engine rather than a direct discard analogue.
