Baleful Strixcard_drawBudget$2.90Another cheap flash creature that replaces itself on entry and provides strong defensive utility. It trades the snow requirement for always-on deathtouch and an artifact body.Brineborn CutthroatutilityBudget$0.15A flash threat in the same color space that rewards playing on opponents' turns. It fills a similar tempo role as an instant-speed creature, though without the cantrip or deathtouch.Spectral SailorutilityBudget$0.13Cheap flash flyer that can come down at instant speed and help control the board early. It is a lower-impact budget alternative, but still serves as a tempo creature with evasion.Shoreline Scoutcard_drawA two-mana blue creature with evasion and a small draw/filtering upside in Merfolk shells. It is a budget tempo option that helps smooth draws similarly to Ice-Fang Coatl.QuicklingutilityBudget$0.31Flash creature that can be deployed on the opponent's turn and creates value by protecting or reusing a creature. It is similar in play pattern as a cheap interactive flash body.Subtletyremoval$9.92Instant-speed creature with flash-style deployment that can disrupt an opponent while also leaving a body behind. It is less similar on text, but fills a comparable interactive tempo role.Vendilion CliqueutilityBudget$3.17Flash flyer that operates as a disruptive tempo creature and information tool. It is a classic upgrade for blue-based control and tempo decks, though it is not a cantrip.Coiling Oraclecard_drawBudget$0.24A low-cost creature that replaces itself and supports value-based multicolor decks. It lacks flash and flying, but it is a close budget analogue for cheap card-positive board presence.
