Mox is analysing…
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobitefinisher$19.08A powerful mono-white legendary finisher that locks down opposing boards by shrinking enemy creatures while boosting your own. Like Iona, it can take over a game on its own once resolved.Avacyn, Angel of Hopeprotection$34.24Another mono-white Angel that creates a near-lock by making your permanents indestructible. It serves a similar role as a game-ending, hard-to-answer threat that stabilizes the board.Linvala, Keeper of Silenceutility$17.56A white legendary creature that shuts off a large class of opposing creatures by preventing activated abilities. It is a narrower but highly disruptive hate piece, similar in spirit to Iona's color-based lockdown.Drannith Magistrateutility$15.81A cheap white hate creature that restricts opponents from casting spells from zones other than their hand. While not as broad as Iona, it similarly constrains what opponents are allowed to cast.Rule of LawutilityBudget$0.44A classic white lock piece that limits each player to one spell per turn. It doesn't name a color, but it serves a similar anti-combo, spell-suppression function.Archon of EmeriautilityBudget$2.67A disruptive white creature that slows spellcasting and mana development, often acting as a soft lock against decks trying to chain multiple spells. It overlaps with Iona in its role as a stax-style hate creature.Decree of Silenceutility$30.97A white enchantment that can completely shut down opponents' spells by countering them repeatedly until it is removed. It is one of the closest functional equivalents to Iona's spell-denial plan.Sphere of SafetyprotectionBudget$3.02A white defensive lock piece that can make attacking you extremely difficult, buying the same kind of one-sided time advantage that Iona creates. It is not a spell lock, but it functions as a mono-white inevitability engine.
