Crafty Cutpurseutility$0.29A blue flying pirate that turns opposing permanents into Treasures, echoing the theft-and-denial gameplay of Kitesail Larcenist. It has a similar disruptive role, though it focuses on tokens and replacement effects rather than creature/artifact locking.Agent of Treacheryutility$2.99Provides a strong blue theft effect by permanently taking nonland permanents, which overlaps with the swingy board-control role. It is more expensive, but is a powerful upgrade for stealing key permanents.Gilded Drakeutility$173.32A classic blue creature-steal effect that swaps control of a creature, serving a similar tempo-oriented disruption role. It is much cheaper mana-wise and often stronger in terms of efficiency.ConfiscateutilityBudget$0.08Steals any permanent with a continuous control-changing effect, which is a broader version of the same kind of game-plan. It is slower but covers more card types.Vedalken Shacklesutility$6.11A blue control piece that repeatedly takes opposing creatures, fitting the same board-dominating utility slot. It is more mana-intensive and asks for heavy Islands, but can be a long-term threat tool.Brittle Effigyremoval$0.27Not a theft card, but it is a colorless removal/answer piece that removes problematic creatures, filling a similar problem-solving role in blue decks. It is a budget-friendly utility option when you want interaction over ownership change.Reality Shiftremoval$0.32A blue removal spell that exiles a creature and replaces it with a manifested permanent, creating a comparable disruptive tempo swing. It is cheaper and cleaner interaction, though it does not provide ongoing control.Witness ProtectionremovalBudget$0.11Like Kitesail Larcenist, it neutralizes a creature by stripping away its useful functionality and making it far less threatening. It is a cheaper, more direct single-target answer.
