Aetherizeutility$0.34Both punish opposing boards without permanently removing creatures, buying time against combat-focused decks. Aetherize is a stronger one-shot tempo reset, especially against token swarms.Aetherspoutsutility$0.62Like Lavinia, it neutralizes attackers and can effectively stall an enemy board for a turn cycle. It is less general than detain but can be devastating in combat.Deputy of Detentionremoval$0.24Shares the Azorius tempo/removal role by exiling multiple opposing nonland permanents temporarily from the board. It is narrower in targeting but often more permanent once it sticks.Reflector Mageremoval$6.65Both are proactive tempo creatures that delay opponents' board development rather than destroy it outright. Reflector Mage is more aggressive but only hits a single creature.Detention Sphereremoval$0.32Same Azorius detain-style control function, permanently answering multiple copies of a problem permanent. It is stronger long-term removal but not attached to a creature body.Baneslayer Angelfinisher$6.11Similar mana cost and white midrange/control finisher slot with a strong protection ability. It doesn't provide board control, but it fills the same stabilizing threat role.Venser, Shaper Savantutility$0.72Both are blue-white-flavored tempo tools that interfere with an opponent's development at instant-speed or on entry. Venser is more flexible but narrower to one spell or permanent.Scholar of the Lost Troveutility$0.29A high-impact ETB creature that generates immediate value and supports slower control decks. It is not a board stopper, but it serves a similar five-mana haymaker role.
