Brave the SandsutilityBudget$6.16Provides the same core blocking utility by letting your creatures block as though they were untapped, while also giving vigilance to improve defense. It is a strong broader enchantment version of Masako’s combat trick.Dolmen Gateprotection$25.82A classic defensive role-player that protects attacking creatures from combat damage, complementing the same white combat-control plan. It doesn’t mimic Masako exactly, but it serves a similar board-stall and combat manipulation function.Hold the GatesutilityBudget$0.15Rewards a defensive board with a pseudo-vigilance/blocking theme by making creatures with defender stronger in combat. It fits similar white stall tactics, though it is narrower and more build-around than Masako.Queen MarchesautilityBudget$1.09Not the same effect, but it provides flash-like political value and creates a defensive board plan that can stabilize combat. It’s a comparable white-based utility creature for controlling the battlefield.Kazuul, Tyrant of the CliffsutilityBudget$0.21Another combat-centric defensive permanent that discourages attacks and helps you survive to later turns. It fulfills a similar role of manipulating combat in your favor, though from the opposite angle.Lightmine FieldutilityBudget$6.06A strong anti-attack board control piece that punishes combat and buys time for defensive decks. It serves the same stall-oriented role as Masako in a more global way.Fog BankprotectionBudget$0.60A cheap defensive blocker that neutralizes combat damage and is useful in stall strategies. It doesn’t copy Masako’s text, but it fills a similar role as an efficient combat deterrent.Auriok SteelshaperutilityBudget$0.81A low-cost white utility creature that supports combat-based strategies with a defensive posture. While not the same mechanic, it’s a comparable small white creature that can slot into a combat-control shell.
