Vampire Nighthawkutility$0.20A cheap black creature with deathtouch and lifegain on a body, filling a similar defensive stabilizing role. It trades the mill ETB for evasion and higher combat impact.Typhoid Ratsutility$0.22This is the most direct low-cost deathtouch blocker in black, serving as an early deterrent to attackers. It is cheaper but lacks the ETB value and lifegain.Gifted Aetherbornutility$0.35Another efficient black deathtouch creature that stabilizes the board through lifelink. It is a stronger combat body but costs double black and has no ETB mill.Shambling Ghastutility$0.44A cheap black utility creature that replaces itself with a resource when it dies and can affect the board early. It shares the low-cost sacrifice/value-creature role, though not the lifegain or mill.Mire Shadeutility$0.19A black two-drop that can dominate combat over time and serves as a comparable early-game black threat. It lacks ETB value, but fills a similar board-stalling role.Miasmic MummyutilityBudget$0.05A black graveyard-oriented creature that provides a small ETB discard effect and early board presence. It is a budget functional alternative for low-cost black utility creatures.Sedge ScorpionutilityBudget$0.05A very close deathtouch one-drop option for black-green style defensive play, though it is outside black alone. It is cheaper and purely defensive, with no ETB value.Undercity ScroungerutilityBudget$0.10A cheap black creature that supports graveyard filling and board presence, making it a reasonable budget stand-in for self-mill decks. It lacks deathtouch and lifegain, but overlaps in graveyard synergy.
