Vampire Nighthawkutility$0.20A black evasive creature that stabilizes combat and is similarly hard to profitably remove in combat due to its combat-relevant stats and lifelink/deathtouch. It fills the same slot as a resilient black flyer.Night Market AeronaututilityBudget$0.02A cheap black flyer that applies pressure in the air and serves as an evasive creature in black decks. While less resilient, it fills a similar curve slot and role.Blood Artistutility$1.84A small black creature that is cheap, annoying to remove, and serves as a value body rather than a combat finisher. It fits the same low-cost black creature slot in grindy decks.Gifted Aetherbornutility$0.35A resilient black two-drop that often trades up thanks to deathtouch and lifelink. Like Mischievous Poltergeist, it is a solid defensive black creature that can stick around.Phyrexian Obliteratorutility$10.38A much larger black creature that is famously difficult to attack into or remove profitably. It is not a budget substitute, but it shares the 'sticky black threat' function.Yahenni, Undying Partisanutility$1.51A resilient black creature that can protect itself by growing through sacrifice, giving it a similar hard-to-kill feel. It serves as a persistent black board presence.Reassembling Skeletonutility$0.32A recursive black creature that is difficult to permanently remove, making it a persistent board presence. It substitutes well for decks wanting a durable black body.Black Catutility$0.13A small black creature that provides nuisance value and can be annoying to remove cleanly, fitting the same general attrition role. It is a low-cost alternative for black creature decks.
