Mox is analysing…
Burglar Ratdiscard$0.24Very close functional equivalent: a 1/1 creature that makes each opponent discard a card on entry. It is one of the cleanest replacements for repeatable or one-shot hand disruption on a body.Virus Beetlediscard$0.24Same basic effect on a creature body, forcing each opponent to discard a card when it enters. It is a direct budget-style substitute in black sacrifice and discard shells.Elderfang Disciplediscard$0.26A similar cheap black ETB discard creature, though it only hits one opponent and is generally stronger in multiplayer-focused discard plans. It fills the same early disruption role.Liliana's Specterdiscard$3.03Comparable small evasive creature that makes each opponent discard a card on entry. It trades creature type and stats for flying and a very similar effect.Mesmeric Fienddiscard$1.75A classic black discard creature that temporarily exiles a card from an opponent's hand when it enters. It plays a similar disruptive role, especially in sacrifice and blink strategies.Nantuko Huskutility$0.25This is not a discard effect, but in similar black creature-based disruption shells it can serve as a sacrifice outlet for repeatable ETB discard creatures. It is useful alongside cards like Nezumi Informant in aristocrats-style decks.Persistent Specimenutility$0.23Not discard itself, but a cheap recursive creature that pairs well with ETB discard bodies for repeated hand disruption. It supports the same low-curve black attrition game plan.Duressdiscard$0.19A staple one-mana hand disruption spell that often serves the same early-game purpose as a discard creature, stripping a key noncreature card before it resolves. It is more selective but much more efficient.
