Karn's Bastionutility$3.81Both are utility lands that convert mana into board-wide counter growth. Karn's Bastion is colorless and works with any counter strategy, though it affects all permanents with proliferate rather than only new creatures.Vivid Creekutility$0.28A Simic-leaning utility land replacement in blue-green decks that helps fix mana. It does not add counters, but it serves the same slot of a nonbasic land with spell utility in the mana base.Oran-Rief, the Vastwoodutility$2.22A land that repeatedly places +1/+1 counters onto creatures, supporting counter-based creature growth. It is more limited in color use, but the play pattern of using a land to improve creatures is very similar.Vitu-Ghazi, the City-TreeutilityBudget$0.11Like Novijen, it is a multicolor utility land that spends mana to generate creature-board advantage. Instead of counters, it creates bodies, but it fills the same role of mana-sink value from a land.Opal Palaceutility$0.28This land enhances creatures as part of a mana-fixing utility slot and can put counters on a commander. It is not Simic-specific, but it is a close land-based counter enabler.The Earth Crystalutility$13.54A recent utility land that rewards creature-heavy board states with scaling value. While not a counter land, it similarly turns a land drop into late-game battlefield advantage.Mishra's Factoryutility$30.20A classic colorless utility land that can become a creature and contribute to board pressure. It does not use counters, but it occupies the same kind of nonbasic land slot in creature-centric decks.Gavony Townshiputility$6.25One of the closest functional cousins to Novijen, it uses mana to put +1/+1 counters on your team. It is especially strong in token or go-wide decks, though it only works at sorcery speed and costs different colors.
