Authority of the Consulsutility$5.37It slows opposing creatures by making them enter tapped, which overlaps strongly with Orb of Dreams’ tempo-stax function. It also adds incidental life gain, making it a common upgrade in white decks.KismetutilityBudget$0.55A classic tax effect that makes opponents’ permanents enter tapped, closely matching Orb of Dreams’ board-wide tempo disruption. It costs more but has a broader, more oppressive impact in creature-heavy and permanent-based decks.Frozen Aetherutility$1.45This is one of the closest functional equivalents, forcing opponents’ artifacts, creatures, and lands to enter tapped. It is more expensive but nearly the same stax role with a wider lock on opposing development.Blind Obedienceutility$5.34Although it only affects opponents’ artifacts and creatures, it serves the same disruptive tempo role by making key permanents enter tapped. Extort also gives it extra utility in slow games.Root Mazeutility$4.83A cheap stax piece that causes artifacts and lands to enter tapped, echoing Orb of Dreams’ desire to delay mana development. It is more asymmetrical and better for punishing fast mana starts.Thorn of AmethystutilityBudget$1.16Not a tapped-enabler, but it fills a similar disruptive prison role by taxing noncreature spells and slowing opponents’ early turns. It is a common colorless stax alternative in the same deck archetype.Torpor Orbutility$10.18Another artifact stax piece that suppresses enter-the-battlefield value, which is often played alongside Orb of Dreams in prison strategies. It doesn’t tap permanents, but it similarly constrains how opposing permanents function on entry.Imposing SovereignutilityBudget$0.42This creature makes opposing creatures enter tapped, providing a very close white-pillowfort version of Orb of Dreams’ effect. It is cheaper and especially good against creature decks.
