Mox is analysing…
Massacre Wurmremoval$4.35Provides a large-scale -X/-X style sweeper that punishes opposing creature boards, much like Orcus’s offensive mode. It is also a high-impact black finisher in the same general mana range.Toxic Delugeremoval$7.62One of the closest functional analogs to Orcus’s life-payment sweep mode, trading life for a scalable -X/-X effect. It is cheaper and often more flexible as a reset button.Living Deathrecursion$2.70Echoes Orcus’s graveyard-reanimation mode by turning the graveyard into a battlefield swing. It is broader and can be more explosive, though less targeted.Victimizerecursion$0.45Converts one creature into two reanimated creatures, serving the same graveyard-value plan as Orcus. It is less flexible on target count but very efficient for the mana.Command the Dreadhorderecursion$0.39A big life-for-reanimation payoff that can swing the game by returning multiple creatures and planeswalkers. It overlaps with Orcus as a high-ceiling black recursion finisher.Dread Returnrecursion$0.46A graveyard-to-battlefield reanimation spell that can produce a sudden board swing, especially in sacrifice-heavy decks. While not X-based, it fills the same explosive recursion role.Rakdos, the Showstopperremoval$2.28Like Orcus, it is a Rakdos-flavored flying Demon that can function as a board reset on entry. It is less flexible, but serves a similar creature-sweeper role.Rise of the Dark Realmsrecursion$16.18A premium late-game reanimation payoff that floods the battlefield from graveyards, matching Orcus’s reanimation half at a much larger scale. It is the classic upgrade for pure inevitability.
