Storm CauldrontaxBudget$2.96Punishes land development in a similar tempo-disruption way, forcing players to pick up lands when they play them. It is much broader and more punishing because it affects all players and all land drops.Mana BreachtaxBudget$0.99Very close in function, turning every spell into a land-bounce tax. It can be even more oppressive in spell-heavy decks, though it doesn’t specifically trigger off creatures.Confounding ConundrumtaxBudget$0.48Another blue enchantment that slows ramp by making extra land drops bounce a land. It targets land-based acceleration rather than creatures, but serves a similar tempo-denial role.Anvil of Bogardantax$37.82Creates a recurring hand-size and resource pressure that can function like a soft lock on development. It is less directly similar, but it is a cheap blue artifact that disrupts progress in multiplayer games.Tideshaper MysticutilityBudget$0.21A small blue creature that can repeatedly interfere with opposing mana by changing lands, offering a low-cost disruptive role. It is much weaker, but fits a budget tempo-control shell.Aether FlashremovalBudget$0.61A red enchantment that punishes creatures entering the battlefield, functioning as a creature-based deterrent. It doesn’t bounce lands, but it similarly discourages creature development.Root MazetaxBudget$4.83A classic tempo enchantment that slows down lands and artifacts by making them enter tapped. It plays a similar resource-denial role, just through mana denial instead of land bounce.Cursed Totemtax$7.51Stops activated abilities of creatures, serving as a cheap stax piece that constrains board development. It is not land bounce, but it fits the same low-cost disruption plan.
