Hold for RansomremovalBudget$0.04A cheap black Aura that neutralizes a creature by preventing it from attacking or blocking, similar to Paralyze’s early-game tempo role. It also taxes the opponent if they want to break out of it.Dead WeightremovalBudget$0.04Another one-mana black Aura that answers a creature efficiently, though by shrinking and killing small threats rather than tapping them down. It fills the same cheap black interaction slot.Necromancer's MagemarkutilityBudget$0.12A black enchantment-based effect that can function as creature control in aura-heavy shells, though it is less direct than Paralyze. It belongs to the same aura interaction space.Mire in MiseryremovalBudget$0.68Not an Aura, but it serves a similar black control function by forcing sacrifice and dealing with a creature or enchantment efficiently. It’s a common budget alternative for black interaction.Tainted Aetherutility$7.39A black enchantment that continuously suppresses creature development by making opponents sacrifice when creatures enter. It plays a broader board-control role similar to Paralyze’s attrition plan.Darksteel Mutationremoval$1.76A classic creature-neutralizing Aura that effectively turns a threat off, much like Paralyze does. It is generally more permanent and harder to answer.Imprisoned in the Moonremoval$2.55An Aura that blanks a creature and keeps it from functioning, mirroring Paralyze’s one-creature lockdown role. It is stronger in many cases because it removes abilities and can hit other permanents.PacifismremovalBudget$0.10A cheap enchantment-based creature lock that prevents combat, serving the same basic role of stopping one creature from being useful. It is a straightforward budget analogue, though it doesn’t stop activated abilities.
