Boros ReckonerutilityBudget$0.24Redirects damage in a similar way and punishes combat or burn damage aimed at it. It plays a comparable defensive-to-offensive role, though in a more colors-flexible shell.Brash TaunterutilityBudget$1.98Has the same damage-reflection gameplay, turning damage prevention into damage dealt to another target. It is a larger, more resilient version of that punisher effect.Mogg ManiacutilityBudget$0.44A classic damage-redirection creature that converts damage dealt to it into damage to an opponent or target. It fills the same retaliatory role at a much lower cost.Stuffy Dollutility$17.82Absorbs damage and reflects it back, creating a similar deterrent and win-condition creature. It is slower, but the overall gameplay pattern overlaps strongly.Truefire CaptainutilityBudget$0.20Like Phyrexian Vindicator, it punishes damage directed at it by dealing that much damage elsewhere. It also has a sturdy combat body for blocking and retaliation.Boros Charmprotection$5.00Not a creature, but it provides the same damage-prevention mode in white while protecting a permanent from damage-based removal. It is a strong functional supplement for the same defensive plan.Deflecting Palmutility$4.29Converts incoming damage into damage back to the source, mirroring the Vindicator's punishment style. It is a one-shot reactive version of that same idea.Selfless SquireprotectionBudget$0.60Prevents combat damage to you and stores that damage as power, functioning as a combat swing card in a similar defensive-to-offensive space. It is less universal than Vindicator but plays a related role.
