Icy Manipulatorutility$111.66Very close functional match: a repeatable artifact that can tap or untap creatures, with broader permanent control on the tap side. It fills the same utility role in colorless artifact-based control decks.Relic BarrierutilityBudget$0.18Classic repeatable artifact tap effect for controlling combat or disabling opposing creatures. It is cheaper to cast, though it only taps and does not untap.Vedalken MastermindutilityBudget$0.34Provides repeated untap utility for artifacts and creatures through a similar control-oriented game plan. It is blue instead of colorless and more specialized, but it serves a comparable board-manipulation role.Manifold Keyutility$1.46A reusable tap/untap utility artifact that can repeatedly untap key permanents, including creatures in some lines. It is narrower than Puppet Strings but plays a similar support role in combo and control decks.Magewright's Stoneutility$9.08Another colorless artifact focused on repeated untapping, often enabling extra activations from important creatures. It lacks the tap mode, but it occupies a very similar utility slot.Staff of Dominationutility$10.26A powerful repeatable artifact with untap functionality that can also tap or untap creatures and generate card advantage. It is a strict upgrade in many shell types, though much more mana-intensive to fully exploit.Pemmin's Aurautility$11.51Not an artifact, but it offers flexible untap utility on a creature, letting you repeatedly reuse activated abilities. It is a strong functional analogue in decks that can support blue auras.Thousand-Year Elixirutility$14.81Gives creatures pseudo-haste and an untap effect, enabling repeated activations in a way that overlaps with Puppet Strings' support role. It is better for combo and creature-ability decks, though it cannot tap opposing creatures.
