Lightning Strikeremoval$0.11Efficient red removal at the same mana cost, though it can hit any target for less damage instead of only creatures. It’s a common flexible alternative in red decks.Abraderemoval$0.32A 2-mana red removal spell that cleanly answers many creatures, with the added option to destroy an artifact. It’s slightly less damage-based but serves a very similar role.Searing Bloodremoval$0.18Another cheap red creature removal spell that punishes small and medium attackers. It’s more conditional than Roast, but fills the same early removal slot.Skewer the Criticsremoval$0.21A very efficient red damage spell that can act as removal in aggressive decks. It’s cheaper to cast under spectacle, though it has less raw damage than Roast.Lava Coilremoval$0.07A strong two-mana red removal spell that exiles the target, which is often better than simply dealing damage. It hits creatures with four toughness rather than Roast’s higher-damage, no-flyer restriction.Volcanic Hammerremoval$0.12Classic straight damage-based removal for red decks. It deals less damage than Roast, but it occupies the same simple early interaction role.Flame Slashremoval$0.28A very efficient sorcery-speed red creature removal spell that deals 4 damage for one mana. It’s narrower, but often an upgrade against ground creatures with low to moderate toughness.Balduvian Rageremoval$0.40Not direct removal in the same way, but a cheap red combat-based answer that can remove blockers in combat. It’s a budget-style alternative when you want low-cost interaction.
