Mizzix of the IzmagnusutilityBudget$0.40Rewards casting noncreature spells with escalating value, making it a strong spell-slinger engine in the same colors. It doesn't make tokens, but it plays in the same high-velocity noncreature-spell role.Young PyromancerutilityBudget$0.47Turns every instant and sorcery into board presence, similar to Saruman’s spell-triggered token scaling. It is cheaper and narrower, but a classic functional analogue for spell-based token generation.Third Path IconoclastutilityBudget$0.95Another low-cost spell-slinger payoff that converts noncreature spells into creature tokens. It generates fewer counters than Saruman, but fills a similar go-wide role in Izzet shells.Sedgemoor WitchutilityBudget$1.30Creates tokens whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery, giving a spell-triggered board engine in Grixis-compatible colors. It is more focused on instants and sorceries, but overlaps strongly with Saruman’s casting payoff plan.Talrand, Sky SummonerutilityBudget$0.32A premier spells-matter commander that produces a flying threat on every noncreature spell. It trades Saruman’s scalable army growth for evasive token production, but serves the same core function of turning spells into board presence.Storm-Kiln Artistramp$3.90Rewards casting instants and sorceries by building Treasure, fueling more noncreature spells in the same deck archetype. It is mana acceleration rather than board growth, but it occupies a very similar spell-slinging support role.Stormcarved Coastutility$3.86Not a payoff itself, but a strong mana-base support card for U/R spell-heavy decks that often pair with black splash strategies. Included as a practical, budget-friendly support piece for the same kind of deck.Kess, Dissident Magecard_advantage$5.17A Grixis spellcaster that leverages noncreature spells repeatedly from the graveyard, enabling the same kind of cast-trigger value loops. It doesn't make tokens directly, but it is one of the closest functional commanders for spell-focused Grixis decks.
