Spirit of the LabyrinthstaxBudget$0.56Both cards strongly modify draw behavior and punish players for drawing in ways that favor one side of the table less than normal. Spirit of the Labyrinth is a much stricter draw restriction, but it fills a similar anti-card-advantage role.Narset, Parter of VeilsstaxBudget$1.27Narset similarly changes how drawing works by limiting opponents' access to extra cards, making it a close functional cousin for draw control and value denial. It is one of the most efficient planeswalker-based draw suppressors.Notion Thiefcard_advantage_hate$7.46Like Sea of Sand, this card creates a major asymmetry around card draw and heavily punishes normal draw patterns. It turns opponents' draws into a resource swing in your favor.Underworld Dreamsburn$38.36This enchantment punishes players for drawing cards, similar to how Sea of Sand taxes draws with life loss for nonland cards. It is a classic draw-punisher in black.Spiteful VisionsburnBudget$1.30Spiteful Visions affects every draw and creates life-loss pressure while also providing symmetrical draw, much like Sea of Sand's draw-triggered life swings. It is one of the closest color-identity-adjacent analogs.Kederekt Parasiteburn$4.91This card also punishes card draw with life loss, echoing Sea of Sand's nonland-draw punishment. It is narrower and more combo-dependent, but the core role is very similar.Painful Quandarystax$2.05While not about draw specifically, it occupies a similar punisher space by making opponents pay life or resources for normal game actions. It is a stronger late-game punishment effect in black.Megrimburn$2.20Megrim serves a comparable punisher role by converting a normal game action into life loss, much like Sea of Sand does with certain draws. It is narrower, but fits the same aggressive punishment strategy.
