Demon of Dark Schemesutility$1.98Another black Demon creature with a disruptive enters-the-battlefield effect and a built-in upkeep drawback. It similarly plays as a midgame threat that can generate value while asking for sacrifice support.Rite of the Serpentremoval$0.21Provides black creature removal that can answer larger threats and works well in graveyard-focused decks. It fills the same functional slot of black interaction tied to creature-heavy play patterns.MurderremovalBudget$0.17Simple unconditional black creature removal at instant speed. It serves the same primary role of killing a problematic creature, albeit without the body attached.Hero's DownfallremovalBudget$0.14Efficient black removal that can hit creatures or planeswalkers. It overlaps with Shadowborn Demon as a black answer to a creature threat, though without the creature body.SkinrenderremovalBudget$0.17A black creature that removes a creature on entry by shrinking it heavily. It functions similarly as creature-based removal attached to a body, though it does not destroy outright.Shriekmawremoval$0.22Classic ETB creature removal attached to a creature, with a restriction that closely mirrors Shadowborn Demon's nonblack-targeting style. It is one of the closest functional analogs for a removal creature.Grave Titanfinisher$1.14A black finisher creature that generates immediate board presence and can stabilize the battlefield. While not removal, it occupies the same midrange-black threat slot with a strong ETB impact.Sheoldred, Whispering Oneutility$15.03A powerful black Demon-like top-end creature with a punishing upkeep effect and recurring sacrifice pressure. It shares the high-impact black threat profile and grindy sacrifice theme.
