Disfigureremoval$0.06Cheap black interaction that shrinks or kills small creatures at instant speed. It fills the same early-game anti-creature role, though it is single-target instead of a sweeper.Virulent Woundremoval$0.23A one-mana black removal spell that gives a creature -1/-1 and leaves behind a poison counter. It is narrower than Shrivel but serves the same low-cost anti-toughness function.Tragic Slipremoval$0.25Very efficient black removal that can give -1/-1 early and become a hard kill later. It overlaps with Shrivel as a cheap way to punish small creatures.Infestremoval$0.08The closest functional analogue: all creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. It costs the same mana and is a stronger sweeper against small boards.Languishremoval$0.34A black sweeper that gives all creatures -4/-4, covering the same board-control role at a higher power level. It is slower but much more decisive against creature decks.Flaying TendrilsremovalBudget$0.03A black sweeper that gives all creatures -2/-2 and exiles those that die. It costs more, but it is a stronger upgrade against recursive creatures and token decks.Black Sun's Zenithremoval$0.35Flexible black sweeper that puts -1/-1 counters on all creatures instead of temporary shrinkage. It is more scalable and permanent, though much more expensive.Bontu's Last Reckoningremoval$0.60A black board wipe that clears creatures efficiently, trading tempo for a powerful reset. It is not a shrink effect, but it serves the same mass creature-control role.
