Phyrexian Crusaderfinisher$5.41A premier black infect threat with built-in resilience through protection, making it a similar poison-focused finisher in mono-black. It plays the same aggressive infect role at a lower mana cost.Plague StingerfinisherBudget$0.37An evasive infect creature that pressures poison totals early, similar to Skithiryx’s flying poison-pressure plan. It is much cheaper and can come down quickly to start clocking opponents.Hand of the PraetorsfinisherBudget$3.15A black infect payoff that turns every subsequent infect creature into a stronger threat and advances poison kills quickly. It serves a similar role as a black infect finisher but with tribal support.Grafted Exoskeletonutility$5.65This is one of the closest functional stand-ins for Skithiryx because it grants infect to any creature, turning any evasive or large body into a poison finisher. It is slower to set up but broadly more flexible.Blightsteel Colossusfinisher$33.94A top-end infect finisher that kills in one or two hits and also has enormous resilience. It fills the same game-ending infect threat slot, but at a much higher mana cost.Ichor RatsutilityBudget$1.46A black infect creature that immediately gives each player a poison counter, advancing the same poison-game plan as Skithiryx. It is less threatening in combat but useful for starting the clock.Phyresisutility$4.86This aura grants infect to a creature, letting any flying or hasty attacker mimic Skithiryx’s poison-kill pressure. It is a budget-friendly way to convert existing threats into infect finishers.Triumph of the Hordesfinisher$19.02A classic poison finisher that ends games by granting infect and trample to a whole board. It is not a single creature like Skithiryx, but it serves the same endgame role.
