Lost Legacydiscard_exileBudget$0.13Very similar effect: it names a nonartifact, nonland card and exiles all copies from hand, graveyard, and library. It trades the black-red cost for a more restrictive black-blue identity and can also hit planeswalkers.Memoricidediscard_exile$0.17Closest monocolored analogue: it names a card and exiles all copies from the opponent’s hand, graveyard, and library. It lacks the uncounterable clause and is a bit slower, but fills the same surgical hate role.Cranial Extractiondiscard_exile$0.55Classic black version of the same effect, stripping every copy of a named card from hand, graveyard, and library. It is sorcery-speed targeted combo disruption with nearly identical function.Praetor's Graspdisruption$10.13Not identical, but it serves a similar disruptive tutor-hate role by exiling a card from an opponent’s library and letting you cast it. It’s broader in utility but still attacks key combo pieces from the library.Nevermoredisruption$0.82A proactive naming hate card that prevents a chosen card from being cast at all. It doesn’t exile existing copies, but it fulfills the same anti-combo, anti-bomb function.Voidstone Gargoyledisruption$0.34This repeatedly locks out a chosen nonland card from being cast, functioning like a permanent naming effect. It is slower and less absolute than Slaughter Games, but fills a similar role against key threats.Sorcerous Spyglassutility$0.30A colorless, cheaper way to name a card and shut off activated abilities, often used for planeswalkers and combo pieces. It’s narrower than Slaughter Games, but serves a similar preemptive hate role.Pithing Needleutility$1.50Like Spyglass, it names a card and suppresses activated abilities, giving a low-cost answer to specific combo engines or utility permanents. It’s much narrower, but a strong budget-style functional cousin.
