Act of Treasonutility$0.18Classic temporary creature theft that grants haste and forces an attack or sacrifice-style tempo play. It fills the same role at a much lower mana cost, though without the extra untap text.Claim the Firstbornutility$0.31A cheaper theft effect for small creatures that often acts as a combat trick or sacrifice setup. It’s narrower than Slave of Bolas but serves the same temporary control role.Threatenutility$0.27A straightforward temporary creature-steal spell with haste, used for removal-by-attack or sacrifice outlets. It’s the cleanest budget analogue to Slave of Bolas.Portent of BetrayalutilityBudget$0.03Very close functional match: temporary control, untap, haste, and end-step sacrifice timing. It is one of the most direct analogues to Slave of Bolas.Act of Aggressionutility$0.35Instant-speed temporary theft that can be cast for life and can swing combat or enable sacrifice lines. It’s more flexible than Slave of Bolas, though it costs life instead of mana at times.Mark of MutinyutilityBudget$0.17Steals a creature for the turn, adds a +1/+1 counter, and pairs well with sacrifice effects. It mirrors the same offensive, temporary-control gameplay.HijackutilityBudget$0.09Temporary control of an artifact or creature with haste, fitting the same aggressive tempo role. It is a broader but lower-cost alternative to Slave of Bolas.Reins of Powerutility$2.43A combat-oriented mass swap effect that can function as a surprise theft or alpha strike enabler. It is less direct, but it belongs to the same temporary control family.
