Cast Downremoval$0.67Efficient black instant removal that answers most nonlegendary creatures at a very similar mana rate. It is broader in some boards but misses legendary creatures.Go for the Throatremoval$0.49Another two-mana black instant that cleanly removes a large range of creatures at instant speed. It is less restrictive than Smother, though it fails on artifact creatures.Infernal Graspremoval$7.00Premium two-mana black removal with unconditional creature kill, trading a small life loss for flexibility. It is a strict upgrade in most formats when you can afford the life.Heartless Actremoval$0.19Very close in purpose as cheap black instant creature removal with a conditional restriction. It can answer bigger threats if they do not have counters, but is weaker against modified creatures.Power Word KillremovalBudget$0.12Cheap black instant removal that mirrors Smother’s role as efficient spot removal with a restriction. It is narrower because it cannot kill Angels, Demons, Devils, Dragons, or things with flying depending on the exact creature type.Tragic Slipremoval$0.25One-mana black removal spell that can be a highly efficient answer, especially in sacrifice-heavy decks. It is cheaper than Smother but less consistent without a creature dying first.Dismemberremoval$6.72Flexible spot removal that can often be cast for one mana or life, killing many early threats at instant speed. It is a colorless alternative with a different payment structure and broader use.Ob Nixilis's CrueltyremovalBudget$0.09Efficient black removal that handles many mid-sized creatures while also bypassing some indestructible setups via exile. It costs a bit more but is stronger in graveyard-focused metas.
