Thorn of AmethysttaxBudget$1.16Very close tax effect for noncreature spells, often filling the same disruptive role in artifact/stax shells. It is slightly narrower but usually comparable in play pattern.GlowridertaxBudget$1.34A creature version of Sphere of Resistance that taxes all noncreature spells by {1}. It plays similarly in white-based prison or hatebears strategies.Damping SpheretaxBudget$1.08A colorless artifact that taxes spell-heavy strategies, especially storm and big mana decks. It is not a perfect mirror, but it serves a similar disruptive function.Trinispheretax$20.15Another artifact tax piece that increases the cost of cheap spells and slows explosive starts. It is more extreme than Sphere of Resistance but occupies the same prison role.Thalia, Guardian of ThrabentaxBudget$0.39A classic tax effect that makes noncreature spells cost {1} more, functioning like Sphere of Resistance in creature-based disruptive decks. It adds pressure while taxing development.Vryn WingmaretaxBudget$0.24Flying creature tax piece that increases the cost of noncreature spells by {1}. It is a direct functional analogue in white stax and hatebear decks.Lodestone GolemtaxBudget$0.29Artifact-based tax effect that makes nonartifact spells cost {1} more, often used in colorless prison shells.
