Frogifyremoval$0.18Turns off a creature’s combat and activated abilities by replacing it with a harmless Frog, functioning as blue creature removal. It is a cheaper, cleaner answer than a repeatable tap-down aura.Imprisoned in the Moonremoval$2.55Similar blue enchantment-based creature answer that also handles lands and commanders by turning them into a land with no abilities. It is slower than Stasis Cell but much broader.Darksteel Mutationremoval$1.76Shuts down a creature almost completely while leaving it on the battlefield, much like Stasis Cell’s permanent lockdown. It is a strong Commander staple and more efficient.Song of the Dryadsremoval$4.86Functionally removes a creature by turning it into a Forest, similar to how Stasis Cell disables a threat. It is not blue, but it is one of the closest permanent-based lockdown effects.Reality Acidremoval$0.21Another Aura that can eventually remove a permanent when it leaves the battlefield, giving blue a control-style enchantment answer. It is slower and more conditional than Stasis Cell.Witness Protectionremoval$0.11Cheap aura-based pseudo-removal that blanks a creature’s abilities and combat relevance. It fills a similar role of neutralizing a threat, though only temporarily in many cases.Kenrith's Transformationremoval$1.01Turns a creature into a low-impact creature and replaces itself, making it a strong functional equivalent to creature lockdown. It is green rather than blue, but plays a very similar role.Kasmina's Transmutationremoval$0.09Blue aura removal that strips abilities and reduces a creature to a 1/1, closely matching the 'neutralize one creature' plan. It is cheaper and more efficient than Stasis Cell.
