Desert of the Ferventutility$0.22A colorless Desert land with a small enters-the-battlefield effect, though it cycles instead of pinging. It fits the same Desert utility-land slot in redless decks.Desert of the MindfulutilityBudget$0.14Another cycling Desert land that preserves the Desert subtype and colorless land function. It is a common functional alternative when you want Desert synergies.Desert of the GlorifiedutilityBudget$0.10Provides the same colorless Desert land role with graveyard-cycling utility instead of damage. It’s a comparable land slot for Desert decks.Desert of the Indomitableutility$0.16A colorless Desert land that supports Desert synergies while offering cycling rather than a damage trigger. Similar in being a nonbasic utility land with low opportunity cost.Ramunap Ruinsutility$0.41A Desert land that also pings opponents/planeswalkers while tapping for colorless, making it the closest functional upgrade in damage utility. It costs no mana to use and can convert excess lands into reach.Kessig Flamebreatherutility$3.18Like Sunscorched Desert, it chips away at life totals with small repeatable damage in a low-cost slot. It serves a similar attrition role, though as a creature instead of a land.Thermo-Alchemistutility$0.24Another cheap repeatable source of small damage that can fit into the same burn/attrition game plan. It is not a land, but it performs a similar incremental ping role.Ghitu LavarunnerutilityBudget$0.08A low-cost red aggressive card that contributes to early damage pressure in a similar slot to a damage land. It’s not a direct replacement, but it supports the same burn plan.
