Winter OrbstaxBudget$13.56A classic mana-denial artifact that limits untapped lands each turn, similar to Tangle Wire’s ability to constrain opponents’ resources. It is cheaper in mana and more persistent, though less scalable.Static OrbstaxBudget$5.28Another artifact that restricts untapping and slows the table in a comparable prison/stax role. It doesn’t use counters, making it more permanent than Tangle Wire.SmokestaxBudget$9.99Creates a soft-lock on creature untaps, overlapping with Tangle Wire’s tap-down tempo plan. It is much narrower but serves the same resource-denial game plan.CrawlspacestaxBudget$7.78Limits how many creatures can attack you, functioning as a slow-down tool in the same prison archetype. While it doesn’t tap permanents, it buys time similarly against aggressive boards.Orb of DreamsstaxBudget$2.59Makes all permanents enter tapped, reinforcing a tempo/stax strategy that delays opponent development. It is more passive than Tangle Wire but plays in a similar resource-taxing shell.TanglebloomutilityBudget$0.07A budget-friendly artifact option that can fill a low-cost disruptive slot in artifact-heavy control shells, though it is far less oppressive. It is included mainly as a cheaper artifact-world alternative rather than a direct equal.Thorn of AmethyststaxBudget$1.16Taxes noncreature spells and slows opponents’ development like Tangle Wire does, but through mana rather than tapping permanents. It is a staple stax piece in similar decks.Sphere of Resistancestax$26.94Another broad tax effect that makes it harder for opponents to deploy resources, matching Tangle Wire’s disruptive tempo role. It is more permanent and affects both players equally.
