Burglar Ratutility$0.24Like Thieving Skydiver, this is a cheap creature-based disruptive effect that creates card disadvantage for the opponent on a body. It doesn’t steal permanents, but it fits the same early interaction role in black.Gilded Drakeutility$173.32This is one of the closest functional analogs: a small blue creature that exchanges control of a creature, often used as a tempo theft spell on a body. It’s much stronger, but serves the same permanent-stealing role.Vedalken Shacklesutility$6.11A classic blue control-steal card that repeatedly takes opposing creatures and converts board advantage over time. It fills the same long-game theft/tempo niche, though it targets creatures instead of artifacts.Puca's Mischiefutility$2.67This is another blue permanent-theft style card that steals away opposing permanents by swapping control. It’s slower and more political, but shares the same “take your stuff” game plan.Empress Galinautility$10.46A dedicated blue legend that can repeatedly gain control of legendary permanents, functioning as a theft engine. It’s narrower than Thieving Skydiver, but similar in being a blue control-stealing threat.Capricious Efreetutility$0.13This creature provides a temporary theft/swingy permanent disruption effect on a body, making it a similar style of value creature. It is less precise and more chaotic, but still in the same interactive role.ConfiscateutilityBudget$0.08A direct control-changing aura that permanently steals a problematic permanent. It overlaps with Thieving Skydiver in converting an opponent’s permanent into yours, though it costs much more and is not a creature.Acquireutility$2.21This is one of the most direct artifact-theft spells in blue, stealing an artifact outright from an opponent’s library. It mirrors Thieving Skydiver’s artifact-stealing theme very closely, but at sorcery speed.
