Goblin Electromancerutility$0.23A very similar cost-reduction creature, but for instant and sorcery spells instead of specific colors. It fills the same role of making a subset of your spells cheaper at the same mana cost.Jace's Sanctumutility$0.67Provides spell cost reduction in blue decks, lowering the cost of instants and sorceries while also adding a small spell-casting bonus. It is a functional analog for reducing the cost of a spell package.Foundry Inspectorutility$0.44A strong cost-reduction creature that makes artifact spells cheaper, serving the same tempo role as Thornscape Familiar. It is especially similar in deckbuilding use as a 3-drop-ish reduction engine, though for artifacts.Cloud Keyutility$2.83A flexible cost reducer that can be set to a card type, letting it function as a generalized version of Thornscape Familiar. It offers similar mana efficiency for a chosen subset of spells.Baral, Chief of Complianceutility$13.68Reduces the cost of instants and sorceries by one, much like Familiar effects reduce specific spells. It also adds incidental card filtering, making it a premium version of the same concept in spell-heavy decks.Helm of Awakeningutility$1.20A classic universal cost reducer that makes all spells cost less, functioning as a broader but riskier version of the same mana-discount role. It can accelerate the same kind of game plan at the cost of helping opponents too.Grand Arbiter Augustin IVutility$16.55While it taxes opponents rather than only reducing your own spells, it occupies a similar space of mana efficiency and spell discounting. It is a stronger, more controlling upgrade in decks that can support its colors.Jet Medallionramp$12.59A color-specific cost reducer that lowers black spells by one, closely matching Thornscape Familiar’s style of reducing a subset of your spells. It is one of the closest one-mana-ramp-like reducers in form.
