Baleful Strixutility$2.90Very close functional cousin: a cheap flying deathtouch artifact creature that also replaces itself with a card on enter-the-battlefield. It fills the same defensive tempo role in blue-black decks and beyond.Phyrexian Ragercard_drawBudget$0.04Another low-cost black value creature that trades combat presence for immediate card advantage. It is less evasive, but serves a similar role as an efficient defensive body with utility.Stern Proctorutility$0.26A cheap blue artifact creature with flying that can help control the board through tempo rather than direct damage. It is not deathtouch, but it occupies a similar low-cost evasive utility slot.Gleaming BarrierutilityBudget$0.09An inexpensive artifact creature that provides early defense and works well in artifact-centric shells. It lacks evasion and deathtouch, but fills a similar role as a cheap sticky blocker.Vault Skirgeutility$0.28A small evasive artifact creature that plays a similar aggressive-defense hybrid role in artifact decks. It does not have deathtouch, but its flying body and low cost make it a comparable tempo piece.Glaze FiendfinisherBudget$0.08Another black artifact creature with flying that rewards artifact-heavy board states. It is more aggressive than defensive, but fits similar deck shells and mana range.Ornithopter of Paradiseramp$0.37A cheap evasive-looking artifact creature substitute in the sense of being a low-cost artifact body for synergies. It is a mana creature rather than a combat piece, so it is more of a shell-level equivalent.Fetid ImputilityBudget$0.08A low-cost flying deathtouch creature that serves as a strong blocker and deterrent. It is not an artifact, but it matches the same combat utility pattern closely.
