Jhoira's TimebugutilityBudget$0.18Manipulates time counters on suspended cards and other permanents, serving a similar temporal-counter utility role. It is narrower and repeatable rather than an instant effect.Rift ElementalutilityBudget$0.18Can add or remove time counters from suspended cards, closely matching one half of Timecrafting's functionality. It provides ongoing access to time-counter manipulation in red.Reality Strobeutility$2.51A suspend-focused spell that interacts with time counters and recurring exile/suspend gameplay, overlapping with the same counter-management space. It doesn't move counters directly, but serves the same temporal control role.Shivan Sand-MageutilityBudget$0.21Moves suspend counters by removing or adding them to a suspended card, making it one of the closest functional matches. It is a creature-based version of the same effect.Magosi, the Waterveilutility$1.21Uses eon counters and time manipulation to set up delayed extra turns, occupying a similar 'time counter' utility niche. It is a land, so the effect is less flexible but repeatable.Clockspinningutility$0.39Directly adds or removes counters from permanents, including time counters in many contexts, which is very close to Timecrafting's modular counter manipulation. It is cheaper and more flexible in counter type but not limited to red.Tidehollow StrixutilityBudget$0.19Not a direct time-counter card, but it represents a cheap utility spell in the same general tempo-interaction space. This is a weaker functional match and mainly a budget-style placeholder for counter manipulation decks.Fury Charmutility$0.24A low-cost red instant that can remove counters from a permanent, partially overlapping with Timecrafting's counter-removal mode. It is narrower, but efficient for the same kind of game-state manipulation.
