Lightning Boltremoval$2.13Efficient red instant removal that can also finish players, with the same low-cost tempo role. It lacks proliferate but is a premier strict upgrade in efficiency.Abraderemoval$0.32Flexible red instant that can either remove a small creature or artifact. Like Volt Charge, it is a cheap interactive spell in red, though without the counter synergies.Galvanic Blastremoval$1.50Another 2-mana red instant burn spell that often deals 4 damage in artifact decks. It fills a similar removal/burn slot at a comparable rate.Searing Blazeremoval$4.92Red instant removal that also damages a player, functioning as efficient burn-based interaction. It is similar in being a cheap tempo spell, though it needs landfall to maximize value.Skredremoval$1.47Efficient red instant removal that scales in mono-red and can answer larger creatures. It plays the same interactive role as a burn spell, though without proliferate.Tezzeret's Gambitutility$0.81A proliferate spell that rewards counter-based decks and helps advance planeswalkers, poison, and +1/+1 counters. It is not removal, but it shares the proliferate half of Volt Charge's functionality.Contagion Clasputility$0.58Reusable proliferate source that helps grow counters over time, especially in poison or planeswalker shells. It is slower than Volt Charge but serves the same counter-advancement role.
