Quietus SpikefinisherBudget$1.18Like Vorpal Sword, this Equipment turns a creature into a lethal combat threat with deathtouch and a damage-based kill pressure. It provides a strong combat-finisher role, though it hits life totals instead of outright winning the game.Bloodchief's ThirstremovalBudget$0.10A cheap black removal spell that serves a similarly efficient, game-swinging purpose in black decks. While not an Equipment, it fills the same low-cost black interaction slot that Vorpal Sword can complement.Gorgon FlailutilityBudget$0.43This Equipment grants deathtouch and a power boost, closely mirroring Vorpal Sword’s combat-stat package. It lacks the instant-win activated ability, but it is a very similar budget combat weapon.Basilisk Collarutility$3.77Another Equipment that gives deathtouch and increases survivability in combat, making any creature much harder to block. It also adds lifelink, giving it a strong black-adjacent combat role even though it is colorless.Loxodon WarhammerfinisherBudget$1.03A classic Equipment that turns small creatures into lethal threats through a large power boost and combat damage payoff. It is less directly related than Vorpal Sword, but it fills the same 'one creature becomes the win condition' role.ScytheclawfinisherBudget$0.22This Equipment rewards combat damage to players by threatening a large life-total swing, similar to Vorpal Sword’s assassination-style pressure. It is more of a life-loss finisher than a direct win condition, but it plays in the same lane.Skullclampcard_draw$4.74While not a combat finisher, it is one of black's most iconic Equipment cards and a powerful artifact that turns creatures into card advantage. It is a strong functional alternative if you want a cheap equipment-based black engine.Mask of Griselbrandcard_drawBudget$0.39This Equipment gives evasive-style combat utility and card draw, fitting black's creature-enhancing artifact plan. It is not a kill threat like Vorpal Sword, but it is a similar black Equipment that improves a creature and converts combat into value.
