Assassin's Trophyremoval$4.02Flexible Golgari removal that can answer any nonland permanent, much like Vraska's -3. It trades the mana-value restriction for giving the opponent a basic land.Abrupt DecayremovalBudget$1.95Efficient BG removal for small permanents, overlapping with Vraska's cheap permanent-kill mode. It is narrower on mana value but much harder to counter.Maelstrom PulseremovalBudget$0.52Broad answer to nonland permanents and token boards, filling a similar midrange removal role. It is slower but can hit any size permanent that shares a name.Binding the Old GodsremovalBudget$0.15Kills a nonland permanent and provides extra value over time, fitting the same Golgari attrition plan. It is slower, but the ramp from Chapter II helps offset the cost.The ElderspellremovalBudget$0.67A planeswalker-focused removal spell in the same color pair, especially strong in planeswalker-heavy games. It plays a similar role of turning opposing board pieces into a resource.Golgari CharmutilityBudget$0.77Versatile BG utility spell that can function as sweep protection or small-creature interaction. It is less direct than Vraska, but it offers flexible interactive value at a similar cost.PlaguecrafterremovalBudget$0.43Forces sacrifice in a way that mirrors Vraska's sacrifice theme and can clear away a key permanent or creature. It is less selective, but excellent in grindy decks.Liliana, Dreadhorde Generalcard_draw$14.64A similarly grindy planeswalker that rewards sacrificing creatures and generates card advantage. It is more expensive, but it fills the same attrition-and-resource-denial niche.
