Mox is analysing…
Wall of Boneutility$0.14A classic black defender that stalls combat and is very close in purpose to Wall of Shadows as a cheap defensive wall. It trades the special damage prevention text for regeneration, keeping it resilient in combat.Wall of Limbsutility$0.12Another black Wall that blocks well and can become a threat later, fitting the same black defensive creature slot. It has similar board-stalling utility with a built-in payoff for life gain.Carnivorous Plantutility$0.37A black-green wall-like defender that is mainly played to hold the ground and deter attacks. It lacks the same protection text, but it fills the same early-game defensive role.Undercity Scroungerutility$0.10This is not a wall, but it plays a similar role as a black defensive body that can leverage counters and board presence. It works as a sturdier blocker in the same mana range.Drift of Phantasmsutility$0.85A classic defender that blocks well and provides utility through transmute, similar to Wall of Shadows as an early-game stall piece. It is blue rather than black, but it matches the same structural role closely.Wall of Soulsutility$1.46This wall punishes attackers and is one of the closest analogs to a black defensive blocker that discourages combat. It is less durable in direct combat than Wall of Shadows, but fills a very similar niche.Wall of Deceitutility$0.44A cheap defender that can stay relevant through morph-style flexibility and combat tricks. It is not black, but it serves the same function of buying time while remaining hard to profitably attack into.Looming ShadeutilityBudget$0.04Not a wall, but a black creature that excels at surviving early and scaling into a blocker or threat, which can occupy a similar slot in black control shells. It offers a more aggressive alternative to a pure defender.
