The easier and cheaper villainous way to deny spaceflight to someone is just to shoot missiles at their spacecraft.

Missiles can be pretty expensive, and if you go far downscale on cost and capabilities, you'll need to recruit fanatics who are willing to get caught every time a missile is fired at a spacecraft.

On the other hand, if the fleet of BFRs grows in numbers, then 100 flights of a BFR might be pretty inexpensive for a military operation that affects all strategic theaters at once.

The chief advantage of missiles, would be the ability to not shoot down your own rockets.
