Impulsecard_draw$0.31Very close functional match: instant-speed library selection that looks at the top four cards and puts one into hand. It costs slightly more mana but provides a deeper selection for similar blue decks.Considercard_draw$1.04A cheap blue cantrip that smooths draws and digs one card deeper with surveil. It serves a similar role as early-game card selection, though it replaces itself immediately rather than choosing from multiple cards.Optcard_draw$0.44Classic blue instant cantrip for draw smoothing and card selection. It is less powerful than Anticipate but fills the same early-game filtering role at a lower cost.Sleight of Handcard_draw$1.18One-mana blue selection spell that digs for a needed card, playing a similar role in combo and control shells. It is cheaper but offers less card depth than Anticipate.Strategic Planningcard_draw$0.24Looks at the top three cards and helps arrange your hand and graveyard, making it a strong functional cousin to Anticipate. It is sorcery-speed and adds graveyard value, but the selection depth is very similar.Peer Through Depthscard_draw$0.23Another instant-speed dig spell that looks at the top five cards and finds an instant or sorcery. It is slightly narrower, but very similar in role for blue combo/control decks.Portentutility$0.45Blue library manipulation that looks three deep and can draw a card, giving similar deck-smoothing utility. It is slower because of delayed draw, but the selection pattern overlaps well.Serum Visionscard_draw$1.67Staple blue cantrip for filtering draws through scry and immediate card replacement. It is a common budget and format-wide alternative for the same early setup role.
