Mox is analysing…
Mana Leakremoval$0.45A very close blue counterspell at the same mana cost, also taxing the opponent unless they pay extra. It is less conditional than Anticognition but fills the same early-game permission role.Censorremoval$0.22Another 2-mana blue tempo counterspell that taxes the opponent early. It is broader in what it can counter, and cycling gives it extra utility when the counter mode is weak.QuenchremovalBudget$0.04Very similar as a 2-mana soft counter that asks the opponent to pay more mana. It is simpler and more flexible in the types of spells it can hit.Miscalculationremoval$0.44A blue tempo counter that can either tax a spell or be cycled away if it's dead. It serves the same early interaction role with added card selection.Essence ScatterremovalBudget$0.05Shares the same mana cost bracket and is also an efficient blue instant that answers creature spells. It trades the tax effect for certainty against creatures.Negateremoval$0.54A similar cheap blue counterspell that protects you from noncreature threats instead of creatures and planeswalkers. It is a common functional alternative in control shells.Prohibitremoval$0.30Another low-cost blue counterspell with an additional scaling mode. It is a bit more restrictive, but often serves the same early permission role.Soul Manipulationremoval$0.21A slightly more expensive permission spell with a graveyard-related upside. It overlaps in control decks that want flexible interaction and value.
