BoomerangremovalBudget$0.32A very close blue bounce spell that returns any nonland permanent to its owner's hand. It lacks the sacrifice/copy rider, but fills the same cheap tempo-removal role.UnsummonremovalBudget$0.16A classic 1-mana blue instant that bounces a creature efficiently. It is narrower than Chain of Vapor, but serves the same low-cost tempo function.Into the RoilremovalBudget$0.17Flexible instant-speed bounce for any nonland permanent, with the option to draw a card. It costs more, but is a strong functional substitute in slower decks.Fading HoperemovalBudget$0.67Cheap blue bounce that can hit a creature and potentially scry for extra value. It is more restrictive than Chain of Vapor, but similar as a tempo interaction spell.Echoing TruthremovalBudget$0.20Instant-speed bounce for any nonland permanent, especially strong against token armies and duplicated permanents. It is a little less pinpoint than Chain of Vapor, but serves a similar utility role.SnapremovalBudget$2.77Bounces a creature and can untap two lands, making it a strong tempo play. It is narrower than Chain of Vapor, but comparable as a cheap interactive blue instant.RemandutilityBudget$0.80Not direct removal, but it is a blue tempo counterspell that delays a key spell and replaces itself. In fast decks, it competes for the same early-game disruption slot.Cyclonic Riftremoval$29.83The premier blue mass-bounce spell, able to answer any nonland permanent and later reset the board. It is much more expensive, but is a strict upgrade in power for many blue decks.
