Mana Leakremoval$0.45A classic 2-mana soft counter that taxes the spell’s controller in a very similar way. It is often stronger early, but weaker later in the game.Force Spikeremoval$6.17This is the most direct low-cost tax counterspell, often stopping a spell unless the controller pays 1. It fills the same tempo-disruption role at a lower rate.Spell Pierceremoval$0.29Another cheap soft counter that punishes noncreature spells unless the controller pays 2. It serves a similar tempo and protection role.CensorremovalBudget$0.22A counterspell that taxes the opponent unless they pay 1, while later cycling away when it is no longer useful. It plays the same early-game permission role.Miscalculationremoval$0.44Like Convolute, it counters a spell unless its controller pays more mana, but it taxes by 2 rather than 4. It can also cycle when the counter mode is weak.SyncopateremovalBudget$0.18This counters a spell unless the controller pays an X-based tax, making it flexible in the same soft-counter space. It scales better into the late game than Convolute.Ward of Bonesutility$18.00Not a counterspell, but it creates a broad tax on casting and board development that can function like a permission-style slowdown. It is a more stax-oriented alternative.
