Vodalian IllusionistutilityBudget$0.24A blue wizard creature that can be used as repeatable spell interaction and plays a similar defensive control role. It is also a low-cost creature in blue decks that want a wizard shell.Voidmage Prodigyutility$2.40A Wizard tribal counterspell engine that sacrifices Wizards to counter spells, closely matching the source card’s self-sacrificing counter role. It is stronger in Wizard-heavy builds but asks for tribal support.Patron Wizardutility$5.07A blue Wizard that turns your Wizard board into counterspell permission, filling a similar soft-lock control role. It scales better than a single-sacrifice counter creature in a Wizard deck.Saprazzan Legateremoval$0.35An old blue creature that can be sacrificed for a free counterspell-like effect, serving a similar niche of creature-based permission. It is narrower, but functionally comparable as emergency interaction.Meddling Mageprotection$2.22A cheap creature-based way to disrupt opposing spells, occupying a similar disruptive control slot even though it names rather than counters. It is a strict upgrade in many matchups for proactive protection.Mausoleum WandererutilityBudget$0.17A blue creature that can sacrifice itself for spell interaction, closely echoing the source card’s threat-plus-counterspell gameplay. It is much cheaper, but only counters instants and sorceries unless pumped.Spellstutter Spriteutility$5.91A flash blue creature that counters a spell on entry, giving you tempo-based permission on a body. It is a more efficient but less repeatable version of creature-based counter magic.Dismal FailureutilityBudget$0.17A straightforward blue counterspell effect in a similar color and control role, but without the creature body. It is a cleaner traditional alternative for decks that just want the permission effect.
