Force Spikecounterspell$6.17A cheap soft counter that punishes tapped-out opponents in much the same way Daze does. It fills the same tempo role, especially in early turns.Spell PiercecounterspellBudget$0.29One of the closest functional analogs: a 1-mana tempo counter that taxes noncreature spells instead of requiring full payment. It is also a strong early-game interaction piece in blue decks.Miscastcounterspell$6.32Very similar tempo counter that taxes instants and sorceries, making it efficient against early interaction and combo. It plays as a cheaper, narrower cousin to Daze.Stern Scoldingcounterspell$2.31A low-cost interactive counterspell-like effect that can disrupt specific creatures or blue permanents efficiently. While narrower than Daze, it serves a similar tempo-preserving role in blue decks.Mental Misstepcounterspell$67.20An ultra-efficient free interaction spell that, like Daze, is valued for tempo rather than raw card economy. It handles key one-mana threats or answers without spending mana.Pact of Negationcounterspell$15.79Another free counterspell that protects your development while interrupting a crucial spell. It is a strict upgrade in power but has a much steeper delayed cost.Foilcounterspell$1.21A free counterspell option that, like Daze, can be cast without paying mana by using alternate resources. It serves the same role of holding up interaction while advancing your board.Force of Willcounterspell$18.89The premier free blue counterspell, similar to Daze in that it lets you interact without leaving mana open. It is stronger and broader, but comes with an alternate cost.
