Mana Leakremoval$0.45Classic 2-mana soft counterspell that taxes the opponent similarly, often functioning as unconditional countermagic early in the game.Remandremoval$0.80A 2-mana tempo counterspell that delays a spell rather than fully answering it, similar in role as a cheap interactive blue instant.Spell Pierceremoval$0.29Cheaper permission spell that taxes noncreature spells, serving the same early-game disruption role at a lower cost.Force Spikeremoval$6.17Very similar soft counter that taxes the opponent for a small amount of mana, useful as a budget tempo answer.Censorremoval$0.22Flexible early counterspell with a tax effect, offering the same cheap interaction slot with cycling as a late-game fallback.Negateremoval$0.54Cheap blue instant that stops many of the same important spells, though it is narrower because it only hits noncreature spells.Condescendremoval$0.47A scalable soft counterspell that can tax a spell by a variable amount, overlapping strongly with the resource-denial role.Syncopateremoval$0.18Exiles the target spell unless its controller pays extra mana, which closely matches the tax-and-counter gameplay of Dazzling Denial.
