Turn to Frogremoval$0.19A direct functional cousin: it temporarily removes a creature’s combat relevance by setting base power and toughness low while also stripping abilities. It is a strong blue tempo trick in the same one-mana slot.Polymorphist's Jestremoval$4.28This is a broader blue combat/control trick that can blank opposing creatures for a turn by turning them into 1/1 Frogs with no abilities. It performs a very similar temporary neutralization role, though it costs more and affects multiple creatures.Kasmina's TransmutationremovalBudget$0.09Like Diminish, it is cheap blue interaction that weakens a target creature’s combat presence for the turn by setting its stats to 1/1. It is narrower in that it also removes abilities, but fills the same tempo/disruption role.Frogifyremoval$0.18While not temporary, it is one of the closest blue answers to a creature by effectively blanking its abilities and reducing its combat utility. It is a common budget-friendly substitute when you want blue creature suppression.Dragonshiftutility$0.22This is a more expensive blue spell that changes creatures into 4/4 Dragons, serving a similar 'reset the board's combat math' function in a much broader way. It’s not a direct replacement, but it plays in the same space of temporary creature transformation.Witness Protectionremoval$0.11A cheap blue answer that turns a creature into a harmless 1/1 with no abilities, closely overlapping with Diminish’s role of neutralizing a threat. It is often a stronger long-term tempo play because the effect is permanent.Oversimplifyremoval$0.28This is a blue removal spell that replaces a creature with a 1/1 token, functionally turning the threat into something much smaller and less dangerous. It is more expensive, but it offers a similar 'downgrade the creature' game plan.Venser, Shaper Savantutility$0.72Not a stat-setting spell, but it fills a similar blue tempo role by temporarily neutralizing a threat through bounce and disrupting an opponent’s line. It’s a stronger, more versatile option at a much higher mana cost.
