Cryptic Commandremoval$5.93A premier blue instant that can counter a spell while also providing additional value through card draw or other tempo effects. It occupies the same high-end counterspell role, though with a heavier mana requirement.Rewindremoval$8.25This is another instant-speed counterspell that refunds mana by untapping lands, making it similar as a four-mana blue control tool. It provides tempo and keeps you open for further interaction.Dismiss into Dreamutility$0.71Not a counterspell, but it is a blue control card that neutralizes opposing creatures and creates a powerful board-control effect. It fits a similar expensive, value-oriented blue control role.Memory Lapseremoval$0.36A cheaper blue counterspell that disrupts the opponent’s plan and can generate virtual card advantage. While it does not draw a card, it fills a similar interactive control role at a lower cost.Dismissive Pyromancercard_draw$0.20This card isn’t a direct equivalent, but it provides a spell-drawing control role in blue-red shells and helps keep cards flowing. It can resemble Dismiss in decks that want interaction plus hand replenishment.CancelremovalBudget$0.10A clean, straightforward counterspell at the same mana cost, serving the same basic permission role. It lacks the draw clause but is the closest functional budget alternative in many decks.Arcane Denialremoval$2.53This is one of the closest functional replacements: it counters any spell and replaces itself with card draw. The drawback of giving the opponent cards is offset by the lower mana cost.Complicateremoval$0.58A flexible blue counterspell that can also cycle into card advantage, making it a reasonable analog to Dismiss in interactive decks. The mana cost is lower, but the ceiling is different.
