Sleepremoval$0.13A stronger blue tempo spell that taps all creatures an opponent controls and keeps them tapped for a full turn cycle. It fills the same role of buying time by disabling attackers.Aetherizeutility$0.34Not a tap spell, but it serves the same defensive role by punishing a creature attack and clearing the way for a turn. It is a common blue way to stall combat at instant speed.Aetherspoutsutility$0.62Similar blue instant-speed combat control that can completely disrupt an attack step. It replaces tapping with a stronger tempo swing.Frost Breathremoval$0.05Closest functional equivalent: it taps two creatures and keeps them from untapping next turn. It is a slightly narrower but more persistent version of Downpour.Blustersquallutility$0.51A blue tempo tap spell that can tap down a key blocker or attacker, especially in a later overloaded mode. It shares the same disruption role with a more flexible late-game option.Gigadrowseutility$0.23A highly flexible blue tap spell that can tap one or many permanents, often used to stall combat or break up defenses. It overlaps strongly with Downpour's tempo function.Icy Blastutility$0.81A bigger blue tempo spell that taps multiple creatures and can potentially leave them from untapping. It is a stronger but more expensive version of the same game plan.Evacuationremoval$0.77While it returns creatures instead of tapping them, it serves the same blue control purpose of neutralizing an attack and resetting tempo. It is a much broader defensive answer.
