Turn to Frogutility$0.19A similar blue-red-style combat trick in the sense of temporarily transforming a creature into a different form and stripping abilities. It is narrower and mono-blue, but it also changes stats and removes abilities at instant speed.Polymorphist's Jestutility$4.28This is a disruptive instant that turns creatures into harmless 1/1s and removes abilities, echoing Dragonshift's temporary transformation effect. It is more defensive and affects all creatures, but plays in the same space of altering board combat.Kasmina's TransmutationremovalBudget$0.09Temporarily strips a creature of abilities and reduces it to a small base body, similar to Dragonshift's 'lose all abilities' transformation. It is less combat-oriented and only single-target, but functionally comparable as creature nullification.Imprisoned in the Moonremoval$2.55This is a blue transformation-style effect that removes a creature's abilities and turns it into a harmless permanent. It is sorcery-speed and more permanent, but it fills a similar role of disabling a threat through transformation.Reality Shiftremoval$0.32A blue instant that answers a creature by exiling it and replacing it with a 2/2 token, similar in being a tempo-oriented creature transformation/neutralization spell. It is more removal than pump, but occupies the same color and instant-speed interaction space.Rapid Hybridizationremoval$1.50Another cheap blue instant that effectively removes a creature and leaves behind a small replacement token. It is more efficient and direct than Dragonshift, but serves a comparable role of turning a creature into something smaller and less threatening.Pongifyremoval$2.45A strict efficiency upgrade for blue creature removal that replaces a creature with a 3/3 Ape token. It is not a transformation trick, but it competes in the same instant-speed creature-answer slot.Aetherizeprotection$0.34While not a transformation spell, it is a strong blue tempo instant that protects you from an alpha strike and can swing combat similarly to Dragonshift's finisher use. It is a common alternative in the same mana range for reactive blue decks.
