Cloudshiftprotection$1.05Very close functional equivalent: it blinks a creature you control at instant speed for one white mana. It also can save a creature or retrigger enter-the-battlefield abilities.Ephemerateprotection$14.73A premier blink spell that protects a creature and reuses ETB triggers, with rebound for extra value. It is more flexible over two turns but costs white instead of blue.Ghostly Flickerutility$1.24Similar blink effect that can target a creature and another permanent, often used for ETB value and protection. It costs more but provides extra flexibility.Momentary BlinkprotectionBudget$0.18A classic instant-speed blink spell that can save a creature and retrigger ETB abilities. Flashback gives additional card economy compared to Essence Flux.Flicker of FateprotectionBudget$0.22A cheap instant-speed blink spell with the same core play pattern of exiling and returning a creature or enchantment. It is slower in color identity but very similar in function.Restoration AngelutilityBudget$0.28Not an instant, but it performs the same blink role while adding a body to the board. It is a strong functional analogue for ETB value decks.Felidar Guardianutility$2.89A creature-based blink effect that fills the same role of protecting or retriggering another permanent. It is sorcery-speed on entry, but widely used for the same value patterns.Eerie Interludeprotection$7.79A mass-blink protection spell that can save multiple creatures and retrigger ETB abilities at once. It serves a similar defensive/value role at instant speed.
