It is a close functional analogue for early interaction at a similar cost.Censorremoval$0.22A low-cost counter that asks the opponent to pay extra mana unless they want their spell countered. It can also be cycled when it is no longer useful.Spell Snareremoval$0.38A very cheap interactive counterspell that stops key spells before they resolve. While narrower, it serves the same tempo-oriented permission role.Force Spikeremoval$6.17An extremely cheap tax counter that often trades up on mana in the early turns. It plays a similar role as a punishing soft counter.Condescendremoval$0.47A scalable counterspell that taxes the opponent unless they pay additional mana. Its flexibility makes it a strong functional cousin to Evasive Action.Arcane Denialremoval$2.53A universal counterspell at a very efficient rate.
