Counterspellcounterspell$0.98The cleanest baseline two-mana unconditional counterspell in blue. It fills the same reactive stack-interaction role without the additional cost drawback.Mana LeakcounterspellBudget$0.45A classic 2-mana counter that often functions like a hard counter early. It’s a common budget-friendly alternative to Familiar's Ruse in blue control shells.Arcane Denialcounterspell$2.53A two-mana universal counterspell with a different drawback of giving card draw next turn. It’s broadly similar in role and is often easier to cast than double-blue.Negatecounterspell$0.54A two-mana counterspell for noncreature spells, making it a slightly narrower but efficient replacement. It keeps the same tempo-oriented instant interaction plan.Remandcounterspell$0.80A two-mana tempo counterspell that buys a turn while replacing itself. It plays similarly to Familiar's Ruse in proactive blue decks that want to preserve mana efficiency.Force Spikecounterspell$6.17A very cheap tempo counter that can punish tapped-out opponents early. It serves a similar role in aggressive-blue or tempo strategies, though it is much narrower.DeprivecounterspellBudget$0.46Another counterspell with an additional cost that returns a land you control to its owner's hand. It is the closest functional cousin to Familiar's Ruse in both cost and drawback structure.ExcludecounterspellBudget$0.13A blue counterspell that replaces itself by drawing a card if it counters a creature spell. It’s similar in being a value-oriented counter with card-advantage upside.
