It is a common functional analog in blue for repeatable or ETB-based bounce effects.Stormtide Leviathanfinisher$3.03A large blue finisher that can dominate combat and stabilize the board in a similar endgame slot. While it does not bounce creatures, it fills the same high-cost blue top-end role.Diluvian Primordialutility$0.58Expensive blue creature with a powerful ETB that generates immediate board impact. Like Hoverguard Sweepers, it is a big evasive threat that provides value when it enters.Aether Adeptremoval$0.12A classic blue bounce creature that returns a creature to hand on entry. It is much cheaper, but it serves the same tempo-removal function.Man-o'-Warremoval$0.13One of the most direct functional equivalents for blue creature-bounce ETB effects. It is cheaper and trades up on tempo, though it bounces only one creature.Vodalian Wave-Knightutility$7.90Blue creature that can generate card advantage or tempo while applying pressure. It overlaps with Hoverguard Sweepers as a blue flying creature that offers board impact beyond stats.Dream Eaterremoval$0.37Flash flying blue creature that provides immediate tempo by bouncing a nonland permanent and surveilling. It is a tighter, more efficient version of a big blue evasive ETB value creature.Coiling Oraclecard_draw$0.24While lower in cost, it is a classic blue-based ETB value creature that replaces itself and develops the board.
