Counterfluxremoval$0.49A hard counter in the same blue-red color pair that can also win counter wars. It fills a similar reactive control role, though it is less efficient against a single spell and stronger in stack-heavy games.DissolveremovalBudget$0.16A classic 3-mana counterspell with card selection, often used in the same control shells. It lacks the damage rider but offers scry and a similar hard-stop effect.CancelremovalBudget$0.10The baseline 3-mana hard counter in blue, serving the same core function. It is a simpler budget alternative without the extra damage.Sinister SabotageremovalBudget$0.13A functional counterspell in blue that is common in spell-slinging control decks. It trades Ionize's damage for surveil, helping set up draws and graveyard synergies.Absorbremoval$0.33A 3-mana hard counter with an extra life swing, similar to Ionize's added damage rider. It is in a different color identity but serves the same tempo-and-value role.QuenchremovalBudget$0.04A cheaper soft counter that often fills the same early-game interaction slot. It is less universal than Ionize, but a strong budget tempo option.Render Silentremoval$2.10A blue-white counterspell that fully stops a spell and prevents further casting that turn. It matches Ionize's role as a clean answer, with a stronger lock-style payoff instead of damage.Arcane Denialremoval$2.53A very efficient counterspell that draws cards and is widely used as a flexible answer. It is a strong budget-and-utility alternative to Ionize's straightforward hard counter.
