Mana Leakcounterspell$0.45Very close to Make Disappear as a cheap soft counter that taxes the opponent unless they can pay additional mana. It is a classic tempo counterspell in blue decks.Censorcounterspell$0.22Functions as a 2-mana soft counter that can often punish early plays and remains useful later via cycling. It fills the same tempo-control role as Make Disappear.Quenchcounterspell$0.04A straightforward 2-mana counter that taxes the opponent in a similar way. It is less flexible than Make Disappear but serves the same early-game permission role.Spell Piercecounterspell$0.29A cheaper permission spell that protects tempo by punishing noncreature spells unless the opponent pays extra. It is narrower, but often plays the same role in low-curve blue decks.Dazecounterspell$1.75Another free/tempo-oriented soft counter that can disrupt early development. It is stronger in tempo shells and overlaps heavily with Make Disappear's role.Force Spikecounterspell$6.17A very similar early-game tax counter that can catch opponents tapped out. It is a budget-friendly, old-school functional cousin to Make Disappear.Unwindcounterspell$1.36Not a tax counter, but it serves the same reactive blue permission role while replacing itself by untapping lands. It is a good upgrade in control shells that want to hold up interaction.Negatecounterspell$0.54A 2-mana hard counter for noncreature spells, offering a comparable role in protecting your plan. It is broader in some matchups and stronger against combo/control.
