RedirectprotectionBudget$0.30Very close effect that changes the target of a spell with a single target, serving the same defensive and tempo role. It is cheaper to cast but lacks Misdirection's alternate free-blue-card cost.Narset's ReversalprotectionBudget$2.52Functions as a stronger tempo tool by copying and bouncing a spell, effectively negating targeted spells and preserving value. It is more versatile than Misdirection, though it costs less mana and cannot directly redirect every single-target spell in the same way.Deflecting Swatprotection$68.48Acts as a premium spell redirection effect, often used to protect yourself or disrupt targeted removal. It is especially similar in function, though it is red-based and can be cast for free with a commander.Bolt BendprotectionBudget$4.06Another red spell that changes the target of a spell or ability and fills the same role of protecting a key permanent. It is often cheaper in practice thanks to its power-reduction alternative cost.ShuntprotectionBudget$0.78A classic red analogue to Misdirection that changes the target of a spell with a single target. It matches the core functionality closely but costs more mana and has different color identity.SwerveprotectionBudget$0.45Redirects a spell with a single target and is one of the closest budget alternatives to Misdirection. It preserves the same play pattern of turning removal or burn elsewhere.ReverberateprotectionBudget$2.83Not a direct target-change spell, but it can copy a targeted spell and choose new targets, functioning similarly as a defensive or disruptive interaction piece. It also can generate value in ways Misdirection cannot.TwincastprotectionBudget$4.35Similar in that it interacts with a spell on the stack and can copy it with new targets when relevant. It is narrower than Misdirection, but serves a comparable blue spell-disruption role.
