Mana Leakcounterspell$0.45A classic soft counter that taxes the opponent in a similar way, often functioning as early-game disruption. It is less scalable than Power Sink but fills the same role of forcing a spell through a payment check.Spell Piercecounterspell$0.29Another cheap permission spell that counters noncreature spells unless their controller pays extra. It overlaps as a tempo counter, though it is narrower and much cheaper than Power Sink.Syncopatecounterspell$0.18X-based counter magic that scales similarly with available mana and exiles the spell if countered. It is the closest functional analogue in blue to a scalable tax counter.Counterspellcounterspell$0.98The cleanest unconditional permission spell in blue and a strict upgrade in many situations. It does not tax mana like Power Sink, but it serves the same interactive counter role at a cheaper fixed cost.Remandcounterspell$0.80A tempo counter that disrupts the opponent's turn and buys time, similar to Power Sink's role as a stall tool. It does not permanently answer the spell, but it fits the same low-cost blue interaction slot.Memory Lapsecounterspell$0.36Another tempo counter that delays a spell and keeps the opponent off-balance. It occupies the same early interaction space as Power Sink, though without the variable mana tax.Condescendcounterspell$0.47An X-based counterspell with scry, making it one of the closest functional matches to Power Sink. Both scale with mana and are aimed at flexible permission over a wide range of game states.Miscalculationcounterspell$0.44A low-cost counter that can scale into a soft tax by cycling, helping preserve tempo. It is not as flexible as Power Sink, but it plays a similar early disruption role.
