Mox is analysing…
Mana Leakremoval$0.45Very close 2-mana interactive counterspell that is efficient in the early game. It lacks the bounce-back card draw, but fills the same tempo-control role.Counterspellremoval$0.98A stronger baseline 2-mana hard counter for blue decks. It replaces Remand's tempo cantrip with unconditional countering.Memory LapseremovalBudget$0.36Closest functional cousin to Remand: it counters a spell and sends it to the top of its owner's library instead of the graveyard. It also creates strong tempo, though it doesn't draw a card.Arcane Denialremoval$2.53Interactive 2-mana counterspell that replaces itself and is widely used as a tempo tool. It gives the opponent cards later, but serves a similar role to Remand in blue decks.Forbidremoval$0.76A blue counterspell that can be used as a reusable control tool with card disadvantage prevention. It occupies a similar counter-and-advantage slot, though at a higher mana investment.Delayremoval$1.50Very similar tempo counter that exiles the spell and returns it later if not recast. Like Remand, it disrupts a turn without permanently answering the spell.UnsubstantiateutilityBudget$0.28A close tempo play that can either counter a spell or bounce a creature. It mirrors Remand's interactive, non-permanent disruption at the same mana cost.Condescendremoval$0.47A scalable blue counterspell that also draws selection through scry. It fills a similar interactive tempo role, though it becomes better in the late game than Remand.
