Reverberateutility$2.83This is the cleanest red analog for copying an instant or sorcery spell at instant speed. It is narrower than Return the Favor because it cannot hit abilities, but it fills the same reactive copy role.Forkutility$101.50Classic red spell-copy effect that copies an instant or sorcery spell and can redirect it with new targets. It overlaps heavily with the first mode of Return the Favor.Twincastutility$4.35A very efficient blue-red style copy spell that performs the same basic function of copying an instant or sorcery spell. It is narrower than Return the Favor but often a stronger rate.Wild RicochetutilityBudget$0.32This is one of the closest functional cousins in red: it can copy a spell and retarget it, giving strong interaction and blowout potential. It is more expensive but broader and higher impact.ShuntutilityBudget$0.78Shunt directly matches the red 'change the target' interaction from Return the Favor's second mode. It is narrower because it only redirects, but it does the same job at a cheaper rate.Deflecting Swatprotection$68.48A premier red protection and redirection spell that can change the target of a spell or ability. It is much more efficient in Commander, though it does not copy anything.Boltwaveremoval$3.16This is not a copy effect, but it fills a similar reactive red slot as a cheap instant-speed spell that can interact with targets. It is a much narrower budget alternative to broad spell redirection.DeflectionutilityBudget$0.37A very old-school red redirect spell that changes the target of a spell, functioning similarly to Return the Favor's second mode. It is narrower, but it is on-theme and can produce similar blowouts.
