Aether Tradewindsutility$0.04Bounces one of your own creatures or lands to hand and can be used to reset ETB effects, making it a close functional cousin to temporary self-exile and return. It is more flexible in targets but less guaranteed to preserve the permanent if discarded or recast awkwardly.Momentary Blinkutility$0.18A classic blink spell that exiles a creature you control and returns it, closely matching the repeatable ETB-reset utility of the Saga. It is cheaper and instant-speed, but only hits creatures, not lands.Ephemerateutility$14.73Efficient blink spell that temporarily exiles your creature and brings it back, often used to reuse ETB triggers multiple times. It is much cheaper, but narrower and not saga-based.Ghostly Flickerutility$1.24Can exile and return up to two of your own permanents, including a creature and/or land, which closely overlaps with the Saga’s self-protection and ETB-reset role. It costs less and is instant speed, but requires specific permanent types.Displaceutility$4.39A clean blink effect for your creatures, similar in function to temporarily removing your own permanent and returning it. It is cheaper and instant-speed, but does not hit lands.Cloudshiftutility$1.05One-mana blink that exiles a creature you control and returns it immediately, serving the same ETB-reset and protection role. It is the most efficient version, but much narrower and single-use.Semester's Endutility$1.69A broader blink spell that can exile and return your creatures and/or planeswalkers, similar in tempo and value-oriented use. It is more expensive and hits a different set of permanents, but fills the same role of temporary removal plus reuse.Teferi's Time Twistprotection$0.34Blink effect that exiles a permanent you control and returns it with a shield counter, functioning as protection plus ETB reset. It is close in cost and purpose, though it cannot hit lands and adds extra protection.
