Man-o'-WarutilityBudget$0.13A classic blue tempo creature that bounces any target creature on entry, filling the same enter-the-battlefield disruption role. It is similarly costed and provides immediate board impact.Venser, Shaper Savantutility$0.72Provides flexible instant-speed interaction by bouncing a spell or permanent, often functioning as a stronger upgraded tempo play. It keeps the blue bounce/control identity while being more versatile.Aether AdeptutilityBudget$0.12This is another blue creature that returns a creature to hand on ETB, serving the same tempo-oriented body-plus-bounce package. It is one of the closest analogs in terms of card structure.Reflector Mageutility$6.65A highly efficient bounce creature that removes a creature from the board and delays recasting it. It is a stronger tempo version of the same ETB disruption pattern.Deputy of Detentionremoval$0.24While it exiles rather than bounces, it fills the same role of a creature-based answer to problematic nonland permanents. It is a broader upgrade in raw removal quality.Seal of Removalutility$0.33This is a cheap blue tempo answer that can return a creature to hand, giving you repeated interaction if needed. It matches the blue bounce function at a lower mana rate and different card type.Unsummonutility$0.16A straightforward blue bounce spell that performs the same basic tempo function of resetting a permanent to hand. It is the simplest budget alternative to a bounce ETB creature.Boomerangutility$0.32This provides the same broad bounce effect on any permanent, including artifacts and enchantments. It is a very close functional match in color identity and interaction style.
