Frozen Aetherutility$1.45It taxes opposing permanents entering the battlefield, serving a similar soft-control role to Sunken Field by slowing the opponent down. While not land-based, it creates a comparable tempo and denial effect in blue.Rhystic Studycard_draw$61.34Like Sunken Field, it pressures opponents by making their spells less efficient unless they pay extra. It is one of the strongest blue tax effects and a clear functional upgrade for attrition-based control.Mystic Remoracard_draw$8.93This is another classic blue taxing enchantment that punishes opponents for casting spells unless they pay extra. It fills a similar early-game disruption role and is often stronger in multiplayer.Mana Leakremoval$0.45This is the cleanest direct analogue in blue: a spell that counters unless its controller pays {3}. It performs the same kind of soft permission role, just as a one-shot instant rather than a reusable land aura.Force Spikeremoval$6.17A very similar soft counterspell that punishes tapped-out or low-mana opponents. It mirrors Sunken Field’s 'pay extra or lose it' play pattern at a lower rate and with a narrower window.Dazeremoval$1.75Daze taxes a spell unless its controller pays {1}, closely matching Sunken Field’s payment amount. It is more tempo-focused and can function as a surprise protection or disruption piece.Tithe TakerutilityBudget$0.28This creates a recurring tax on opponents during your turn, making their interaction more expensive in a way that resembles Sunken Field’s defensive pressure. It’s more of a proactive tempo piece than pure countermagic.Kismetutility$0.55Kismet slows opponents by making their permanents come in tapped, which is another form of blue-style soft denial. While not a counter tax, it shares the same long-game stax/control function.
