Sunderutility$4.09A classic blue chaos/control piece that resets lands by bouncing all lands, creating a similar table-warping mana denial plan. It is one of the closest functional analogs to Taniwha’s land-phasing drawback and lock potential.Devastation TideutilityBudget$0.46This is a blue mass-bounce spell that can function as a soft reset for lands and other permanents, echoing Taniwha’s disruptive board-control angle. Miracle makes it a flexible tempo option.UpheavalutilityBudget$0.99A much stronger blue reset that bounces all permanents, including lands, and can lock opponents out when built around. It plays the same broad role of creating a lopsided mana denial state.Cyclone SummonerutilityBudget$0.30This creature acts as a one-sided-ish reset by bouncing nonland permanents on entry in many board states, generating the same kind of swingy tempo advantage. It is a big blue finisher with reset potential.Stormtide Leviathanutility$3.03Like Taniwha, this is a blue sea monster that dramatically constrains combat and board development. It doesn’t phase lands, but it creates a similar oppressive battlefield lock in blue.Slinn Voda, the Rising DeeputilityBudget$0.31A blue creature that returns opposing nonland permanents to hand and can create a huge tempo swing. It fills a similar role as a large blue creature that destabilizes the board.AetherizeutilityBudget$0.34This is a blue defensive tempo spell that can strand attackers and buy the same kind of time Taniwha’s weird board presence often does. It’s not land-based, but it serves as a disruptive blue stabilization tool.Engulf the ShoreutilityBudget$0.45A blue bounce spell that scales with Islands and often clears the board while preserving your own larger threats. It fits the same control/tempo slot as a blue creature-based stall piece.
