Commit // Memoryremoval$0.34Commit can put any spell or nonland permanent on top of its owner's library, making it a very close functional match with extra flexibility. The aftermath half gives it additional utility beyond the source card's effect.Temporal Springremoval$0.11This is an even closer blue tempo answer: it puts any permanent on top of its owner's library at instant speed. It is stronger because it hits any permanent, not just nonland permanents.Unsummonremoval$0.16A cheaper blue instant that removes a creature by returning it to hand, serving a similar tempo role of clearing a threat temporarily. It is narrower than Totally Lost but is an efficient alternative.Vapor Snagremoval$0.26Another cheap tempo answer that bounces a creature and can also chip away at life total. It fills a similar role of disrupting an opposing threat at instant speed.Aetherizeremoval$0.34Instead of one permanent, it can clear all attacking creatures by returning them to owners' hands. It serves a similar defensive blue tempo role, though in a much broader combat-focused way.Aetherspoutsremoval$0.62This is a stronger, later-game defensive version that can put attacking creatures on top of their owners' libraries or on the bottom. It overlaps in using blue to neutralize threats by manipulating the library zone.Into the Roilremoval$0.17A flexible blue bounce spell that can target any nonland permanent and optionally be kicked for a card. It is cheaper and more versatile, but plays a similar tempo-control role.Cyclonic Riftremoval$29.83A premium upgrade for blue tempo, returning nonland permanents you don't control to owners' hands and often resetting the board. It is not the same effect, but it occupies the same functional space of blue permanent disruption.
