Misdirectionprotection$28.45This is one of the closest functional equivalents, redirecting a spell with a single target to a new target. It is stronger in many cases because it works from hand without needing a creature setup.Deflecting Swatprotection$68.48A premier spell redirection effect for commanders and creature-based decks, often changing the target of a spell or ability for no mana. It plays the same protective role as Willbender but is much more efficient.Swan Songprotection$10.41A cheap blue interaction spell that protects you by countering key spells before they resolve. It is not a redirect effect, but serves the same defensive slot in many blue decks.Miscastprotection$6.32Like Willbender, it is a low-cost piece of blue interaction that disrupts targeted noncreature spells. It fills the role of protecting your board or combo at very low mana investment.Spellskiteprotection$11.26This is a classic target-changing protection card, able to redirect many spells and abilities away from your key permanents. It is broader in application than Willbender for repeated use.Rerouteprotection$0.23A direct target-changing spell that can retarget a spell or ability with a single target. It is very close in gameplay pattern to Willbender's face-up trigger.Shuntprotection$0.78This can change the target of a spell or ability with a single target, matching Willbender's core function. It is more expensive, but it works as a straightforward instant-speed answer.Redirectprotection$0.30Another direct analogue that changes the target of a spell with a single target, making it a clean spell-based version of Willbender's effect. It is efficient and easy to hold up in blue control decks.
