"Find me cards equivalent to: Bane's Contingency"

Equivalent cards to Bane's Contingency (Instant, Blue, counters spells) include:
1. Counterspell – Counter target spell.
Reason: Basic blue counter, instant.
2. Arcane Denial – Counter target spell, then both players draw.
Reason: Instant, blue, counter.
3. Negate – Counter target noncreature spell.
Reason: Blue, instant, narrow counter.
4. Mana Drain – Counter target spell, gain mana.
Reason: Blue, instant, powerful counter.
5. Unwind – Counter target noncreature spell, untap lands.

  • A "commander you control" means a permanent on the battlefield that is a commander and is under your control. It can be your commander or one owned by another player. It doesn't refer to your commander in any other zone. Notably, if a player uses Bane's Contingency to counter a spell that would counter their commander, they do not scry or draw a card.

    Rules

  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Mana Drain tries to resolve, Mana Drain doesn't resolve. You don't add mana at the beginning of your next main phase. If the target is legal but not countered (most likely because an effect says that the spell can't be countered), you do add mana.
  • Mana Drain's delayed triggered ability will usually trigger at the beginning of your precombat main phase. However, if you cast Mana Drain during your precombat main phase or during your combat phase, its delayed triggered ability will trigger at the beginning of that turn's postcombat main phase.
