"Find me cards equivalent to: Mages' Contest"

Equivalent cards to Mages' Contest (type: Instant, color: Red):

  • Pyroblast: Can counter a blue spell, instant, red.
  • Red Elemental Blast: Same as above, instant, red.
  • Active Volcano: Counters blue spells, instant, red.
  • Mages' Contest (included as requested).


Reason: True equivalents in red that counter any spell are rare; most red instants counter only blue spells. No other red instant has a bidding mechanic to counter spells.

  • The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before the target is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode can't be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid.
  • Pyroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a blue one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.
