"Find me cards equivalent to: Sudden Setback"

Equivalent cards to Sudden Setback (Instant, Blue, similar effect):
1. Commit (from Commit // Memory) — Puts target spell or nonland permanent into its owner's library second from the top.
2. Temporal Spring (Blue/Green) — Puts target permanent on top of its owner's library (not instant, but similar effect).
3. Echoing Truth — Returns any nonland permanent to its owner's hand (slightly different, but instant).
4. Voyage's End — Returns target creature to its owner's hand, then scry 1 (instant, blue, similar bounce effect).
5. Aether Gust — Puts target red or green spell or permanent on top/bottom (narrow, but matching choice mechanic).

Closest true equivalents:
Commit, Aether Gust, and Temporal Spring (though not all are mono-blue or instant; there’s no perfect mono-blue instant with exactly that effect).


Reason: These cards all manipulate opponents’ spells or permanents and their library, like Sudden Setback.

  • If a spell is put into its owner’s library, it’s removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn’t countered; it no longer exists. This works against a spell that can’t be countered.
  • The owner of the target spell or permanent chooses to put it either on the top or bottom of their library.

    Aftermath

    Rules

  • A spell with aftermath cast from a graveyard will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.
  • All split cards have two card faces on a single card, and you put a split card onto the stack with only the half you're casting. The characteristics of the half of the card you didn't cast are ignored while the spell is on the stack. For example, if an effect prevents you from casting green spells, you can cast Destined of Destined // Lead, but not Lead.
  • Each split card has two names. If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose one, but not both.
  • Each split card is a single card. For example, if you discard one, you've discarded one card, not two. If an effect counts the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard, Destined // Lead counts once, not twice.
  • If a copy of a spell or a token is put into its owner's library, it's moved there, then it will cease to exist as a state-based action.
  • If a spell is put into its owner's library, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works against a spell that can't be countered.
  • If another effect allows you to cast a split card with aftermath from a graveyard, you may cast either half. If you cast the half that has aftermath, you'll exile the card if it would leave the stack.
  • If another effect allows you to cast a split card with aftermath from any zone other than a graveyard, you can't cast the half with aftermath.
  • If the target's owner's library contains no cards, the target spell or permanent will be put into that player's library as the only card.
  • If you cast the first half of a split card with aftermath during your turn, you'll have priority immediately after it resolves. You can cast the half with aftermath from your graveyard before any player can take any other action if it's legal for you to do so.
  • Split cards with aftermath have a new frame treatment—the half you can cast from your hand is oriented the same as other cards you'd cast from your hand, while the half you can cast from your graveyard is a traditional split card half. This frame treatment is for your convenience and has no rules significance.
  • While not on the stack, the characteristics of a split card are the combination of its two halves. For example, Destined // Lead is a green and black card, it is both an instant card and a sorcery card, and its mana value is 6. This means that if an effect allows you to cast a card with mana value 2 from your hand, you can't cast Destined. This is a change from the previous rules for split cards.
  • Once you've started to cast a spell with aftermath from your graveyard, the card is immediately moved to the stack. Opponents can't try to stop the ability by exiling the card with an effect such as that of Crook of Condemnation.

    Scry

    Rules

  • Scry appears on some spells and abilities with one or more targets. If all of the spell or ability's targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't scry.
  • When you scry, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards on the bottom of your library, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them on the bottom.
  • You choose how to order cards returned to your library after scrying no matter where you put them.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, that means you'll scry last. For others, that means you'll scry and then perform other actions.
