"Find me cards equivalent to: Suffocation"

Equivalent cards in blue (U) instant form that trigger off red spells or deal with spell damage are rare. Closest options:

  • Flash Counter — Also reacts to an instant, but counters it instead of dealing damage.
  • Blue Elemental Blast — Instantly counters a red spell or destroys a red permanent.
  • Hydroblast — Similar to Blue Elemental Blast but more versatile.

Original for context:

  • Suffocation

Note: None deal direct damage back or require you to be dealt damage by red instants/sorceries, as that’s uniquely specific. Blue typically counters or prevents spells, not retaliates with damage.

    Cast this spell only if you were dealt damage this turn by a red instant or sorcery spell. Suffocation deals 4 damage to the controller of the last red instant or sorcery spell that dealt damage to you this turn. Draw a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep.
