"Find me cards equivalent to: Absorb"

Equivalent cards to Absorb (Instant, UW, Counter + Gain Life):
1. Dovin's Veto (UW, Instant, Counter noncreature, can't be countered) - Similar, but no life gain.
2. Render Silent (WU, Instant, Counter spell, opponent can't cast spells this turn) - Same colors, extra effect, no life gain.
3. Summary Dismissal (2UU, Instant, Exile all spells and abilities) - More expensive, more powerful, blue only.
4. Rebuff the Wicked (W, Instant, Counter spell targeting a permanent you control) - Only white, not as flexible.

Closest: Absorb is unique for countering any spell and gaining 3 life, but Render Silent and Dovin's Veto are the most similar in colors and function.

  • If the permanent you control targeted by the target spell leaves the battlefield, that spell is no longer a legal target for Rebuff the Wicked. On the other hand, if that targeted permanent becomes an illegal target for the target spell but remains on the battlefield under your control, the target spell is still a legal target for Rebuff the Wicked.
  • Rebuff the Wicked can target a spell that has multiple targets, as long as at least one of those targets is a permanent you control.

    Rules

  • A spell that “can’t be countered” is a legal target for Render Silent. The spell won’t be countered when Render Silent resolves, but that spell’s controller won’t be able to cast spells for the rest of the turn.
  • If the spell is an illegal target when Render Silent tries to resolve (because it’s been countered by another spell, for example), Render Silent won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • Render Silent doesn’t stop any player from casting spells in response to Render Silent before it resolves.
  • The affected player can still activate abilities, including abilities of cards in their hand (such as bloodrush abilities), and the player can still play lands.
  • You must be able to target a spell to cast Render Silent.
