"Find me cards equivalent to: Deny the Witch"

Equivalent cards to Deny the Witch (an instant, blue/black/white, counters a spell or ability, and penalizes life loss) include:
1. Render Silent (Instant, WU) – Counters a spell, but doesn't hit abilities or cause life loss.
2. Sinister Sabotage (Instant, U) – Counters a spell, but only spells, not abilities.
3. Summary Dismissal (Instant, UU) – Exiles all spells and abilities on the stack, but no life loss.
4. Void Shatter (Instant, UU) – Counters a spell, but not abilities, no life loss.
5. Absorb (Instant, WUU) – Counters a spell, but you gain life.
6. Soul Manipulation (Instant, UB) – Can counter a creature spell, but not abilities or other spells.

Closest match: Summary Dismissal hits both spells and abilities, but is missing the life loss effect. There’s no exact equivalent, but these cover similar counter zones in Esper (WUB) colors.

  • 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.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • A spell that can't be countered is a legal target for Sinister Sabotage. The spell won't be countered when Sinister Sabotage resolves, but you'll still surveil 1.
  • Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.
