"Find me cards equivalent to: Hindering Light"

Equivalent cards to Hindering Light (White-Blue instant, counterspell + cantrip):
1. Arcane Denial (Blue instant; counterspell, opponent draws, you draw)
2. Remand (Blue instant; counterspell, return to hand, you draw)
3. Render Silent (White-Blue instant; counters and opponent can't cast spells this turn)
4. Dovin's Veto (White-Blue instant; counters noncreature spells, can't be countered)
5. Sinister Sabotage (Blue instant; counterspell, surveil 1)


Reason: These cards are in similar colors and offer counterspell abilities with a bonus effect (draw or additional disruption). None are exact cantrip soft-counters for spells targeting you/perms, but are the closest equivalents in UW colors.
