"Find me cards equivalent to: Hornswoggle"

Equivalent cards to Hornswoggle in blue (U) with a similar function (countering creature spells) are:
1. Hornswoggle

  • Counters a creature spell, makes a Treasure.
    2. Essence Scatter
  • Counters a creature spell.
  • No Treasure, but fulfills the main counter function.
    3. Lookout's Dispersal
  • Counters a creature spell unless its controller pays 4 (if you control a Pirate).
  • Similar but conditional.
    4. Stubborn Denial
  • Counters noncreature unless controller pays 1, so not equivalent; showing why finding exact replacements is hard.

There are no other blue instants that counter only creatures and give Treasure tokens—the Treasure is unique to Hornswoggle. Essence Scatter is the closest in effect, minus the Treasure.
