"Find me cards equivalent to: Jace's Scrutiny"

Equivalent cards to Jace's Scrutiny (Instant, blue, weakens a creature and gives a delayed card draw) include:

  • Drag Under — Draws a card and bounces a creature (blue, tempo & card draw, but sorcery, not instant).
  • Repulse — Instant, blue, bounces a creature and draws a card.
  • Exclusion Mage — Blue, bounces a creature (not instant, no draw).

However, Jace's Scrutiny itself is unique for combining -4/-0 and investigate at instant speed in mono-blue. Direct equivalents with both abilities at instant speed are rare in blue. Closest in spirit in blue is:

  • Whiplash Trap — Instant, blue, bounces two creatures (no draw).


Reason: Blue usually gains tempo and cards, but rarely gives debuff and clue token together at instant speed.

    Investigate

    Rules

  • Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.
  • If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.
  • 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 investigate.
  • You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.

    Rules

  • Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
  • Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
  • You can target any two creatures, not just ones that entered this turn.
  • You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
  • You must target two creatures as you cast Whiplash Trap. If you can't (because just one creature is on the battlefield, perhaps), you can't cast the spell.

    If an opponent had two or more creatures enter the battlefield under their control this turn, you may pay rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Return two target creatures to their owners' hands.
