"Find me cards equivalent to: Mana Drain"

Closest equivalents to Mana Drain (type: Instant, color: U):
1. Counterspell — Counter target spell. (No mana gain)
2. Ionize — Counter target spell, deals 2 damage to controller. (No mana gain, adds red)
3. Arcane Denial — Easier to cast, draws cards instead.
4. Swan Song — Cheaper, but gives a 2/2 token instead of mana.
5. Rewind — Counters a spell and untaps lands (can effectively ramp mana, but not the same way)
6. Mana Drain — Only this card directly provides colorless mana equal to the countered spell.


Reason: No blue instant exactly duplicates Mana Drain's mana ramp effect; only Mana Drain does that. Other counters have different secondary effects.

    Rules

  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Mana Drain tries to resolve, Mana Drain doesn't resolve. You don't add mana at the beginning of your next main phase. If the target is legal but not countered (most likely because an effect says that the spell can't be countered), you do add mana.
  • Mana Drain's delayed triggered ability will usually trigger at the beginning of your precombat main phase. However, if you cast Mana Drain during your precombat main phase or during your combat phase, its delayed triggered ability will trigger at the beginning of that turn's postcombat main phase.
