"Find me cards equivalent to: Mesmeric Glare"

Equivalent cards to Mesmeric Glare (keeping blue, Instant, counter spell, mana value 3 or less):

  • Essence Scatter (U) — counters only a creature spell.
  • Spell Snare (U) — counters a spell with mana value
    2.
  • Mana Leak (1U) — counters unless they pay
    3.
  • Cerulean Wisps (U) — not a counterspell, so not equivalent.
  • Stubborn Denial (U) — counters a noncreature spell unless they pay
    1.

Closest direct equivalents:

  • Essence Capture (UU) — counters target creature spell.
  • Counterspell (UU) — counters any spell, but not mana value specific.

However, none are Instant — Adventure, and none use the adventure mechanic like Mesmeric Glare. Closest functional match: Spell Snare.

Reason: Same color; same or similar counter spell restriction.

  • An effect that changes a permanent’s colors overwrites all its old colors unless it specifically says “in addition to its other colors.” For example, after Cerulean Wisps resolves, the affected creature will just be blue. It doesn’t matter what colors it used to be (even if, for example, it used to be blue and black).
  • Changing a permanent’s color won’t change its text. If you turn Wilt-Leaf Liege blue, it will still affect green creatures and white creatures.
  • Colorless is not a color.

  • A creature spell that can't be countered is a legal target for Essence Capture. The spell won't be countered when Essence Capture resolves, but you'll still put a +1/+1 counter on the target creature.
  • You can't cast Essence Capture without a target creature spell. If either target is illegal when Essence Capture tries to resolve, the other is still affected as appropriate.

  • Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don’t use the word “instead” will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.
  • Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word “instead.” These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.
