"Find me cards equivalent to: Obscura Interceptor"

Equivalent cards to Obscura Interceptor in Esper colors (B, U, W) with similar attributes (flash, lifelink, enter the battlefield effect, and/or spell interaction) are:
1. Venser, Shaper Savant – Flash, returns a spell or permanent to its owner's hand on ETB.
Reason: Similar flash + spell interaction.
2. Reflector Mage – Returns a creature to hand on ETB.
Reason: Similar ETB bounce, but only creatures.
3. Dream Eater – Flash, surveil 4, returns nonland permanent to hand on ETB.
Reason: Flash + bounce on ETB, but not a lifelink.
4. Aether Adept (Mono-blue but fits the theme) – Returns creature to hand on ETB.
Reason: ETB bounce.

Obscura Interceptor remains unique in having connive, lifelink, and direct spell interaction, but these cards mirror some aspects in the Esper color identity.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flash Flying Surveil

    Rules

  • Dream Eater's reflexive triggered ability triggers even if you have fewer than four cards in your library to surveil.
  • Dream Eater's triggered ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, after you've surveilled, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target nonland permanent to be returned to its owner's hand. This is different from effects that say "If you do . . ." in that you choose the target after having surveilled.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

    Flash Flying When this creature enters, surveil 4. When you do, you may return target nonland permanent an opponent controls to its owner's hand. (To surveil 4, look at the top four cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

    Connive Flash Lifelink

    Rules

  • If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to connive but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still connives. Abilities that trigger “when [that creature] connives,” such as that of Obscura Interceptor, will trigger.
  • If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to connive but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still connives. If you discard a nonland card this way, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything. Abilities that trigger “when [that creature] connives” will trigger.
  • If no card is discarded, most likely because that player's hand is empty and an effect says they can't draw cards, the conniving creature does not receive a +1/+1 counter.
  • Once an ability that causes a creature to connive begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the conniving creature after you discard a nonland card but before it receives a counter.

    Rules

  • If the returned creature had no name while it was on the battlefield (likely because the creature was face down), its owner can still cast face-down creature spells with morph or megamorph, or cast the same card face up, before your next turn.
  • In several cases, the name of the creature that was returned won’t match the name of that card once it’s back in its owner’s hand. For example, if the card was copying another creature, it will probably have a different name in its owner’s hand and can be cast again before your next turn. The same is true if a double-faced card with its back face up is returned to its owner’s hand this way.
  • Reflector Mage’s ability doesn’t stop any player from playing lands (in the case that the returned creature was also a land).

    Flash

    Rules

  • If Venser's triggered ability targets a spell cast with flashback, that spell will be exiled instead of returning to its owner's hand.
  • If a copy of a spell is returned to its owner's hand, it's moved there, then it will cease to exist as a state-based action. It can't be recast.
  • If a spell is returned to its owner's hand, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works against a spell that can't be countered.
