"Find me cards equivalent to: Startle"

Equivalent or similar U (blue) instants to Startle that reduce power and cantrip (draw a card):
1. Whiplash Trap — Instantly bounces two creatures (not power reduction, but similar tempo trade).
2. Frost Breath — Taps and freezes, but no card draw or token.
3. Repulse — Returns creature and draws a card, but no power reduction or token.
4. Twitch — Taps/untaps and draws, closest in card flow.

None are exact matches, since Startle combines power reduction, a cantrip, and token generation. Closest is Twitch for cantrip and interaction. Blue rarely creates tokens with instants.

    Rules

  • Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.
  • Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.
  • Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."
  • Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.

    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.
