"Find me cards equivalent to: Undermine"

Equivalent cards (same colors, type, and similar effect):

  • Undermine (original): Counter target spell. Its controller loses 3 life.
  • Recoil: Instant, UB, returns target permanent to hand, but not a counterspell.
  • Counterflux: Instant, UUR, counter abilities but not life loss, not UB.
  • Sinister Sabotage: Instant, 1UU, strictly blue.

There are no direct UB/Instant equivalents to Undermine (counter spell and controller loses life). Undermine is the only card with all your requested attributes and effect.

Closest: Soul Manipulation (UB, Instant) can counter a creature spell and/or return a creature card but does not cause life loss.

Summary: Undermine is unique for UB counter/life loss in instant form. Other UB instants with counter effects lack the life loss.

    Overload

    Rules

  • Because a spell with overload doesn't target when its overload cost is paid, it may affect permanents with hexproof or with protection from the appropriate color.
  • If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.
  • If you don't pay the overload cost of a spell with overload, that spell will have a single target. If you pay the overload cost, the spell won't have any targets.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an overload cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • A spell that can't be countered is a legal target for Sinister Sabotage. The spell won't be countered when Sinister Sabotage resolves, but you'll still surveil 1.
  • Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. 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 surveil.
  • 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.

  • You may choose just the first mode (targeting a creature spell), just the second mode (targeting a creature card in your graveyard), or both modes (targeting a creature spell and a creature card in your graveyard). You can’t choose a mode unless there’s a legal target for it.
