"Find me cards equivalent to: Absorb Identity"

Cards similar to Absorb Identity (type: Instant, color: U, text: Return target creature to its owner's hand...) are:
1. Unsummon

  • Instant, U
  • Text: Return target creature to its owner's hand.

  • Reason: Same speed, same effect minus the Shapeshifter copying.
    2. Into the Roil
  • Instant, 1U
  • Text: Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand. If kicked, draw a card.

  • Reason: Instant, blue, bounce effect, broader target, possible draw.
    3. Vapor Snag
  • Instant, U
  • Text: Return target creature to its owner's hand. Its controller loses 1 life.

  • Reason: Close one-mana version, but it adds a life loss.

None have the Shapeshifter-copying effect; that's unique to Absorb Identity. All are blue instants that return creatures.

    Rules

  • Either all Shapeshifters you control will become copies of the creature or none of them will.
  • If Shapeshifters you control do become copies of the creature, they'll use the copiable values of the creature as it last existed on the battlefield. They don't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it, whether it had any Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • If the creature that was returned was copying something else, the Shapeshifters that become copies of that creature will use the copiable values of that creature. In most cases, they will be copies of whatever that creature was copying. If it was copying a permanent or card with {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target as Absorb Identity tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. Shapeshifters you control won't become copies of the creature.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If the targeted permanent is an illegal target by the time Into the Roil resolves, the entire spell doesn't resolve. You don't draw a card.
  • If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target by the time Into the Roil tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't draw a card if it was kicked.
  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
