"Find me cards equivalent to: Aether Meltdown"

Here are some equivalent blue Aura cards to Aether Meltdown that can flash in and reduce a creature's power:
1. Encrust
Type: Enchantment — Aura
Text: Enchant artifact or creature. Enchanted permanent doesn't untap during its controller's untap step and its activated abilities can't be activated.
(Note: Also provides control over the enchanted permanent.)
2. Frost Breath (not an Aura, but instant speed and similar effect)
Type: Instant
Text: Tap up to two target creatures. Those creatures don’t untap during their controller’s next untap step.
3. Narcolepsy
Type: Enchantment — Aura
Text: Enchant creature. At the beginning of each upkeep, tap enchanted creature.

Of these, Encrust is closest to Aether Meltdown in being a blue Aura that controls a creature's action. However, fewer blue Auras give a flat power reduction with flash like Aether Meltdown. Aether Meltdown is fairly unique in its combination of flash, energy, and power reduction.

    Rules

  • If the target creature or Vehicle becomes an illegal target while Aether Meltdown is on the stack, Aether Meltdown won't resolve. It won't enter the battlefield and you won't get {E}{E}.
  • Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
  • Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.
  • If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.
  • If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.
  • Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)
  • Some spells and abilities that give you {E} may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any {E}.
  • Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.
  • Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.
  • {E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

    Enchant

    Rules

  • Narcolepsy doesn’t keep the enchanted creature continually tapped. The creature untaps during its controller’s untap step as normal, then is tapped when Narcolepsy’s ability resolves during that upkeep. The creature may be tapped in response (for example, if it has an activated ability with {T} in its cost).
  • Narcolepsy’s triggered ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” That means (1) the ability triggers only if the enchanted creature is untapped as any player’s upkeep begins, and (2) the ability does nothing if the enchanted creature is already tapped by the time it resolves.
