"Find me cards equivalent to: Bilbo's Gambit"

Closest equivalents to Bilbo's Gambit (white, instant, return spell, with added upside):
1. Remand – [Blue] Instantly returns a spell to its owner's hand and draws a card.
2. Memory Lapse – [Blue] Instantly puts a spell on top of its owner's library.
3. Mana Tithe – [White] Instantly counters a spell unless they pay
1. 4. Sheltering Light – [White] Gives indestructible, but doesn’t interact with spells on the stack.
5. Mana Drain – [Blue] Counters and gives you mana, but blue only.

Best in-color white comparable spells:

  • Lapse of Certainty – [White] Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard. Closest option in white, instant, similar function.

White rarely has pure spell interaction like Bilbo's Gambit, but Lapse of Certainty is the best match for a white spell-removing instant.

  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Mana Drain tries to resolve, Mana Drain doesn't resolve. You don't add mana at the beginning of your next main phase. If the target is legal but not countered (most likely because an effect says that the spell can't be countered), you do add mana.
  • Mana Drain's delayed triggered ability will usually trigger at the beginning of your precombat main phase. However, if you cast Mana Drain during your precombat main phase or during your combat phase, its delayed triggered ability will trigger at the beginning of that turn's postcombat main phase.
