"Find me cards equivalent to: Confound"

Here are cards similar to Confound (blue instants that counter spells targeting creatures and may draw cards):
1. Misdirection – Instantly changes the target of a spell with a single target.
2. Tail Swipe – Not quite a counter, but interacts with targeting.
3. Disdainful Stroke – Counters a specific subset, but not spells specifically targeting creatures.
4. Turn Aside – Counters target spell that targets a permanent you control. (Closest functional match, blue, instant.)
5. Counterspell – Counters any spell, but doesn’t draw a card.
6. Arcane Denial – Counters any spell, draws cards for both players.

Confound is unique in both countering spells that target creatures specifically and drawing a card, but Turn Aside is the closest color- and type-match.

  • Confound doesn’t resolve if the targeted spell has been countered or does not still target one or more permanents that are still creatures and are still on the battlefield. Confound is different from other such spells in that it actually specifies that the spell must target a creature, not just be able to target a creature or that the spell has a certain number of targets.

    Rules

  • If there is no other legal target for the spell, this does not change the target.
  • Once the spell resolves, the new target is considered to be targeted by the deflected spell. This will trigger any effects which trigger on being targeted.
  • The target of a spell that targets another spell on the stack can be changed to any other spell on the stack, even if the new target will resolve before the spell does.
  • This does not check if the current target is legal. It just checks if the spell has a single target.
  • This only targets the spell being changed, not the original or new target of the spell it is affecting.
  • You can choose to make a spell on the stack target this spell (if such a target choice would be legal had the spell been cast while this spell was on the stack). The new target for the deflected spell is not chosen until this spell resolves. This spell is still on the stack when new targets are selected for the spell.
  • You can’t make a spell which is on the stack target itself.
  • You choose the spell to target on announcement, but you pick the new target for that spell on resolution.
