"Find me cards equivalent to: Council of the Absolute"

Equivalent cards to Council of the Absolute (U, W, Creature — Human Advisor):
1. Meddling Mage — Also U/W, Human Wizard, lets you name a card; opponents can’t cast the named card.
2. Lavina of the Tenth — U/W, not an Advisor, but detains nonland permanents your opponents control.
3. Spell Queller — U/W, Spirit, can exile a spell as it ETBs.

Closest in function and color is Meddling Mage.
Reason: It also locks out cards by name, though it doesn’t reduce your spell cost. Council of the Absolute is unique in its exact abilities.

    Rules

  • If a spell with the chosen name includes one generic mana in its cost to cast, that cost will be reduced by {1}.
  • If there are additional costs to cast the spell, such as kicker costs, apply those increases before applying cost reductions.
  • If you name half of a split card with fuse, and then you cast both halves, the cost reduction will apply to the total cost of the spell. This is true even if the half with the chosen name requires only colored mana to cast.
  • The last ability can reduce alternative costs such as overload costs.
  • The last ability can’t reduce the colored mana requirement of a spell.
  • You can name either half of a split card, but not both. If you name half of a split card, your opponents can cast the other half. If that split card has fuse, your opponents can’t cast that card as a fused split card.

    Rules

  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine if the spell’s mana value is 4 or less.
  • If Spell Queller leaves the battlefield before its “enters” ability resolves, its leaves-the-battlefield triggered ability triggers, resolves, and does nothing. Then its first triggered ability resolves and exiles the spell forever.
  • If a player casts a card “without paying its mana cost,” they can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs, such as emerge costs. The player can, however, pay additional costs, such as escalate costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the card.
  • If the card has {X} in its mana cost, the player must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If the exiled card’s owner casts it, the spell has no relation to the spell that player originally cast. Any choices made for the original spell or effects affecting the original spell aren’t carried over to the new one.
  • If the player casts the exiled card, they do so as part of the resolution of Spell Queller’s last ability. The player can’t wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing permissions based on the card’s type are ignored, but other restrictions (such as “Cast [this card] only during combat”) are not.
  • Spells that can’t be countered can be exiled by Spell Queller’s ability. They won’t resolve.
