"Find me cards equivalent to: Deceive the Messenger"

Cards equivalent to Deceive the Messenger (U Instant, blue, shrink a creature and amass or generate token):
1. Kasmina's Transmutation (U Enchantment, blue, sets power to 1)
2. Witching Well (U Artifact, not instant, but blue, generates value)
3. Stymied Hopes (U Instant, blue, counter spell effects—similar disruption timing)
4. Unexplained Disappearance (1U Instant, blue, tempo + token, similar effect)


Reason: There are no other blue instants that both shrink a creature and Amass Orcs, but these match single effects or similar roles. Deceive the Messenger is unique in combining stat reduction with Amass in mono-blue.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Amass

    Rules

  • Amass Zombies works the same way, except you create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token if you don't control an Army. If the Army creature you chose isn't already a Zombie, it becomes a Zombie in addition to its other types. By combining cards with amass Orcs and amass Zombies, you can end up with an Orc Zombie Army.
  • Amass abilities are now written as "amass [subtype] N." Previous cards with amass have received errata to say "amass Zombies N."
  • If you don't control an Army, the Orc Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.
  • In the rare case that you control multiple Army creatures (perhaps because you played a creature with changeling) while you amass Orcs, you choose which of your Army creatures to put the +1/+1 counters on. If that creature isn't an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types.
  • Some cards refer to the "amassed Army." That means the Army creature you chose to receive counters, even if no counters were placed on it for some reason.
  • Some spells and abilities that amass Orcs 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 amass Orcs.
  • To amass Orcs N, if you don't control an Army creature, create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token. Then you choose an Army creature you control and put N +1/+1 counters on it. If that Army isn't already an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types.

    Enchant

    Rules

  • Effects that modify a creature's power and/or toughness, such as the effect of Bleeding Edge, will apply to the creature no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for any counters that change its power and/or toughness.
  • If the affected creature gains an ability after Kasmina's Transmutation becomes attached to it, it will keep that ability.
  • Kasmina's Transmutation overwrites all previous effects that set the creature's base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after Kasmina's Transmutation becomes attached to a creature will overwrite this effect.

  • When you scry, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards on the bottom of your library, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them on the bottom.
  • You choose how to order cards returned to your library after scrying no matter where you put them.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, that means you'll scry last. For others, that means you'll scry and then perform other actions.
