"Find me cards equivalent to: Deceive the Messenger"

Cards equivalent to Deceive the Messenger (blue, instant, debuff, and produces a token or counter):
1. Deceive the Messenger itself – blue, instant, -3/-0, and Amass Orcs
1. 2. Kasmina's Transmutation (enchantment, not instant, blue, debuff, turns creature into a 1/1 but not instant).
3. Hydrosurge – blue, instant, -5/-0 (no Amass effect).
4. Twitch – blue, instant, draws a card and untaps a creature, close in utility.
5. Unwind – blue, instant, counterspell and untap lands (not debuff).

Closest: Deceive the Messenger is quite unique due to the Amass mechanic on an instant, but Hydrosurge is the closest debuff comparison. There are no other blue instants that Amass or put counters/token while debuffing.

    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.
