"Find me cards equivalent to: Dispersal"

Cards similar to Dispersal (Instant, Blue/Black, bounce and discard):
1. Compulsive Research (Blue, Instant/Sorcery, draw then discard—affects controller, not opponents)
2. Far // Away (Away half: Blue/Black, Instant, target player sacrifices a creature—removal, not bounce+discard)
3. Soul Manipulation (Blue/Black, Instant, choose counter or reanimate—no bounce+discard combo)
4. Silumgar's Command (Blue/Black, Instant, many modes: one is return nonland permanent to hand, another is opponent discards a card—but not combined on a single mode)

Closest is still Dispersal; few others combine both bounce (opponents) AND discard on an instant in U/B. Most split this between two effects or modes.

    Fuse

    Rules

  • Away targets only a player. It doesn't target any creatures. The target player chooses which creature to sacrifice as the spell resolves.
  • If a player names a card, the player may name either half of a split card, but not both. A split card has the chosen name if one of its two names matches the chosen name.
  • If you cast a split card with fuse from your hand without paying its mana cost, you can choose to use its fuse ability and cast both halves without paying their mana costs.
  • If you're casting a split card with fuse from any zone other than your hand, you can't cast both halves. You'll only be able to cast one half or the other.
  • On the stack, a split spell that hasn't been fused has only that half's characteristics and mana value. The other half is treated as though it didn't exist.
  • Some split cards with fuse have two halves that are both multicolored. That card is multicolored no matter which half is cast, or if both halves are cast. It's also multicolored while not on the stack.
  • Some split cards with fuse have two monocolor halves of different colors. If such a card is cast as a fused split spell, the resulting spell is multicolored. If only one half is cast, the spell is the color of that half. While not on the stack, such a card is multicolored.
  • To cast a fused split spell, pay both of its mana costs. While the spell is on the stack, its mana value is the total amount of mana in both costs.
  • When a fused split spell resolves, follow the instructions of the left half first, then the instructions on the right half.
  • When resolving a fused split spell with multiple targets, treat it as you would any spell with multiple targets. If all targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve and none of its effects happen. If at least one target is still legal at that time, the spell resolves, but an illegal target can't perform any actions or have any actions performed on it.
  • You can choose the same object as the target of each half of a fused split spell, if appropriate.

    Rules

  • As the spell resolves, follow the instructions of the modes you chose in the order they are printed on the card. For example, if you chose the second and fourth modes of Ojutai’s Command, you would gain 4 life and then draw a card. (The order won’t matter in most cases.)
  • If a Command is copied, the effect that creates the copy will usually allow you to choose new targets for the copy, but you can’t choose new modes.
  • If all targets for the chosen modes become illegal before the Command resolves, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. If at least one target is still legal, the spell will resolve but will have no effect on any illegal targets.
  • You can choose a mode only if you can choose legal targets for that mode. Ignore the targeting requirements for modes that aren’t chosen. For example, you can cast Ojutai’s Command without targeting a creature spell provided you don’t choose the third mode.
  • You choose the two modes as you cast the spell. You must choose two different modes. Once modes are chosen, they can’t be changed.

  • You may choose just the first mode (targeting a creature spell), just the second mode (targeting a creature card in your graveyard), or both modes (targeting a creature spell and a creature card in your graveyard). You can’t choose a mode unless there’s a legal target for it.
