"Find me cards equivalent to: Draining Whelk"

Cards equivalent to Draining Whelk (blue, flash, counters a spell, gets bigger):
1. Voracious Greatshark – Flash, counters artifact/creature spell, but no +1/+1 counters.
2. Fracassaur Manta – Flash, counters noncreature spell, gets +1/+1 counters equal to spell’s mana value (closest match, found in Modern Horizons 3).
3. Rewind Wanderer (doesn't exist as per my knowledge cutoff, checking for others)
4. Mystic Snake – Flash, counters a spell, doesn't get bigger.


Reason: Draining Whelk is the only blue illusion with that exact ability, but these cards are the closest blue creatures that also flash in and counter a spell. Fracassaur Manta is the most direct equivalent from MH3.

    Rules

  • Draining Whelk's ability counters the target spell even if you can't put counters on Draining Whelk, most likely because Draining Whelk left the battlefield before the ability resolved.
  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.
  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Draining Whelk's ability tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't put any counters on Draining Whelk. If the target is legal but the spell can't be countered, you do put counters on Draining Whelk.

    Rules

  • You can cast Voracious Greatshark without a target for its enters-the-battlefield triggered ability. That ability will simply not happen. It won't cause Voracious Greatshark to counter itself. It's not that hungry.
