AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Familiar's Ruse

Equivalent cards to Familiar's Ruse (Blue, counterspell, require bouncing creature):
1. Mana Drain — Same color and counter effect, but ramps instead of bouncing.
2. Remand — Counters unless pay, returns spell instead of creature.
3. Deprive — Blue, instant, counterspell, but returns land instead of a creature.
4. Snap — Blue, instant, returns creature to owner's hand and untaps lands (not a counterspell).
5. Hide Away — Closest true analog is Deprive for the return-to-hand part, though no other blue counterspell specifically bounces a creature as an additional cost.


Reason: Familiar's Ruse is quite unique; Deprive is the closest blue counterspell analog, but returns a land, not a creature. No other card does exactly what Familiar's Ruse does.

    Rules

  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Mana Drain tries to resolve, Mana Drain doesn't resolve. You don't add mana at the beginning of your next main phase. If the target is legal but not countered (most likely because an effect says that the spell can't be countered), you do add mana.
  • Mana Drain's delayed triggered ability will usually trigger at the beginning of your precombat main phase. However, if you cast Mana Drain during your precombat main phase or during your combat phase, its delayed triggered ability will trigger at the beginning of that turn's postcombat main phase.
