"Find me cards equivalent to: Lose Focus"

Equivalent cards to Lose Focus (Instant, Blue, counters unless {2}, has replicate):
1. Mana Leak — Instant, U: Counter target spell unless its controller pays {3}.

Reason: Similar counter ability, also U instant.
2. Miscalculation — Instant, U: Counter target spell unless its controller pays {2}. Cycling {2}.

Reason: Same mana tax, similar speed, U instant.
3. Memory Lapse — Instant, U: Counter target spell. Put it on top of its owner's library instead of the graveyard.

Reason: U instant, soft counter that delays like Lose Focus.

    Cycling

    Rules

  • The cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. If the triggered ability doesn't resolve (because, for example, it has been countered, or all of its targets have become illegal), the cycling ability will still resolve, and you'll draw a card.
  • When you cycle this card, first the cycling ability goes on the stack, then the triggered ability goes on the stack on top of it. The triggered ability will resolve before you draw a card from the cycling ability.
  • You can cycle this card even if there are no legal targets for the triggered ability.

    Replicate

    Rules

  • As the replicate triggered ability resolves, you'll copy Lose Focus for each time you paid its replicate cost, even if the original spell is no longer on the stack at that time (perhaps because it was countered).
  • The copies that replicate creates are created on the stack, so they're not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
