"Find me cards equivalent to: Nexus Mentality"

There are currently no existing cards exactly equivalent to Nexus Mentality. However, here are some blue (U) instant cards with similar counter-manipulation effects:

  • Reset (also instant, but untaps lands, not about counters)
  • Retract (returns artifacts to hand, not counters)
  • Quicksilver Motion (fan card, not official)

Closest existing blue instant:

  • Steady Progress (instant, Proliferate, draw a card; manipulates counters but doesn't move/remove)


Reason:
Blue instants that specifically move or remove counters are extremely rare. Steady Progress is the most similar due to its interaction with counters and instant speed. No current card exactly matches both options of Nexus Mentality.

    Rules

  • Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take any actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove your commander to change how many modes you may choose.
  • Once you've chosen both modes for the spell, it doesn't matter whether you continue to control a commander. This is true even if you somehow no longer control a commander as you finish casting the spell.
  • The commander you control doesn't have to be your commander.
  • There's no extra bonus if you control more than one commander.
  • To move a counter from one permanent to another, the counter is removed from the first permanent and put onto the second. Any abilities that care about a counter being removed from or placed on a permanent will apply.

    Choose one. If you control a commander as you cast this spell, you may choose both instead. • Move all counters from target nonland permanent you control onto another target nonland permanent you control. • Remove all counters from target nonland permanent you control. Draw a card for eachcounterremoved this way.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Proliferate

    Rules

  • This spell has no targets. You can cast it even if there are no players or permanents with counters on them. If you do, you'll simply draw a card as it resolves.
  • An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.
  • If a permanent ever has both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it at the same time, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.
  • If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
  • Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.
  • To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
  • You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
