"Find me cards equivalent to: Paradoxical Outcome"

Cards equivalent to Paradoxical Outcome (Instant, blue, bounce and draw effect):
1. Devastation Tide (not an instant, but mass bounce; doesn't draw)
2. Cyclonic Rift (instant, bounce, not draw, can hit all opponents’ nonland permanents)
3. Flood of Tears (sorcery, returns all nonland permanents and lets you put one from hand to battlefield)
4. Displacement Wave (sorcery, returns nonland permanents with CMC X or less)
5. Snap (instant, bounce one creature, untap two lands)

Closest is Paradoxical Outcome itself; no other blue instant does the same mass-bounce+draw for any number of your own nonland, nontoken permanents. The draw-for-each-permanent-returned is unique.


Reason: Bounce-and-draw on this scale at instant speed is mostly unique to Paradoxical Outcome. Others only partially overlap in effect.

    Overload

    Rules

  • Because a spell with overload doesn't target when its overload cost is paid, it may affect permanents with hexproof or with protection from the appropriate color.
  • If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.
  • If you don't pay the overload cost of a spell with overload, that spell will have a single target. If you pay the overload cost, the spell won't have any targets.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an overload cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Miracle

    Rules

  • If an effect puts a card into your hand without using the word "draw," the card wasn't drawn.
  • If the card with miracle leaves your hand before the triggered ability resolves, you won't be able to cast it using its miracle ability.
  • It's important to reveal a card with miracle before it is mixed with the other cards in your hand.
  • Miracle is an alternative cost to cast the spell with miracle. It can't be combined with other alternative costs, such as casting a spell "without paying its mana cost."
  • Multiple card draws are always treated as a sequence of individual card draws. For example, if you haven't drawn any cards yet during a turn and cast a spell that instructs you to draw three cards, you'll draw them one at a time. Only the first card drawn this way may be revealed and cast using its miracle ability.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a miracle cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
  • You can cast a card for its miracle cost only as the miracle triggered ability resolves. If you don't want to cast it at that time (or you can't cast it, perhaps because there are no legal targets available), you won't be able to cast it later for the miracle cost.
  • You can reveal and cast a card with miracle on any turn, not just your own, if it's the first card you've drawn that turn.
  • You cast the card with miracle during the resolution of the triggered ability. Ignore any timing rules based on the card's type.
  • You don't have to reveal a drawn card with miracle if you don't wish to cast it at that time.
  • You still draw the card, whether you use the miracle ability or not. Any ability that triggers whenever you draw a card, for example, will trigger. If you don't cast the card using its miracle ability, it will remain in your hand.

    Rules

  • Any abilities that trigger as the nonland permanents are returned are put onto the stack at the same time as any abilities that trigger as the permanent card is put onto the battlefield (if applicable).
  • If a permanent would be returned to your hand but ends up in another zone (most likely because an effect exiled it instead or because it's a player's commander in the Commander variant) Flood of Tears counts it when determining whether four or more of your nontoken permanents were returned.
  • If you return four or more nontoken permanents, the permanent card you put onto the battlefield may be one of the cards returned to your hand this way.
