"Find me cards equivalent to: Perplex"

Equivalent cards to Perplex (Instant, Blue-Black), that counter spells and relate to hand/discard or have Transmute, are:

  • Counterlash: Also a blue-black instant, it counters a spell and can let you cast a spell from your hand for free.
  • Psychic Strike: A blue-black instant; counters a spell and mills 2 instead of discard, but similar color and function.
  • Undermine: Blue-black instant; counters a spell and opponent loses 3 life.
  • Dimir Infiltrator: Also has Transmute for {1}{U}{B} and is blue-black, but is a creature, not instant, so not exact, but very close in transmute function.

Perplex is unique in being both a hard counter/unless discard, and with Transmute, but the above are closest blue-black instants that interact with countering and have similar utility.

  • You may target a spell that can’t be countered. When Psychic Strike resolves, the target spell will be unaffected, but its controller will still put the top two cards of their library into their graveyard.
