"Find me cards equivalent to: Scattering Stroke"

Equivalent cards to Scattering Stroke with type Instant and color U (blue), that counter spells and may give you some bonus:
1. Mana Drain – Counter target spell. At the beginning of your next main phase, add an amount of {C} equal to that spell's mana value.

Reason: Counters a spell and gives bonus mana like Scattering Stroke, but no clash.
2. Arcane Denial – Counter target spell. Its controller draws up to two cards. You draw a card.

Reason: Still a cheap instant counter with a different bonus effect (card draw).
3. Dissipate – Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner’s graveyard.

Reason: Instant speed counter with an additional effect, commonly compared to Scattering Stroke for blue control.

None of these use clash, but Mana Drain is closest for bonus mana.

    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.

    Counter target spell. Clash with an opponent. If you win, at the beginning of your next main phase, you may add an amount of equal to that spell's mana value. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on their choice of the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a greater mana value.)
