"Find me cards equivalent to: Spell Blast"

Equivalent cards to Spell Blast (instant, blue, with variable counter ability):
1. Spell Burst
Can counter a spell with mana value X, also has buyback.
2. Condescend
Counters a spell unless its controller pays X, and has scry, but not a strict 'counter unless equals X'.
3. Mana Drain
Counters any spell, no X mana restriction, but blue and instant.

Closest direct equivalents are Spell Burst and Condescend, but no other instant exactly matches Spell Blast using an X value for countering.

    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.

    Rules

  • Alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, and cost reductions don't affect a spell's mana value.
  • If the target spell has {X} in its mana cost, include the value chosen for that X when determining the value of the {X} in Spell Blast's mana cost. For example, if you wish to counter Volcanic Geyser (a spell with mana cost {X}{R}{R}) whose X is 7, you'll need to choose 9 for Spell Blast's X and pay {9}{U}.
