"Find me cards equivalent to: Spell Swindle"

Here are cards similar to Spell Swindle (same: Instant, color: U, counter spell, treasure or mana generation):
1. Rewind — Counter target spell, untap up to four lands.
Reason: Counter and refund mana, though with untapped lands.
2. Arcane Denial — Counter, draws both players cards (not mana, but similar vanilla counter/upside).
3. Saw It Coming — Counter spell, has Fortell option.
Reason: Flexible Instant counter in blue.

There are no other blue instants that both counter a spell and create Treasures like Spell Swindle. Rewind is the closest in terms of resource refund.

    Rules

  • If the spell is an illegal target when Rewind tries to resolve, perhaps because it was countered by another spell or ability, Rewind won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't untap any lands.
  • Rewind targets only a spell. It doesn't target any lands. The lands are chosen as Rewind resolves.
  • You can choose up to four lands, no matter who controls any of them. Those lands untap once. You can't choose one land and have it untap four times, for example.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Foretell

    Rules

  • Because exiling a card with foretell from your hand is a special action, you can do so any time you have priority during your turn, including in response to spells and abilities. Once you announce you’re taking the action, no other player can respond by trying to remove the card from your hand.
  • Casting a foretold card from exile follows the timing rules for that card. If you foretell an instant card, you can cast it as soon as the next player’s turn. In most cases, if you foretell a card that isn’t an instant (or doesn’t have flash), you’ll have to wait until your next turn to cast it.
  • If you’re casting a foretold card from exile for its foretell cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
