"Find me cards equivalent to: Surprise Deployment"

Equivalent cards to Surprise Deployment (Instant, White, similar effect):
1. Deflecting Palm (Instant, W/R) – Not directly equivalent but is a white instant for combat response.
2. Ephemerate (Instant, W) – Flickers a creature, but doesn’t cheat from hand.
3. Reprieve (Instant, W) – Returns a spell to hand (White instant, but different effect).

Closest: There is currently no exact white instant that cheats a nonwhite creature from hand to battlefield and returns it at end step like Surprise Deployment.

Reason: Most white effects don’t cheat creatures from hand to play—they focus on flicker or blink effects.

All the cards above are white or at least part white and instant, matching Surprise Deployment.

    The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. If damage is prevented this way, Deflecting Palm deals that much damage to that source's controller.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rebound

    Rules

  • Casting the card again due to rebound's delayed triggered ability is optional. If you choose not to cast the card, or if you can't (perhaps because there are no legal targets available), the card will stay exiled. You won't get another chance to cast it on a future turn. If you do cast the card, it's put into its owner's graveyard as normal once it resolves.
  • If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand is countered or doesn't resolve (most likely because its targets have become illegal), none of its effects will happen, including rebound. The spell will be put into its owner's graveyard and you won't get to cast it again on your next turn.
  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
  • Once the exiled creature returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.
