"Find me cards equivalent to: Syphon Essence"

Equivalent cards to Syphon Essence (blue instant, counters creature/planeswalker spells, gives a bonus):

  • Essence Scatter — type='Instant', color='U', counters a creature spell.
  • Didn't Say Please — counters any spell, mills cards, but not exactly planeswalker/creature only.
  • Aetherize — interacts with creatures, but bounces, not counters.

Closest is Essence Scatter; all others either don’t make tokens or don’t counter the right types. No direct blue instant alternative with both a creature/planeswalker counter and a Blood token effect exists.

  • An "attacking creature" is one that has been declared as an attacker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield attacking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game, or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat. There's no such thing as an attacking creature outside of the combat phase.

    Rules

  • If an effect refers to a Blood token, it means any artifact token with the subtype Blood, even if it has gained other subtypes.
  • Some spells that instruct you to create a Blood token require targets. You can't cast these spells without choosing all required targets, and if all of those targets become illegal targets, the spell won't resolve and you won't create any Blood tokens. If some but not all of those targets become illegal, you'll do as much as possible, including creating Blood tokens.
  • Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.
  • You can't sacrifice a Blood token to pay multiple costs.
