Bounce

Tempo-style answers that return opposing permanents from the battlefield to their owners' hands, forcing the opponent to recast them. Covers single-target bounce like Unsummon and Into the Roil, chainable effects like Chain of Vapor, and mass bounce like Evacuation, Devastation Tide, and Cyclonic Rift's overload. Distinct from removal.spot_removal and removal.board_wipe, which permanently destroy or exile rather than recycle threats; the bounced permanent goes back to hand and can be replayed. Also separate from flicker effects, which return your own permanents and belong elsewhere, and from counterspells, which act on the stack rather than the battlefield.
