Which of these fictional Disrupt trading cards do you think is the most... disruptive?

I need a ground to compare it to so I imagine these as magic the gathering counter spells. And I read the "5MM" as costs.

• Time drain can easily be the most disruptive for the opponent if you can play it without costing you a complete turn.
• Soul exchange is nearly free as one life is not much at all for playing a nearly free counterspell.
• Suggestion gives the opponent too much and Mind blank does exists for one cost more in magic as far as I know. (it does need to be a specific card though).
• Time reverse has close to no pay out. One card vs. a complete turn is a huge loss for you, no win at all.
• Crystalize is great as it is free as long as you can pay it in the first place.

I think it is either Time drain or crystalize. Time drain if you can pay the cost, without that being all you can do and crystalize as its a free one for one card.

Thanks for the input, but allow me to explain you are thinking about the "free/alternate cost" spells incorrectly.

I've play-tested these cards, and Time Reverse is a BEAST. It would definitely be played in Vintage and Commander and Modern Masters if it was legal in those formats. Losing a turn is no big deal to stop your opponent from auto-winning on turn 1 or 2 if they hit their best opener. Suggestion and Mind Blank seem to also always be worth it, again saving yourself from an auto-loss is worth a one card detrimental cost. I've had a deck in Commander with a nearly guaranteed turn 2 win and a guaranteed turn 3 win, and so I know first hand that there aren't enough "free" counters available in Commander. I ran 13 counters, 13 mana rocks, and 13 tutors in my Deck.

Time Drain is the most powerful, but it costs 7 energy, which means you basically had to skip spending energy on your turn to use it.
