"Find me cards equivalent to: Spell Swindle"

Cards equivalent to Spell Swindle (Blue, Instant, counterspell effect, produces mana/artifacts):

  • Saw It Coming — Instant, counters a spell, but does not generate treasure.
  • Cryptic Command — Instant, can counter a spell and has flexible effects (not treasure).
  • Rewind — Instant, counters a spell and untaps lands for mana acceleration (no treasures).
  • Decisive Denial (if hybrid allowed, otherwise not mono-U).

Closest in effect is Spell Swindle itself. No other mono-blue instant directly makes treasures from countering. Rewind is functionally most similar.

  • Look at both chosen modes to determine how many targets Cryptic Command has, if any. If it has at least one target, and all its targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, then it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. For example, if you choose the second and fourth modes, and the permanent is an illegal target when Cryptic Command tries to resolve, you won’t draw a card.
  • You choose both modes as you cast Cryptic Command. You must choose two different modes.

  • 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.

    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.
