5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Snaremaster Sprite

Equivalent cards to Snaremaster Sprite (blue creatures that counter spells and cost 2 mana):
1. Mystic Snake – counters a spell when it enters the battlefield.
2. Exclude – not a creature, but a blue counterspell attached to card draw for comparison.
3. Essence Flux – only similar in interaction with flying but not a counter.
4. Closest true equivalent in Standard is: Disdainful Stroke (not a creature).


Reason: Snaremaster Sprite is unique in being a 2-mana flying creature that can counter a spell, but Mystic Snake is a well-known creature version of a counterspell in blue. There’s rarely an exact equivalent at 2 mana in blue.

    Flying

    Rules

  • You don't choose a target for Snaremaster Sprite's ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you pay {2} this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
  • You may target a creature that is already tapped with the reflexive triggered ability. If the target creature is already tapped as the ability resolves, you will still put a stun counter on it.
