4 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Desertion

Equivalent cards to Desertion (blue, counterspell + steal effect):
1. Spelljack — Counters a spell and lets you cast it.
2. Draining Whelk — Counters a spell and gets +1/+1 counters.
3. Dream Fracture — Counters a spell, everyone draws a card.


Reason: These all are blue counterspells with added value, though Desertion specifically steals creatures or artifacts. No other blue counter does exactly this, but these are the closest in color/effect.

    Rules

  • If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets can't be countered), then this card's ability does not put the card onto the battlefield. The spell continues to resolve as normal.
  • The card is put onto the battlefield, but any effects that check if the original card was "cast from your hand" will not trigger or otherwise consider the card to have been cast from your hand. The card was put onto the battlefield by the effect of Desertion instead.
  • This spell includes a replacement effect. If the target is an artifact or creature spell, it never goes to the graveyard.

    Flash Flying

    Rules

  • Draining Whelk's ability counters the target spell even if you can't put counters on Draining Whelk, most likely because Draining Whelk left the battlefield before the ability resolved.
  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.
  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Draining Whelk's ability tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't put any counters on Draining Whelk. If the target is legal but the spell can't be countered, you do put counters on Draining Whelk.

  • If you cast an instant or sorcery, it goes to its owner’s graveyard when it resolves.
  • This spell can be used on a spell cast using Flashback.
  • If you use this on an opponent’s spell which has Buyback, you may pay the Buyback cost as you cast it. If you do so, the card will go to its owner’s hand upon resolution. It will not go to your hand, nor to any player’s graveyard.

    Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard. You may play it without paying its mana cost for as long as it remains exiled. (If it has X in its mana cost, X is 0.)
