AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Desertion

Cards equivalent to Desertion (blue counterspell + theft):
1. Spelljack – Counters a spell, lets you cast it.
2. Plagiarize – Temporarily steals draws, but not the card itself.
3. Domineering Will – Steals creatures, but not via counterspell.

Closest direct alternative is Spelljack. Both are blue and counter + cast/copy the card.

    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.

    Counter target spell. If an artifact or creature spell is countered this way, put that card onto the battlefield under your control instead of into its owner's graveyard.

    Rules

  • Each of those creatures blocks only if it's able to do so as the declare blockers step begins. If, at that time, one of the creatures is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't block, or no creatures are attacking that creature's controller or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn't block. If there's a cost associated with having the creature block, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't block in that case either.
  • Notably, Domineering Will doesn't give any of the target creatures haste. Unless they have haste due to some other means, they won't be able to attack that turn.
  • The controller of the creatures still chooses which attacking creature each of the three target creatures blocks.

    Rules

  • If you target yourself, this spell has no useful effect. It will not cause an infinite loop since a replacement effect can’t modify the same event more than once. This effect will not modify the draw that it has you perform.
  • If you and your opponent each cast Plagiarize on each other during the same turn, the two spells effectively cancel each other out. You will draw cards when you normally would and so will your opponent.
  • If you target a player whose library is empty, any effect or turn-based action that would cause that player to draw a card will cause you to draw a card instead. It doesn’t matter that the other player would be unable to draw.
  • You draw the card from your library as normal, not from your opponent’s library.

    Until end of turn, if target player would draw a card, instead that player skips that draw and you draw a card.

    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.)
