"Find me cards equivalent to: Nix"

Equivalent cards to Nix (instant, countering a spell with no mana spent):
1. Turn Aside (counters spells that target a permanent you control)
2. Dispel (counters only instant spells)
3. Curtain's Call (unconditional counterspells for cheap)
4. Annul (counters artifact or enchantment spells)
5. Stubborn Denial (counters noncreature unless controller pays 1, potential hard counter)

All these are blue, like Nix, and are conditional, cheap counterspells. None are an exact match, since Nix uniquely cares about mana not spent to cast the spell.

    Rules

  • Nix can target any spell. The condition is checked only on resolution.
  • Nix checks whether any player paid mana to cast the spell, not whether its current controller did. If Commandeer is cast on a spell, then Nix is cast on that spell, Nix won’t counter it unless the player who originally cast that spell spent no mana to cast it.
  • Nix doesn’t check whether a spell’s mana cost is 0. Rather, it checks how much mana was actually spent to cast it. It can counter a spell with mana cost 0 (such as Slaughter Pact), a spell cast via an alternative nonmana cost (such as Allosaurus Rider) or alternative cost of {0} (such as Basking Rootwalla), a spell whose cost to cast it was reduced to 0 (such as Frogmite), a spell cast without paying its cost due to an effect (such as suspend or Mindleech Mass’s ability), or a copy of a spell, among other possibilities. It will not counter a spell that had an additional or alternative mana cost paid to cast it, regardless of that spell’s mana value (such as a face-down spell cast with morph, or an Ornithopter cast while Trinisphere is on the battlefield, for example).

  • Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don’t use the word “instead” will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.
  • Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word “instead.” These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.
