"Find me cards equivalent to: Spelljack"

Cards equivalent to Spelljack (blue, instant, counter and cast the spell):

  • Spelljack (your reference)
  • Draining Whelk (not instant, but counters and lets you benefit)
  • Dire Fleet Ravager (not equivalent)
  • Cryptic Command (counter but doesn’t let you play spell)
  • Mindbreak Trap (exiles, but doesn’t let you play spell)
  • Mystic Genesis (creates token, doesn’t let you play spell)
  • Summary Dismissal (exiles, but doesn’t let you play spell)
  • Steal Enchantment (not counter, not instant)

Closest true equivalents:

  • Desertion (counter and gives you permanent if it’s a creature/artifact, not spells generally)
  • Aethersnatch (blue instant, counters target spell, lets you control/cast it) — this is the closest blue instant to Spelljack, just a bit cheaper mana-wise.

Best match:

  • Aethersnatch: Blue instant, “Counter target spell. You may cast that card as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell.”

    Reason: Closest match to Spelljack with similar effect.

    Rules

  • Aethersnatch can target any spell, even one without targets.
  • Combat damage dealt by a commander is tracked without regard to who controlled the commander at the time it dealt damage. For example, say a commander deals 10 combat damage to a player, leaves the battlefield, is recast, and you gain control of it with Aethersnatch. If it deals another 11 combat damage to that same player, they will lose the game.
  • If you gain control of a commander spell, the commander’s owner chooses whether to put it in the command zone if it later leaves the battlefield.
  • If you gain control of an instant or sorcery spell, it will be put into its owner’s graveyard as it resolves.
  • You may change any or none of the spell’s targets. If you change a target, you must choose a legal target for the spell. If you can’t, you must leave the target unchanged (even if the current target is illegal). Notably, if you were originally chosen as a “target opponent” for a spell you gain control with Aethersnatch, you are now an illegal target as you aren’t your own opponent.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • For Mindbreak Trap's alternative cost to apply, a single opponent must cast three or more spells. Three opponents each casting a single spell won't work, for example.
  • If a spell is exiled, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works on spells that can't be countered.
  • Mindbreak Trap's alternative cost condition checks whether an opponent cast three or more spells this turn, not whether those spells have resolved.
