"Find me cards equivalent to: Tibalt's Trickery"

Few cards are directly equivalent to Tibalt's Trickery in red because counterspells are rare in red. Closest options (red instants that interact with spells on the stack) include:

  • Deflecting Swat (R, Instant): Redirects a spell, but does not counter.
  • Red Elemental Blast (R, Instant): Counters blue spells only.
  • Pyroblast (R, Instant): Same as above.
  • Wild Magic Surge (R, Instant): Destroys a permanent and replaces it with a random one, similar chaos theme.

None offer the exact random-mill-then-cast effect, but Tibalt's Trickery is the defining example. Red usually disrupts, but doesn’t outright counter spells.

  • If the target spell has a variable number of targets, you can't change how many targets it has.
  • If the target spell has damage divided as it was cast (like Mythos of Vadrok), the division can't be changed although the targets receiving that damage still can. The same is true of spells that distribute counters.
  • If you choose new targets for the target spell, the new targets must be legal.
  • It doesn't matter whose commander you control. Any one will do. If you have two commanders, you just need to control one of them.
  • Once you begin casting this spell, players can't take any other actions until you're done casting it. Notably, they can't try to remove the commander you control to make you pay its cost.

  • The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before the target is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode can't be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid.
  • Pyroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a blue one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.

    Rules

  • If a player casts a spell "without paying its mana cost," they can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. They can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
  • If the spell has {X} in its mana cost, they must choose 0 as the value of X.
  • If the spell that's countered was the back face of a modal double-faced card, no card in the player's library will have the same name as that spell because those cards all use only their front-face characteristics while in the library; however, if the first card the player exiles that has a different name than the spell is a modal double-faced card, they may cast either face, even if the back face has the same name as the countered spell.
  • If there aren't any nonland cards in that library with a different name than the countered spell, the player will exile all cards from their library, revealing all of them, and then they'll put those cards on the bottom of their library in a random order.
  • Tibalt's Trickery can target a spell that can't be countered. If Tibalt's Trickery resolves, the target spell won't be countered, but all of the other effects will still happen.

    Counter target spell. Choose 1, 2, or 3 at random. Its controller mills that many cards, then exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card with a different name than that spell. They may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then they put the exiled cards on the bottom of their library in a random order.

    Destroy target permanent an opponent controls. Its controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a permanent card that shares a card type with that permanent. They put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of their library in a random order.
