"Find me cards equivalent to: Untimely Malfunction"

Cards equivalent to Untimely Malfunction in red (R), instant, and with somewhat similar modal/disruptive effects include:

  • Abrade: Instant, red. Choose one — deal 3 damage to target creature or destroy target artifact.
  • Deflecting Swat: Red instant that can change the target of a spell or ability.
  • Act of Treason: Red, not an instant but manipulates creatures temporarily.
  • Outmaneuver: Red instant, makes creatures unblockable.

Untimely Malfunction is unique because it combines modal artifact destruction, spell redirection, and blocking prevention, but Abrade (artifact removal) and Deflecting Swat (target redirection) are close in red.

    Rules

  • 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.

  • If a creature is attacking a planeswalker, assigning its damage as though it weren’t blocked means the damage is assigned to the planeswalker, not to the defending player.

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability targets multiple things, you can't target it with Untimely Malfunction's second mode, even if all but one of those targets have become illegal.
  • The effect of Untimely Malfunction's last mode won't cause creatures that are already blocking to stop blocking.
  • You don't choose the new target for the spell or ability targeted with Untimely Malfunction's second mode until Untimely Malfunction resolves. You must change the target if possible. However, you can't change the target to an illegal target. If there are no legal targets to choose from, the target isn't changed. It doesn't matter if the original target has somehow become illegal itself.
