Briberyutility$8.96A classic blue theft spell that directly takes a key nonland permanent from an opponent’s deck or board, serving a similar control-steal role. It is often stronger in multiplayer when you want to leverage an opponent’s resources.Acquireutility$2.21This is the closest direct analogue to artifact theft, letting you take an artifact from an opponent’s library and put it onto the battlefield under your control. It fills the same artifact-swinging role at a much lower mana cost.Legerdemainutility$0.48A blue control-magic style spell that can exchange or move control of permanents, often functioning as a tempo-based theft effect. While narrower, it occupies the same niche of manipulating opponents’ board presence.Control Magicutility$0.77A staple blue permanent-steal effect that permanently takes a creature, representing the same broad blue theft gameplay. It is not artifact-specific, but it is one of the closest functional cousins in color and intent.Confiscateutility$0.08This enchantment can take control of any permanent, which is a broader version of Bilbo’s Burglaring’s artifact theft. It is slower but much more flexible and powerful once resolved.Treacheryutility$37.09Another blue permanent-steal effect that can swing the board by taking a creature and untapping lands for tempo. It is a stricter but often stronger format staple for blue control decks.Theoretical Duplicationutility$1.27A blue spell that copies a creature or artifact entering the battlefield, letting you leverage opposing permanents rather than simply remove them. It is a different angle on resource appropriation in blue.Cyber Conversionremoval$2.69This can neutralize and effectively repurpose an opposing artifact by turning it into a small creature, which is a looser but relevant form of artifact interaction. It is a budget-friendly blue answer to artifacts, though not true theft.
