Control Magictheft$0.77Classic permanent theft effect that can take either a creature or, with similar broad control-theme flexibility in blue, serves as the closest long-term alternative to stealing a threat. It is generally stronger in card advantage because it leaves the stolen permanent under your control indefinitely.Persuasiontheft$0.35A direct blue control-magic style effect that steals a creature. It fills the same role of turning an opponent's threat into your resource, though it cannot take artifacts.ConfiscatetheftBudget$0.08Steals any permanent, which is broader than Invoke the Winds and often functions as a late-game catch-all. It is slower, but the effect is very similar in play pattern for blue control decks.Dream Leashtheft$0.27A blue theft effect that can take a creature or enchantment, making it a close control-oriented analogue. It is cheaper and can also lock down the permanent if needed.Mind Controltheft$0.20Straightforward permanent-steal effect for creatures, matching the same game plan of converting an enemy threat into your own. It is less flexible because it cannot target artifacts.Sower of Temptationtheft$5.76Creature theft in blue with a similar tempo role, especially in blink or sacrifice-oriented shells. It is more fragile than sorcery-speed control magic, but often comes down earlier.Take Possessiontheft$0.20Blue theft spell that can answer nearly anything by taking control of a permanent, including artifacts and creatures. It is an expensive but very close functional match for a big-mana control deck.Mass Manipulationtheft$1.90Late-game blue theft spell that can take multiple creatures and/or artifacts at once. It serves the same 'turn opposing board into yours' control finisher role, just at a much higher mana investment.
