Praetor's Grasputility$10.13A high-impact tutoring-the-opponent effect that lets you steal a key card from an opponent’s deck and cast or play around their plan. It fills a similar role as a haymaker that generates huge card advantage from an enemy library.AcquireutilityBudget$2.21This also searches an opponent’s library and lets you take the best card available, creating a swingy theft effect. It is closest in feel to Knowledge Exploitation’s opponent-deck extraction, though it targets artifacts instead of instants or sorceries.Briberyutility$8.96A classic blue theft spell that searches an opponent’s library and puts a powerful card directly onto your battlefield. Like Knowledge Exploitation, it turns the opponent’s deck into your resource and can create a huge tempo swing.Theoretical DuplicationutilityBudget$1.27This copies a spell directly from the stack rather than the library, but it serves the same ‘use the opponent’s resources against them’ role. It can produce a similarly explosive free-spell tempo swing in blue decks.Narset's ReversalutilityBudget$2.52While it doesn’t search libraries, it provides a comparable blue spell-theft play pattern by copying and returning an instant or sorcery. It can function as a pseudo-free swingy answer or combo piece in the same color identity.Twincastutility$4.35A cheap blue copy spell that can effectively steal the best instant or sorcery on the stack, which is the closest low-cost functional analogue to casting an opponent’s spell for value. It is much narrower but far more efficient.Misdirectionprotection$28.45This redirects a key spell and can completely negate an opponent’s plan while preserving blue’s reactive, high-impact play pattern. It doesn’t search the library, but it similarly creates a dramatic swing by turning an opponent’s spell against them.SpelljackutilityBudget$1.66A very close high-end blue equivalent: it counters a spell and lets you cast it for free later, which is a direct spell-stealing effect. It matches the big, splashy advantage of Knowledge Exploitation at a similar top-end mana slot.
