About Desertion

Desertion, Instant, designed by Richard Kane Ferguson first released in Feb, 1997 in the set Visions and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.64.

This card, Desertion, would be a valuable addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering, particularly in a deck focused on stealing or controlling opponent's creatures and artifacts. While Desertion offers a unique twist by allowing you to take control of the countered spell, there are arguably more efficient counterspells like Cryptic Command or Force of Will that see more play due to their versatility and lower mana cost. However, Desertion could still find a place in certain decks looking for a specific type of control and theft strategy.

Rules

10/04/04

If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets can’t be countered), then this card’s ability does not put the card onto the battlefield. The spell continues to resolve as normal.

10/04/04

The card is put onto the battlefield, but any effects that check if the original card was “cast from your hand” will not trigger or otherwise consider the card to have been cast from your hand. The card was put onto the battlefield by the effect of Desertion instead.
