Mindbreak Trap, Instant — trap, designed by Christopher Moeller first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
Mindbreak Trap is particularly effective in control or tempo decks that aim to disrupt opponents' strategies by countering multiple spells in a single turn, especially in formats where spell-heavy decks are prevalent. It can be especially beneficial in blue-based decks that can draw cards and manipulate the game state, allowing for timely activation of its trap condition. While there are other counterspells like Force of Will or Cryptic Command that offer versatility, Mindbreak Trap's unique ability to exile multiple spells for free can be invaluable in specific matchups, particularly against combo or spell-centric decks. Overall, it should see play in certain metagames, especially where opponents frequently cast multiple spells in a turn.

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.

If a spell is exiled, it’s removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn’t countered; it just no longer exists. This works on spells that can’t be countered, such as Terra Stomper.

You may ignore a Trap’s alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
