Nix, Instant, designed by Brian Despain first released in May, 2007 in the set Future Sight.
Nix would be a valuable addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering, particularly in a format where opponents frequently cast spells without spending mana, such as in a deck focused on cheating spells into play. While Nix can be effective in specific situations, there are more versatile counterspells like Force of Will or Pact of Negation that may be better options in competitive play due to their flexibility and broader applicability. However, Nix could still see play in certain niche strategies or casual formats where countering spells without mana cost is a prevalent tactic.

Nix can target any spell. The condition is checked only on resolution.
05/01/07
Nix checks whether any player paid mana to cast the spell, not whether its current controller did. If Commandeer is cast on a spell, then Nix is cast on that spell, Nix won’t counter it unless the player who originally cast that spell spent no mana to cast it.
