So I've been thinking of ways to combat ETB effects in colors outside Blue (countermagic) and Black (discard).
I came up with this idea for a red card:
Aether Misfire 2R
Instant
Gain control of target creature spell until the end of your next turn.
I'm just wondering if that would work. The intention is you can target a creature spell on the stack, and then it will come into play as a creature under your control, giving you any ETB effects, and then be able to attack on your next turn. I also thought of a "As long as you control it, it can't block" clause, but I'm not sure if the spell would keep this when it changes to being a permanent?
The technology/wording to do this also exists as Desertion, but I wonder if this shorter and more Red-feeling wording would work also.
It is basically a more limited Aethersnatch with a way too low cost.
The "until end of turn" clause isn't needed though.
When it comes to countering etb-effects Torpor Orb and Hushwing Gryff aren't in blue or black and does teh job pretty well

Because you don't want it to block you are better off having it enter tapped rather than giving it "can't block". This effect would probably have to cost 3RR because it is such a powerful effect. If you feel that is too much simply compare with the blue effect you are trying to mimic. Act of Treason/Cancel:This/Desertion. Though it would probably be gain control of target creature or creature spell. Something like this.

Choose one -
Gain control of target creature until the end of your next turn. Tap it.
Gain control of target creature spell until the end of your next turn. It enters the battlefield tapped.
This functions significantly differently from a normal act of treason in that the first turn you have used it, it only removed a blocker, tapping is because red isn't supposed to use these spells defensively. Then your next turn you get the attacker.
