English Oracle text
If an opponent cast three or more spells this turn, you may pay 
rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Exile any number of target spells.
Sceriffo ordina il silenzio: strilloni in luttoSe un avversario ha lanciato tre o più magie in questo turno, puoi pagare invece di pagare il costo di mana di questa magia.
Esilia un qualsiasi numero di magie bersaglio.
For Mindbreak Trap's alternative cost to apply, a single opponent must cast three or more spells. Three opponents each casting a single spell won't work, for example.
Mindbreak Trap's alternative cost condition checks whether an opponent cast three or more spells this turn, not whether those spells have resolved.
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.
