Lore

Why it matters

As an instant, this card provides a crucial tactical advantage by allowing you to disrupt an opponent's momentum at a moment's notice. Despite being a common, its ability to delay a key play can frequently shift the tide of a game, making it a reliable and versatile tool for any collection.

What it does

Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard.
